Anybody know where I can source a microSD card for France to stick in my Garmin Oregon 450 at a reasonable price?

I recall the place everyone bought the OS UK 1:50k cards from had IGN sd cards.

Sorry ... just checked and they do a TOPO card but not an IGN card. Saying that it should still do the job if you're following a track.

I'm sure there is something from IGN as our butcher rides a bit and was talking about his IGN powered GPS the other day - am popping over next week and so will ask him about it (sorry it's not sooner).
I just use the free mapping from openmtbmap.org and have yet to loose my way anywhere in France with them (though they're more for track following than full-on map reading on your GPS).

I had thought of the ioffer card but not realised the Topo maps were not IGN. Love to hear what your butcher has to say Gairy (unless it's to recommend anything like Andouillette!)
