I need a 4GB SD card for my Garmin Satnav. All that I can find for online purchase are SDHC cards. Is there any difference please?

It is a Garmin nuvi265WT. I have never had any need before now for this type of card. Can I assume that 4 GB cards are all in reality SDHC cards, and that 4GB plain SD cards do not exist?
