Myths myt not, about Custom maps

[+jlw82]

Gah! What happend to the topic? Should been "Myths I've heard about Custom maps"! Maybe a mod can fix?

 

Going to get a Garmin 62s, to replace my iPhone 3GS for Geocaching and as a Saftey-net when I'm in the deep forest and collecting eatable mushrooms. Mmmm

 

The only thing that worried me is Maps! I cant afford buying maps, but I have found that Custom maps works great if I use Atalas Creator. Buuuuuut, I read somewhere you can only have ONE custom map with 100 tiles at the time, in the gps unit. Is that true? That would be a BIG drawback for me. IF i an load many Custom maps with each 100 tiles it would be great.

 

Any one can confirm how it is?

FACT you can have as many custom maps on your garmin but you are allowed a maximum of 100 tiles total.

 

so you can have 1 map of 100 tiles or 2 maps at 50 tiles each ect.......
