You can only download 2025 map segments to your GPSr. Take a look at your Mapsource file (lower left) and see how many maps your file contains, if more than 2025 reduce the number of maps in the file and everything should work. If your using CN v.8 entire U.S. will go on 2 Gb; if using CN NT v.8 entire U.S. will go on 1 Gb. No matter what size of memory card you are using not all of Mapsources U.S. Topo will go on your GPSr - it contains in excess of 5,000 map segments. Edit: After taking another look at your OP I realize you are probably only talking about the U.S. Topo for the Eastern U.S. Same still applies you are exceeding the 2025 map segment limit.

+shawhh Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 thanks for the information. perhaps someday they'll do away with the limit. -harry Quote Link to comment
