well thanks all for the input...so i was correct..and i didnt mean i wasted money on the 600..its tits...but i wasted about 300 bucks on the garmin micro sd's.  cant return them because i am famous for throwing all packaging away before i have tested my purchases!
I guess I will try to sell them used and go the way i should have so i could load them all on my 16 gig sd card.
seems like garmin has a way to go yet with their programming which is surprising considering they are numero uno in this field..it is actually rather amazing that they are lacking in some simple functions and also puny in internal flash rom. heck even chinese copy pda's have 10x the memory that my 600 dollar montana has. and the camera on the montana?  pretty limp in todays technology!
I wish apple would make a standalone gps! hmm.coming to think of it...i have a 4s that has a gps and there is excellent mapping apps avail and can download pay for view topo maps . I had done that before some months back. and i have a fully waterproof slimline case for it.
SO what does the iphone lack in comparison to the garmins if the phone function is disabled along with all other communication features.

 
Man am I scratching my head thinking that I am more denser than i thought. Decided to set aside my iphone/ipad with google maps etc and buy a real gps. So I picked up a new Montana 600 and also a handful of chips off the rack - northwest & west & oregon hunt & the nuvi navigator. ( $$$)
I have gone thru this excellent site and see nowhere where it says I can load these maps into internal memory...so I am assuming that everytime I want to access one i have to swap chips?  If so this is crazy and I have to believe that I am missing something.  There is no function on the 600 to import maps from a chip and the data on the chip cant be copied to a large capacity micro sd card which I also bought.
So did i buy the wrong thing? thx for help
