Micro SD with sd converter on Colorado 300

[+bdejong]

I did do a search but I did not get a good answer to this.

 

For some reason I thought the colorado used a MicroSD card so I bought a 4gig SanDisk MicroSDHC card that comes with an SD adapter today.

 

Can someone please verify that this will work???

 

Here is the part number and the description.

I would be interested to see what people say to this as I have a microSD with SD adapter as well and if I were to upgrade to the Colorado it would be nice not to have to purchase another card.

I am using a Kingston 1 gig micro with the included adapter in my Colorado 400t.

Sure, this should work fine. As a matter of fact, I understand that all the pre-loaded mapping software cards that Garmin will sell are Micro SD in the SD sized adapter. I guess this way one card fits all (60's, 76's and Colorados). There's also a 4000 map limit and 4GB is the max sized card usable in the Colorados I understand.

I use a 2 gig micro that I took out of my 60CSx with City Navigator on it. It works great.

SDHC cards are not officially supported. Only the standard SD cards. The high capacity range from 4GB-32GB however, 4GB also come in HC and non-HC which causes a lot of confusion.

 

Now, that's not to say the HC cards won't work in the unit. I have heard a couple of other forum users using 4GB SDHC cards with success. I do not beleive you can use more than 4GB but that is yet to be determined. Would love to know if anyone has tried it.

OK,

 

I put the microSD into the SD converter and put it in the 300 and guess what... It appears to work!!!

 

I loaded all the maps from topo 2008 from my home state and they loaded just fine.

 

It appears to see the whole drive.

 

It was a good deal, 50.00 for the micro, converter and a cool little usb drive to plug it into your computer.
