A lot of us use SanDisk Extreme III, 4 to 8 gb but it is a matter of preference you can go to 64 gb, there are a lot of good cards out there.  I use a generic 2 gb cheap card for update it was the smallest card I found over the counter.  I use this card just for updates and it has worked well for me.  Today I am not sure there is a bad card.

I agree with the postings.  Most SD cards will work with the HB.  We use the Sandisk 2, 4 and 16 in size. They have always worked..

For waypoint transfer you don’t need a large memory card at all.  As George posted: “I use a generic 2 gb cheap card for update it was the smallest card I found over the counter.”, it’s hard to find a memory card that is less than 2GB in size now-a-days.  I’m still using my 64MB MMC card though!

If you want to make a bunch of Screen Snapshots or get into Sonar Recordings I would not get anything smaller than a 2GB SD/SDHC memory card.  The max capacity is a 32GB SDHC memory card (this is the limit for SDHC cards).
