Memory on eTrex Vista

[+admo1972]

The Vista has 24MB of memory in it for maps. So, as I understand it, as long as my selected maps in Mapsource is 24MB or under, I am fine. I also think, and correct me if I am wrong, that this 24MB is completely separate from memory used to store waypoints, tracks, and routes.

 

I am basing this on the fact that I transfered maps totalling about 23MB to my vista, but the "memory used" stat in the Main menu says 7%.

 

Is all this correct?

That's right. Your Vista holds 1000 waypoints and up to 24MB of maps. I'm not sure how the Tracks fit in there, but on my Vista C, several days worth of hikes are still in the Track log when I upload it to my Mapsource maps.

I think the waypoint memeory and track memory is separate...

Yes, the waypoints, tracks and routes are stored in their part of the memory. The 8 MB basemap and your 24 MB of user maps are stored in another 32 MB memory.
