Garmin 3790T MicroSD size

Can someone tell me if the 3790T will only take the 2GB MicroSD card? Will it be able to take the higher capacity card like the 4GB Micro SDHC card? Thanks.

It definitely can, for new Garmin 3790T, it accepts 4 GB. However, you should be careful about the brand. Some may not be recognised by unit.

Would the Sandisk or Kingston brand be compatible? I also note that these micro SDHC cards also come with higher capacities as well like 8GB and even 16GB. Is there any size limit the 3790T can take at all? Thanks again.

I suppose any POI that you find useful. For example the location of railway stations,schools, national parks, ATMs etc, etc. If you put them on an SD card then you do not reduce the capacity of your GPS when you need space for updated maps. The GPS Data Team has very many useful POI files that are updated constantly. :lol:

My 1490 needs the micro SD to be FAT not NTFS format. I assume 3790 takes FAT format as well. So make sure you use the proper format.

Anything and everything. Holds and displays all you photos, but mainly maps updated for a foriegn country or your country, poi's, jcv (junction view) and any other things that I don't want Garmin to know about when connecting to there site, or any warranty issues (just remove card and its original again) and for the ease of copying things to it without having to connect gps. Also copying all my updates to my mother and fathers gps so they too have the latest and greatest of everything.
