Garmin 010-10676-00 Carrying Case for GPS Units Review

Please note that this review is for the Garmin Carrying Case for the rhino. It seems the review is appearing for other products too.
The holes giving access to the thumb stick, volume button, and zoom button are horrible. The case shifts a little and pushes a button or, most commonly, presses the thumb stick one direction or another. For example, my case liked to push the thumb stick down. The volume button got pressed somehow and my rhino went mute. I promptly cut the plastic away from the buttons. Problem solved. Only other problem was fogging between the display and the transparent plastic. Solved by cutting away more plastic and using adhesive screen protectors. Messed up the fit a bit too.
I recommend just using adhesive screen protectors. The rhino might get roughed up, but the screen will stay OK.

Garmin 64MB Memory Cartridge for Street Pilot or eMap Review

I have had two problems with this card that may or may not affect others. I had an old version of Mapsource that did not recognize the 64MB cards. A call to customer service pointed me to a free update. I had difficulty with the card in my unit. The unit was acting very flaky. A call to Garmin customer service resulted in getting a in Warranty repair for an old unit. Some specific older units (the StreetPilot Colormap) do not properly handle cards with greater than 16MB capacities.
Why didn't I rate 5 stars? It take 4 hours to load the card over a serial link. The USB programmer is a bit pricy but would really make life much easier. I think for my needs I can get by without it. If you need program the card often you will want it for sure.

Use this 64 MB data card to bring street-level map and navigational detail to your Garmin global positioning system unit. Download map data from Garmin MapSource CD-ROMs to your PC, then transfer to the data card. Data transfers can be performed with the card inserted in the Garmin GPS unit or using Garmin's USB data card programmer (sold separately). The USB data card programmer downloads map information in seconds and saves your GPS unit's battery power.
These cards can be used with Garmin GPS units including StreetPilot, ColorMap, eMap, and GPSMAP 295 models. MapSource CDs are available for the U.S., Canada, and many European countries. This card comes with a one-year warranty.
