Yes. I picked up a SanDisk 4GB Ultra II and it works just fine.

That would be this card, right? http://tinyurl.com/2wpjy3
The SDHC cards are fairly new still, and compatibility is not widespread
or obvious yet. This link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Secur...ard#
SDHC
says that "Several Garmin GPS devices such as the Zumo and Nuvi with the
proper software version" are compatible but Garmin is not reporting that
or making much mention of it yet.
I suppose that when Garmin has a Garmin branded SDHC SD card ready to
sell to consumers, they will make it official. And give us the change
to buy their cards at several times the street prices.

| Yes, that would be the one. Picked mine up at Costco for $50 last
week.

Lakro-
How can one tell if it is really working? What happens if you use an 8
GB card with earlier firmware?
Is it possible that an SDHC card would appear to work, but only with the
2GB capacity limit of the older SD standard?

In general, *if* there is some issue then you may see
- If the card has some issue (defected) then the divice may not be able =
to
detect it. CAN'T FIND=20
- *If* the card has larger capacity than the device supports then usually=
it
will only accept the max supported size. IOW, if the device only support=
up
to 2GB and you insert the 8GB then it will display and store up to 2GB

You may want to do a little more on the SD and SDHC. I haven't owned =
any
SD nor SDHC yet to know more detail to feed you, but my understand is
different than yours.
