Hi,
I am wondering how much map data I could fit on an inexpensive GPS that has 24MB of internal storage. (One city block, one town, one state?) I've searched, and simply can't find an answer. I also tried to generate my own maps from some of the free sites to test it myself, but was not successful. It doesn't help that I don't own a GPS yet. I've borrowed a unit, but I'm leaving it entirely untouched so I don't mess it up for the owner!
If someone could generate a topo map for Victoria BC and surrounding area, could you let me know how large the file is?
My other burning question is this: Could I use a smart phone without a data provider? I would use wireless to get data to the phone, and then use the maps "off line" while hiking around. Would this work? I understand that I would have to find/buy/subscribe to a geocaching application for the device.
Thanks,
Colin
