humminbird 859 HD DI combo SD card?

Hey guys i have another newbie question? on this new 859 combo finder i see it has to SD card holder spots. Does anyone know if when you purchase a new Humminbird if it comes with these SD cards? If not where can i buy one? Will Just any SD card work wow theres a lot of stuff in need to learn in order to get the maximum capabilities of this finder and my new terrovia I pilot with link. Thank You

It should have dual sd card slots. I use one for the map card and the other to record snap shots or other data and store waypoints. Any sd card will work. However, capacity is 32 gb I believe. There are different class of cards. Better class of card means better speed. Although I cannot remember if higher class means faster. You can look online for info about sd cards.

Like said above, get a lakemaster lake map card and stick it in one of the slots.

Take a 2-4GB card and stick it in the other.
This will store your waypoints with screencaptures.

Unless you plan on recording and making your own sonar charts, 2GB is plenty. I can personally tell you that if you get over 1,000-1,500 waypoints with screencaptures on your unit – it will get pretty doggy.
I’ve since gone to wiping my waypoints each year and like not having last years hot spots as a distraction to finding new hot spots.

Thanks guys for the info i will check it out and try to get the right cards so i can take advantage of all the cool features on this set up as soon as i get the other link problem figured out.

amazon.com has the best SD card prices, jAnderson is correct, 32GB is the biggest card you can use, got my 32gb card for $8 on amazon

Thanks guys I will get me some ordered up thank you

I never remove my hot spots.
I use an 8GB card
But
it is not doggy as I use a 95 Mbs high speed card.

Thanks eyekatcher I’ll look into a good sd card

Yep, i used the fastest card too. This was on an 898 mind you. It’s would bog it down big time.
My 1199’s processor is crazy fast compared. Might be able to stack thousands of waypoints with screencaptures.
