Thanks. I tried sending the smaller maps to my card reader again. What found was that when I opened MM5 on the PDA the map did not appear on the list initially. What I had to do was open the file in the storage card after that it showed up on the map list. Looks like I will need to find a copy of MM4 so I can load larger maps. Rather coincidentally I was trying to do this last night. The option to send an enclosed portion of a map was introduced shortly after 5.0.0. I upgraded from a link I found on another forum and then just created 2 routes per 1:50K map and bingo. Upload took about 1 minute per upload to a card reader. Let me know if you want the link and I'll search it out when I get home. I would appreciative it if you could send the link and I will give it a go. Many Thanks.

That sounds interesting. How do you do that? It took 3.5 hours to load the 603 MB of MM5 region 6 on to my iPAQ 5550 only to discover it would not run.

Where did you first hear about geocaching?
Del Boy Orkney replied to Phil&Phil2008's topic in General geocaching topics
I discovered geoaching when my old Garmin GPS 12 died on me. I decided I would look around on the internet to see what the modern equivalent would be. The Garmin GPSmap 60CSX took my fancy as it had some very good reviews although it had many features that I did not have a clue as to what they were. Geocaching being one of them, but in the end it was the colour screen and a bundle with maps and accessories on Ebay from America cheaper that I could buy the GPS on its own in the UK that made up my mind. When it arrived I checked out Geocaching on the internet and discovered where my local caches were. That was me hooked. At twice the price of my old GPS was my new one worth it? Absolutely I have used it more in the last six months than my old one in the ten years I had it.
