Alphawolf Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Is this a pretty straight forward procedure with a Meridian? I seem to remember some problems being discussed some time ago with cards of this size. These will be the street maps, not Topo. Does the Magellan software facilitate address searches and point of interest search like the Garmin Metroguide? Thanks. "Never take a sunset for granted. Stop what you are doing and enjoy it.

+embra Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 There does not seem to be any problem with the size of the card...people are reporting using up to 256MB with no problem. Problems *do* seem to enter if using too large a file. Thales advises holding the size of the file down to either 32MB or 64...can't remember which. Searches for streets or POI are quicker and easier with smaller files, too. You probably need to edit the mapsend.ini file to allow a larger file size...my recollection is that the default is 16MB. I'm not familiar with MetroGuide, so I'm not sure what to say about facilitated searches...you can do them reasonably easily in MapSend Topo and on the Meridian. Do you want to know something more specific? Max Often wrong but seldom in doubt Quote Link to comment
