I would have, except Garmin doesn't make it clear that these maps are limited when purchased on the SD card.

I had the City Navigator North America 2008 DVD for my old Etrex.  I figured this new SD card map could be downloaded or transferred onto another card or computer.

I'm extremely disappointed with Garmin for doing this and not making it perfectly clear that the SD card can't be downloaded onto the memory of a unit. 

It makes me want to stear towards another manufacturer in the future!

I just purchased an Etrex 30x.  I have the Topo 100K micro SD card and just purchased City Navigator North America, on micro SD card.

I just learned these maps cannot be downloaded onto the device's memory.  I am told I have to use the SD card and if I want to switch from one map to the other, I have to physically remove the card. 

I know these SD cards are protected and aren't supposed to be able to be modified, but is there a way?

If there was some way I could download only one of the maps to the device's memory, then I could leave the other inserted.  I'm just trying to avoid having to carry the other SD card (which could get lost) and having to physically change out the cards when I want to changt to the other map. 

Has anyone figured out a way to save the map to the device from the SD card?'

Thank you, Chad
