What is the deal with blank Garmin data cards?

[Glenn Ashmore]

I am shopping for a couple of 64MB data cards for my 176C. I am finding
"Discount" prices from $70 to $140.
Here is the low one: http://www.gpsnow.com/gmdc.htm
Here is one more in line with the comon street price:

And here is the high price leader:

Average ebay price seems to be around $90.

I am all for getting the best deal but that kind of spread makes me a
little nervous. Does Garmin make all the cards or are there some after
market cards?

If you can, wait until July (mid month). There will be a surplus of
RAM and prices will come down a lot. Likely a 30% to 50% reduction.


When buying a Data Card do NOT buy "photo disks", they are too slow.

loaded with Garmin Blue Charts from a CD. THEY will see a price
reduction.
