I tried sending this last night but it bounced due to the attached files.. No now I am using photobucket links...:::<br><br> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Also CO, AZ, NM, UT with a tad of bleed over into surrounding states due to the area selections, comes to
269.6 MB required. So it would depend on how large a card you have. Mine is 1GB so I have most of the Western region in Topo and Steet maps on the 60cx.</span><br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">I have found it really depends on the area in question to know which is better detail..

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...
