Default What size SD card?

What's the max size I can use in the nav for mp3's and is there a 99 song limit on each card?

Default there is a limit to 500 files ( files and folders) so 2GB will hold about 350- @ 256BPS-

And 4GB will hold all 500 but have about 1 GB free- so i use 4 - 2gb cards-

also if you get 4GB you can not use the SCHC cards- only standard 4GB will work so you will have to go off brand as all the good makers of SD cards- will be SDHC above 2GB.

Default I was under the impression it was a 256 file/folder limit

I use 2 GBytes SD cards without problem. Posters on Navplus.us forum have mentioned using 4GByte without problem, but with a 256 file limit, you may not be able to fill a 4 or 8GByte card anyway.

Default Shameless plug

But you can check out my tool I created to help organize and synch mp3s to your SD card

http://a3synch.koston.net/

Except i just read that you have a MAC so you can't I guess.

Nevermind sorry

Default Given that 2 cards have same GB rating and same files loaded...

Can some SD cards load or transfer info faster than others? Thanks!
