Can I use a 64GB or larger card?

Can I use a 64GB or larger card?

No, most Garmin devices (Oregon, Edge, Dakota, Montana, Monterra, Etrex 20/25/30/35 including x, etc.) only support cards up to 32GB (they will NOT support 64GB or larger cards).

Older Garmin devices (such as the Vista/Legend Hcx or GPSMap60Csx) will usually support up to 8GB cards, however they should also support cards up to 32GB (with the latest firmware installed).

All MicroSD cards MUST be formatted as FAT32 (for smaller cards <4GB you should be able to use FAT or FAT16). Using NTFS or HPFS will NOT work, as Garmin devices only support FAT/FAT32.
