Nuvi 660 - SD / SDHC Compatibility

[JW_GPSWorld]

I’ve been using a 4GB SD card (SD1.1) in my Nuvi 660 successfully for several months for storing MP3 music files.

I need to order a new SD card and notice that there’s now a new variety available: SDHC.

The 4GB SDHC cards also seem to be considerably cheaper than the SD1.1 ones.

Apparently SDHC isn’t backwardly compatible with older equipment. However I noticed that the Nuvi 670 does appear to be SDHC compliant (See this review by necromosh): -

I imagine that the SD card circuitry in the 660 & 670 may be similar.

Has anyone tried, successfully or otherwise, to use a SDHC card in a Nuvi 660?

Yes, I bought a 4gb SDHC card from Play a few weeks ago and it works fine on my Nuvi 660 and was very cheap at £17.99 delivered!

Here is the link to the one I bought, filling it up over the usb1 connection is the slow part so I think the next thing i'll be buying is a card reader!
