AFAIK, the biggest microSD card that you can put into an eTrex is a 2 GB card (the bigger microSD-HC cards won't work). You can have them for less than five bucks nowadays, so go buy one. I held onto a 1 GB card since I bought an eTrex - OSM maps for Spain spend less than 50 MB of space; and the rest of the card can hold *months* worth of GPX tracks. Spain apparently is not mapped very densly. I recently downloaded not even all of Germany and got a 370MB file. But I agree: SD cards cost next to nothing, I would buy the biggest that the device can use. Regards, Maarten ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

This is for firmware 2.80. With 3.00 you can use SD-Cards up to 4GB. But it's irrelevant because you can still only use a compiled map file up to 2 GB (and 2025 map segments which is usually the more relevant number). Changes made from version 2.80 to 3.00: * Add support for maps greater than 2 GB. http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3707 ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I hadn't been keeping up (since I smashed my Vista HCx in a bike accident last month... cry) I had thought that was some sort of hardware limitation, not something that could be fixed in software. Or at the least, not something that they would fix in software for older units. I wonder if it still has the 2025 segment limitation, though.

You could use the rest of the space for tracklogs, I suppose, but that's many months or years worth of tracklogs.
