Default How to update Garmin 430 data-card?

Why would a card reader limit ones ability to read a larger capacity card?

Isn't a card reader is a dumb device?

Is it the driver software that is the limiting factor?


Unlike the GNS480 which uses standard CF cards (and can be
programmed in any CF reader that lets you write to a windows
filesystem), the 430/530 cards are goofball proprietary
and so is the Skybound programmer for it.
