Hi,
Thought I'd pass this on as it caused me a few headaches....
I bought a Zumo 660 about 6 months ago, and very pleased I was with it's performance in the UK, and on a trip to France.
I am planning a fly-drive to the West coast of the USA, so ordered the North America maps (on DVD) from Garmin - turned up pronto - so no problems there.
Next was to get a suitable Micro SD card - 4Gb was recommended by Garmin over the 'phone. I visited my local Maplin's and was offered a 4Gb Micro SD-HC card for £34 quid!!
I rang Garmin, who told me that a the SD-HC was not compatible with the unit, and advised that I get a standard SD card.
Upshot of all this was that I ordered an 4Gb Micro SD over the t'internet (£12 quid) - and guess what arrived, an SD-HC card....
So, gave up, and installed the SD-HC card into the 660 anyway, loaded the US maps into the unit, following Garmin's on-line FAQ instructions and it works fine, so happy days....
