Be careful if you aren't buying a brand new one. I bought a "pre-owned" one (Ebay)and it didn't work in my unit. Garmin uses some type of "unlock" code on the newer ones and they are only good for use on one unit. If you take it out and stick it in another unit it will not work. I called Garmin and they charge an "unlock" fee for about the same as a new one. Luckily I was able to return it and get my $$ back.

The older used ones are interchangable but the newer ones will not work unless unlocked.
