Carl W. Brooks <> scribbled on Tuesday, August 07, 2007 10:48 PM: My Navigon has the entire Europe (west + most of the eastern part) on one sd-card and navigates seamlessly between countries. Doesn't palm-solutions do this as well?
My Palm m515 with the Magellan Companion and Mapviewer OTOH, required that you cut out a bit of the whole map on your pc and transfer it to your palm-device. Is this the common way of doing it on palm-devices? With sd-cards getting bigger and bigger, I don't see why a whole map of europe, or continental US for that matter, be kept on a single sd-card. > The other reason I decided against the Treo GPS solution is that maps > are on the memory card.
