Colorado map tile limit, is this classified information?

[gallet]

It's going to take me a week to load up my Colorado because I need to fill it to the max but no one knows what this number is. It's over 4000 and probably under 4500.

 

I don't understand that Garmin can give a precise number of max tiles for the eTrex of 2025 but they can't give a number for the Colorado. Why. I've discovered that if I go over the limit on the external card then the colorado will trash my internal loaded maps permanently. But as I don't know what this magic number is and I need to get as much on as I can, and retransferring to the internal memory is at usb 1.1 speeds, so to creep up to the limit and back down by one tile, is going to take a long time.

 

What I'd rather do is fill the internal memory with what I want and then fill the SD card, unfortunately the SD card took 8 hours to load, so building up to the limit will take me some years.

Use a SD card reader instead of using the unit to send the map to. Then you can do it at USB 2.0. As for the segments, have no idea except the estimates of 4000-5000.
