[Az-Geocaching] Anyone using Garmin Topo 2008?

[Richard Daines]

We are flying to PHX tonight and don't have any extra micro cards to load
some of the new maps into my GPS.  I've heard they are bigger files.  With
the old Topo I have Utah, Az, NM and CO all on one chip.  I suspect that
that won't be true with this new one.  Not sure I need ready access to all
those states at one time unless I'm at the 4 Corners area...
