GPS Data Cards...One big one or a bunch of small ones?

[Skillet]

I have a garmin gps unit and I am going to buy a data card or some data cards.

What is better, get a couple of lower memory ones or one big one?

Any preferences?

 

[et3surge]

what are you using it for?

Skillet,

Bigger is always better in this case. I'd rather have one big card and forget about it. Than having to swap cards and remembering what's on each one.
What GPS do you have?

Regards

I went ahead and got the big boy, 512. $140.

Thought about getting a bunch of separate ones for different deals but it will be more money and more of a PITA.

It is the Garmin 378. Kinda new to the scene. So far i like it but I still have not even learned 1/16th of what it does.

This application is for a Baja Adventurers deal I bought.
I guess I will have room for plenty more.

ouch, thats a lot of $$ for a 512mb of mem. i wonder why garmin went with there own memory stick for that. on my 60csx i takes micro SD card. nice and cheap.

Skillet,

Cool. You'll enjoy it.
Today I programed my 2m radio from a laptop. It's pretty sweet. A lot easier than doing it from the control panel. I get to see names now instead of frequencies.

Yea, those things are not cheap but they are the only ones it accepts. I like the unit though.

Hopefully, I will only need one for a while.
