Mark, thanks for the photo...any idea what Garmin wants for one of those 512 cards?
Also, doesn't it seem a little annoying that after a guy pays $1500-1600 for a GPS you then have to buy the Auto kit EXTRA? I really dislike Garmin as a company because of the way they do things like that (a proprietary memory card, nearly $200 for a Flybuddy GPS update, etc..give me a break)...BUT: they sure make some great GPS units!!
Dan,
A 128MB card comes w/ the auto kit, but I wanted to hold more data for longer auto trips, hence I got the 512 MB card...from 4x4books in Nebraska for $150 + S&H.
I had been using the 195 since 1996 and the recent transition to the 296 bowled me over by it's functionality, speed, and elegance. Sure, it'd be nice if it were cheaper. When you think about it, you are getting a state of the art unit that'll serve you well in your boat, plane and car. Now that's value!
