the limit is not in the X GB, it is in the 999 songs. Let's say I have 5,000songs but each one is only .5 MB. That would fit on a X GB card, but I would only be able to have 999 songs...

I personally have 2 4Gig cards. One is full and the other is not quite 1/2 way full. Neither have anywhere near 999 songs on them.

The adapter is because the PC Card slot does not take a Compact Flash card... you need to put the card in the adapter and pop the adapter in. This will go fully into the navi unit and you will be able to close the face. You will see when you get the necessary hardware.

Just stick to the ones in the picture above, those are the best. Also, I would not get any card that is above 4 gig personally.
