You will need to Google on that. I have a Garmin 60CSx handheld unit and it only supports up to 2gig cards and has a stricter limit on the number of map segments that can be downloaded. The format of the MicroSD cards change going up from 2gig and your GPS firmware would need to be capable of dealing with it. Rumor is floating around that firmware updates can fix this issue.
