Picking up a new garmin tracking system today the only thing it lacks in the sd card and i was wondering if when you buy the card if the maps are already on it and if not how would i go about uploading them? never owned a system before so this is all new to me

Yes, thats a good deal for that SD card. Just make sure it's not one of those cards that you go on the internet to download maps from because we know a few
people who have done that and it messed their garmin up. Not saying that it happens to everyone, just something to be aware of. Ours is a Topo card.



Lol...oh yea thanks, i thought it was pretty funny when i heard it too.

Is it the more detailed map on the $25 card or is it how it looks when you download the free version on-line?

 u can buy sd and micro sd cards cheaper than 25. i paid 15 for mine at best buy and it is a 4 or 8 gig card. there is a link on the forum that has instructions on how to load the maps on the card and i havent had any problems with mine. this is the link that was on the forum a while back. http://www.easttexashogdoggers.com/forum/index.php?topic=7547.0  follow the instructions and it should work fine for u unless the unit is messed up
