   Never mind, I found the answer to my question.  It's a /Micro *SD*/   
   card for my Garmin and that was required to update maps on my   
   device.  I might be mistaken, but I don't believe Garmin offers   
   preloaded maps.  You must select *your* region or the entire lower   
   48 states for those updates.
