Comments about Garmin TOPO US 24K microSD Data Card - Idaho/Montana/Wyoming:
The ID/MT/WY version comes on a 4MB card. When I plugged it into my eTrex Vista HCx it would not display. Took quite a bit of searching, but I finally figured out that I needed a firmware update for my unit.
Seems that my firmware version 2.80 that came with the unit only supports up to 2MB cards. The latest release - firmware version 3.00 was needed to support 4MB+ cards. Once I downloaded and installed the firmware update, the data card loaded right up.
Now don't you think Garmin might put a note in the package to mention a thing like that? Or at least put a note on their website? I even checked their support section. Turns out the only place this is described is in the release notes for the firmware upgrade.
Frustrating for me as a knowledgeable user. I can only guess this results in unnecessary returns and unhappy customers.
As for me, I am a happy [GPS-enabled] camper now.

I ordered this on line as a anniversary present for my husband, because we had already planned a vacation to Yellowstone. We live in Washington and have that chip and it works great. When we got to Idaho we put the chip in and it was blank,When we arrived home I called our local REI where I had chip sent and they told me that without a receipt I could only get store credit or they could order me a new one but it could take two weeks to get I had already been to Yelllowstone> Wish I could go back in two weeks to use it but I have a job. Hopefully the new one will have the info I paid [$] dollars for
