512Mb SD Cards with Tungsten T3

Having just received my Navman 4460 for the Palm I need a larger SD card to store the maps on. I have been told / read somewhere that the Palm OS only supports a maximum 256MB Secure Digital memory card. Is this true, or can I use a 512Mb or even a 1Gb card to put my maps/documents/music on?

Thanks
Spence.

yeah thats not true at all. you can use a 512 or 1 gig(and you can now get a 1gig card for like 50 bucks)
i think they even have 1.5 gig cards and ar eplannaing on releasing 2 gig cards in the coming months. im eventually planning on getting two 1 gig cards for my zodiac so i can have a max of like 2 gigs on my zodiac(thats like 4 or so movies )

Theres no limit on what cards your Palm can read however Navman don't recommend you use anything larger than a 256MB card with their software.

Charlie,

Why the 256Mb limit? If there's no limit to what the Palm OS can read, then why do Navman recommend only 256Mb. It seems a bit odd. I want to store maps for the UK (120Mb), France (295Mb) and Germany (283Mb) on one card if possible (these are the countries I visit for work on regular basis). I don't want to be swapping cards in and out depending on where I am going. A 1Gb card seems ideal as it will also leave me about 300Mb for MP3 files and other documents

They say it slows the program down as it has to search a larger card for the map data required.
