+Geo Boltz Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 What is the typical memory usage size for uploading maps. My SportTrak map comes w/ 4mb internal and no card slots available. How much map can actually go into 4mb space. Should I have gotten a meridian with card available? TIA GeoBoltz Quote Link to comment
+phantom4099 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 You can fit an area of LA from N34°21.770', W118°41.333' to N33°36.227', W117°44.949'. or 2,800 square miles. This is using TOPO, S&D is probaly similar, The size of the regions depend on the number of streets (if you lived in North Dakota, you could fit more square miles in than LA). Wyatt W.

+Geo Boltz Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 I was thinking of downloadin the Sequoia Natl. Forest. I doubt there are many streets, but probably a lot of other info. Just curious as to what 4 mb gets me. A question, using Topo, is it possible to cut secctions from a larger map, i.e. maybe cut out the freeway section only from LA to San Francisco, thereby eliminating unused memory eating data? Just wonderin'. Thanks for any info in advance. Quote Link to comment
+phantom4099 Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Sequoia NP will fit into aprroz 642kb. You can have four sepearate and distinct rectangular regions (as long as they fit in the space provided). The meridians allow you to save several of the 4 region sets to a SD card. Wyatt W.

+Geo Boltz Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 Thanks Wyatt. I went ahead and returned my SportTrak and ordered the Meridian Gold. For only about 50.00 diff. I might as well have the option of more memory space. Heck, I could always just buy several disks, and upload various maps to each and keep them handy. Thanks again. Jeff Quote Link to comment
