night2u Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi all. My csx is being delivered tomorrow and I am wondering what is the biggest memory card I can get for it. I like to have all the maps in on place. Secondly can anyone tell me how big City navigator North America and Topo Canada are? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Gamma68 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Hi all. My csx is being delivered tomorrow and I am wondering what is the biggest memory card I can get for it. I like to have all the maps in on place. Secondly can anyone tell me how big City navigator North America and Topo Canada are? Thanks 2GB card is effectively the largest you can use. City Navigator North America NT about 1GB. The version of Topo Canada that I have would use 3.8GB for all of Canada, so would need at least two memory cards for everything.

night2u Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Thanks, I didn't want to waste money on a card that wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment
+jerold222 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 make sure you know to order the mini card and not a standard SD card Quote Link to comment
night2u Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yeah, micro sd, I could find that on the garmin site, just not the biggest size it would accept. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Gamma68 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You don't have to use the complete contents of a map package, you can for example put the road maps for just Canada and then pick the topo map areas that you would anticipate needing and put it on one memory card. Quote Link to comment
dogwalkers2 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You're also limited to the 2025 map segments, so you wouldn't be able to fit all of Topo Canada on in anyway - it has 7316 map segments, including the high Arctic, 5408 of these are south of 60N. For what it's worth, to give you an idea of how much might fit for your combination, I've got all of CityNav NT 2008 (Canada and the US) and Topo Canada from about the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border to the East Coast, south of about 50N (55N in Manitoba), amounting to 1468 map segments and 1509.1 MB. This doesn't include Newfoundland. I could almost add as far west as Calgary/Edmonton from 49N to 55N and make it in under the 2025 segment limit. Newfoundland (not including Labrador) would add about another 200 segments. Quote Link to comment
