In the NXi system, the card does not need to reside in the system, it is inserted only during the update process and removed before flying. I put the card in my computer and use the Garmin web site (and associated app) to copy the data to the SD card (any 16GB + SD card)
At the plane, I insert the card, power up the system and the G1000 NXi copies the data into its internal memory in the "Standby" storage slot for each data file. Then I shut down the system, remove the card, and power it up again. The system recognizes the "standby" data is newer than the current "active" data, and replaces the "active" with the "standby". The card is never in the system when the plane is flying.
Or if you're fortunate enough to receive Diamond's Phase II software, you can simply copy the data wirelessly from Garmin Pilot to the system via the Flight Stream 510. No cards used at all.
