vista memory card

[atari7]

I have a Vista HCx and need to purchase a SD memory card, the Etrex's without upgradeable memory cards have 24mb installed, Will I ever use 1 or 2 gigs of memory?

Only if you load maps onto the card.

I have a vista hcx and use a 1gb card. I have all of Florida from City Navigator and Topo 2008 stored on it. I haven't bothered to see how much space I have left. I would have bought a 2gb card, but couldn't find one at any of the stores within a few miles of me. I was anxious to get my maps on so I settled for a 1gb.

It all depends on you. I filled up my 1 gig card by installing City Navigator for the entire US east of the Mississppi + selected metro areas that I was likely to visit, as well as Topo for much of the northeastern US.

 

I regret now that I didn't get the 2 gig card.

For the kind of traveling and caching I am doing now, the 1 GB card is plenty. But, I wish my lifestyle allowed traveling and caching where the 2 GB card was the best choice . . .

Thanks for the help, I guess I'll be buying a 2 gig memory card.

Make sure to get a MicroSD card.

Yeah, I know people who have made that mistake. I saw the micro SD cards on sale at Staples over the weekend.

I picked up a 2G Sans MicroSD card at Costco for about $20, fwiw.

At $16 for a 1GB and $21 for a 2GB - the decsion is made pretty quickly.
