    Garmin 2610 ....another question or two

    How big an area can I expect the 128mb card to hold when down to rural
    street lvl setting? Can a whole state fit on it at that setting ?
    Do I need a 256 or 512mb card?

    Thanks

    Yes, though how many states depend on the population and road density
    of the state. Oregon and Washington and most of California (minus the
    LA area) fit in 128 MB. It takes 2 GB to load the whole US and Canada.

    In my case I have the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
    Connecticut, Rhode Island, eastern NY and NJ, basically a pretty good
    chunk of New England.

    The only time I've had to load different maps is when travelling to
    another state, which is uncommon. If it happened more often I'd get a
    larger card, or maybe just a different one I can swap in.

    Yet another question....
    Can I install this myself or do I really need it done by a profesional?

    THanks

    Both the 2610 and 2650 are plug and play....but;
    it you want the dead reckoning capabilities in the 2650, you have to
    install some additional wiring. Garmin only sells that model through
    authorized installers...

    I'll bet 99.5% of 2600 series owners own the 2610.

    Does the amount of data/size of CF card effect speed? Would 128 MB be slower/faster that
    256MB and so on?
    Warm Regards,

    What's been written in the past says there's little/no effect.
