2003-05-21Why didn't I rate 5 stars? It take 4 hours to load the card over a serial link. The USB programmer is a bit pricy but would really make life much easier. I think for my needs I can get by without it. If you need program the card often you will want it for sure.
The Jury is still out

I have an older streetpilot colormap. In order to be compatable with this card you have to make sure that you have updated firmware (just download it from Garmin), and a current copy of mapsource. Upgrades are available on Garmin's web site(mine was way old).
It turns out that you can load more than 8 metroguide maps. You can have as many maps as space allows. Since they aren't all 8MB this is a real plus. My unit limits you to 50 maps, but you can get a lot of Roads and Recreation maps in since they vary from 64k to 400K. Garmin has very good phone support.
I am having issues with my card though. Depending on where I am in the map set the unit will hang and sometimes shut off while navigating a route. I might just have a defective card. I will find out how Amazon handles these issues soon.
Oh yes downloading nearly 64MB takes nearly four hours. The USB interface is looking very attractive (even if it is expensive).
