You need to use a microSD card, not a microSDHC card. microSD cards max out at 2GB, anything larger is a microSDHC.
The 1390t works with microSD cards. Your 8GB card is actually a microSDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it will not work in older devices.

I dont thinki the 330 handles 4Gb SD cards I think 2Gb is the maximum that is why it isd taking so long and runds out of space so cannot properly load the maps.

What's your problem?lg900g won't recognize micro sd

The LG900g works with microSD cards. Your 8GB card is actually a microSDHC card. While microSDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically compatble and will not work in devices not specifically designed to work with the higher-capacity cards. You need to use microSD cards, 2GB and smaller.

How to format the sd card for nuvi 1390t

I found the solution on my own. My PC is a Win 7 64bit machine and I was using Google Chrome Version 18. When I tried the download again using IE, it worked fine. I now have 3 full maps on my Nuvi 1390 (i in the internal memory and 2 in the SD card) and can access each one without a problem.

My lg vu will not recognize my memory card. I have a micro sd 8g card. Does this phone only recognize a smaller card?

Sir,
Yourcell phone supports only MicroSD in it so you can purchase the card by the this name "MicroSD" Your card may not be recognized if its corrupted or have any other format then"FAT" please observe "FAT" not "FAT32".

Wrong SD cards????

Your printer may have issues reading SDHC memory cards. The Secure Digital 2.0 standard (SDHC) is not backwards compatible and requires SDHC compatible devices in order to function.

Does not recognize the micro sd card

First, make sure it's a microSD card and not a microSDHC card. If it's larger than 2GB then it's a microSDHC card and won't work. Second, make sure all your music is in a folder named "MUSIC".
