But what happens when you get dropped out of the back of a plane in the
middle of nowhere with your GPS (but it has to be somewhere in North
America, because you don't have the maps on your GPS for anywhere else).
You're really gonna wish you had all those maps so you know just how far
it's gonna be to civilization... 'cause you know, that just happened to me
last week.
Actually, that is a really great point about the more maps you load the
slower it gets.
Since the price of MicroSD cards are really cheap, you could put different
map regions on difference cards as you suggested. And you could probably
tape them down inside the battery panel on the GPS so you don't lose them.
