Garmin Memory Cards-276/376/476

Need a little guidance from those of you with the Garmin 276/etc series. How big of a memory card does it really need? I started playing with it today, and assuming I want to add all Topo for East Coast, Maine to Florida, out to Pennsylvania and down? Or is that like computer memory, buy as much as you can afford? First time trying to buy these larger cards, and they arent readily available at local stores to even see what they look like and read about. Any help appreciated before I make the purchase.

I run a 512mb card for City Navigator NT data on about 50% of the country. Its not large enough for 100%, but it has been more than adequate for me. I can't comment on Topo.

Buy the biggest you can afford. Simple as that.

Also, US residents should consider buying from www.gpscentral.ca here in Canada. I buy all my GPS equipment from them and their service is amazing. However since the Canadian dollar has tanked against the USD, it's like getting everything at almost 30% off. Even with shipping, it will probably be cheaper then buying stateside.
