Next April we will both be retired, and plan an extended ( 6-8 wks ) ride around central Europe ie Hungary, Slovakia, CZ Republic, Poland, and possibly into the Ukraine. We are looking to take as much info as possible on the Zumo to help with finding hotels, campsites etc. Can anyone tell me what is the largest sized SD card they are using. There's lots of posts re 4 Gig max, but some peeps seem to be using 8's and there is a mention of a 16 Gig card being used. I would be very grateful for your help in this matter, and also for info about POI download sites. Many thanks in advance.

Garmin recommend 4Gb only as some of the bigger cards don't always work, do to the nature of how they store the info. Spoke to garmin at the nec as this was my concern also. One of the blokes I spoke to had organised the "long way down" and they used a 4Gb card and there was still loads of space on the cards even after they had months worth of track info

I use a 4GB SanDisk SDHC. I have a lot of MP3 tracks, routes, waypoints, pictures etc on it. Still have loads of space. Purchased from 7DayShop.com for £17.49

I did a similar trip this year down as far as Moldova, just over a much shorter time. Used 2 2gb cards with no problems. Was after I got back that the 4gb upgrade was introduced. Still managed to get enough music at decent quality onto the 2gb card that I could ride for 3-4 days without listening to the same track twice.
If you do get chance to get into Ukraine - do it, Ukraine and Moldova were by far the best places I went to. People are unbelievably friendly even though your bike will probably be worth more than a small village. And talk about cheap. Some of the small bars even in the capital if Moldova were selling a beer for about 10p. Just watch out for the vodka toting Ukrainians - they wont let you leave sober if you are not careful.
Never had even the slightest issue at any border crossing with the exception of the Ukraine border where one of the army guys handed me his AK so he could sit on the bike. The other army guys were non to impressed with me holding it. Well not until they had shown me the correct way to do it anyway.
