SD Card for Nuvi 760

I have just ordered a Nuvi 760 from Amazon for £204.99. Do I need an SD card for it, and if so, what is the best one to buy?

Thanks.

I got a scandisk 4GB SD card from Amazon for about £8 for my 770.

It has approx 3.5GB of music and audio books on it for my motorhome trips.

leaving space for routes & waypoints and custom POI's Very Happy

You don't need one but it is very handy to have & I use mine for storing loads of mp3's & all my speed camera data from here.

Well worth getting one & although I have some top end cards the cheap ones have always worked as well.

Does anyone know if the Garmin units - especially the 7xx and 8xx units are able to support the SD High Capacity disks which go up to 32GB?

Many thanks

Miles

Hi Miles

I have found out that the maximum SD card size is 4gb for the 700 series and the new 800 as well when it comes out. (the 800 series will be using the micro SD card)

I made enquiries into that as well as I was going to get an 8gb, I'm glad that I didn't as that would have been a useless buy.

Hi Chris

To tell you the truth I didn't go for an 8gb SD card, I had a look at the Garmin frequently asked questions about the limits for the SD card.

At the moment I have the equivalent of 22 cd's converted to mp3's on my card. I am going to get another 4gb card so I will put different titles on when I've listened to all the orther one. Btw can you remember as to where you saw abou the 8g card as I missed that one.

Thanks

Rudd

hey guys my first post here.
having just bought the 760 i also bought an 8gb card at the same time
not knowing that the device only supported 4gb cards.
the 8gb card works just fine so far i have loaded 1360 mp3 so far and they
play with no problems at all.
the card i bought was a transcend 8gb sdhc class 6 from amazon for £15.46

hope this information help

Well that's soomething new I've learnt today, I never thought that the 8gb would work. I'm off to buy one as well now.

Thanks for letting us know.

Without actually testing it, I suspect it's the same issue as the TomTomGuys have. It will only write to 4g, but can read from 8, or 16, etc.

Do I need to download (all or some) POIs from site here to SD card or will they fit on my Nuvi 760?

If I have the choice, which is the better option?

Sorry if questions have been answered before, I am new to the wonders of sat nav. Embarassed
