Hello Jay and others, Please remember that there is a limit to the number of maps which BrailleNote GPS can have loaded and operational at once. At this time, it is not possible to load and use all of the state maps simultaneously. When using a 5 gig card, my suggestion would be to divide your maps in-between two folders. One would be your active maps folder, defined under GPS options, which GPS would check and load maps from upon startup. The second would be a backup or holding folder where you store maps not currently in use. In this way, state maps can be moved back and forth between your active and storage folder as required, and your system is not unnecessarily slowed down by having too many maps in use at one time.

About the maps, they come on 7 Cd's and the state where you live comes on a compact flash card. What I am doing is buying a 5 gig hard drive to download the maps on. This will give me the whole country at my fingertips. I hope this answers your question.
