Mossy Oak Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 I’ve just ordered my new Meridian gold, I’ve been checking out SD cards and have read Meridian Gold does not support 128MB card. Before ordering my Meridian Gold, I downloaded the owner’s manual (PDF file); the manual only refers to 8, 16, 32, & 64 Meg cards. Reading the postings it appears that quite a few of you are using the 128MB cards. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?? Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 The Meridian will recognize a 128 meg SD card without problem. There is some issue with loading maps larger than 32 megs (or something like that) since MapSend wasn't designed to create maps that large. There is a patch to fix it... but I haven't even done that yet. I simply load several maps into my 128 meg card and switch them as needed. Plus you'll be able to save as many waypoints and routes and you can possibly imagine. Jamie Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 I have heard a few first-person accounts of successfully using 256MB cards in the Meridians (I'm still living with lots of extra space on a 64MB card). Don't get even - get odd Quote Link to comment
+geospotter Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Yeah, I still have room on my 64 MB card also. Just to give you some idea of sizes, I used MapSend Topo to save all of New England (with the exception of far northern Maine) and it's about 20 MB. Same thing for MapSend Streets, 20 MB. geospotter Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I used a 256 MB SD in my Plat with no problems...the only problem is filling it!! "Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand." Quote Link to comment
+headmj Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I am sure I saw in other posts that the upgrade to 3.12 from 3.08 resolved any issues with large SD cards. Folks are running 256 MB cards and the 512 MB cards should also run. Quote Link to comment
+skeeter-n-lucy Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Where is the patch to fix Map Send's 16 mb limit? Quote Link to comment
USN Retired Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Where is the best place to buy a card and reader? Dave Quote Link to comment
justincredible76 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 USN Retired, that depends on which unit you have, but try here: http://www.magellangps.com/en/support/products/ - Choose your GPS type - Click on Software Updates Quote Link to comment
justincredible76 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Sorry, my post was for euhbill. Quote Link to comment
+skeeter-n-lucy Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 justin, I just went there and could not find the patch. I think the problem is inside mapsend not my GPS unit... Quote Link to comment
