There is a limit on the 60 series of 1048 maps. I work with a guy that wanted to use a GPS for (don't everyone *gasp* here) non-geocaching related traveling with topographical maps. I found this thread in the groundspeak forums for him and figured it may be of some use here too.<br>
<br><a href="http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=170615">http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=170615</a><br><br>The hard limit on the number of maps is 1048. I think it's kind of a strange number having nothing to do with 2 to the "whatever", unless you tack on an extra 24 for some strange reason. (whatever in this case being 10.)<br>
<br>So my question really is, are you really gonna need the street level maps for Maine while also needing the topo maps for AZ? <br><br>You could always get multiple memory sticks and load the particular maps, be they street level or topographical, and switch them out when you need on or the other. They're even small enough that you could even store the stick inside the battery compartment of the GPS. Last I saw, you could get 2GB sticks for about $14. The cost of the maps is a whole other story.<br>

<p>Hello everyone, <a href="http://www.geocrazy.com/" target="_blank">GeoCrazy</a> here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It has been a LONG time since I last Geocached (over a year). Been very
busy at work and family issues have prevented. I intended to get back into
things a few months ago but then I was in a really bad charter bus crash
coming back from skiing and now I'm still recovering. I am planning on
starting up again soon and that is why I am writing all of you. I trust a lot
of the same people are still on this list serve - so I think you will be able
to help me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am considering buying one of the new Garmin Colorado 300/400's. Has
anyone used one yet? And if you have would you recommend it (specifically for
Geocaching)? I have also been considering a 60CSX.... but I feel like I should
be buying the newest. What do you think?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have always been a Magellan user (have had most of the explorist series),
but I want to try something new that was designed with geocaching in mind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suggestions?</p>
<p> </p>
