Mapsource & Legend Questions?

I have a couple of questions.

 

1. I loaded up almost 8 meg of map data from MapSource into my legend and every thing looks good. When I go to \Main Menu\Setup\System\ I noticed that the Memory used was only 4%? Shouldn’t this be up near 100% or is this just the memory used for waypoints, routes and tracks?

 

2. When I am in MapSource I can easily move around to find a location that I would like to explore, is there a way to get the zip code quickly? I am trying to take that zip code back to www.geocaching.com and see if there are any caches in that area. I have noticed that MapSource does display the Lat/Lon in the status bar. Is there a spot in www.geocaching.com that lets you enter lat/lon to track down caches? I find myself now going to the web with a street address to track down a zip code.

 

All suggestions are welcome.

 

Thanks,

The 4% refers the amount of memory used by tracks, waypoints, routes, etc. It does not reflect the space used up by loading maps. (I had the same question when I loaded several mapsource Topo maps) As you have seen, you can check the size of the map file (on Mapsource) before you load it on your GPS.

 

Sorry I can't help with the zip code question ;)
