Map redraw is almost instant when zooming and panning. I played with a Dakota 20 and Oregon 300 in a store today for about 20 minutes and the Dakota user interface is noticeably faster.

Today I bought a SanDisk microSD SDHC 8GB card to test if it is accepted by my Dakota 20. Any difficulties, 8GB card formatted with FAT32 on the factory is working well with my Dakota. I haven't tested 16GB, but I don't expect any differences as long as FAT32 is supported. Off topic: this 8GB SanDisk card is working properly even in my old-fashioned 60csx (with firmware version 4.0) which was also thought as incompatible with SDHC cards.
