Re: MapSource Topo 2008 downloading maps question

It is generally true that all downloads overwrite previous downloads regardless of the size. Collect all your maps in one set and download them all at once.

I have a 60CSx with a 2GB card with MapSource 2008 Topo.

I noticed that you can load only 2025 maps at one time.
That seems to be a limit imposed by MapSource topo 2008.


I can load the entire east coast, up to say Kentucky, about 2,000
maps which take 940MB. That works fine. That should be only
about 50% of my card's capacity.

Now when I go to load another 2000 maps or another 1 GB (say midwest
to Colorado), it overrides what I just downloaded, and when I look at
the maps on the device, I no longer have the east coast.
It writes them on top of the previously downloaded devices.

So it seems my restriction is not 2GB but 2025 maps, which work
out too less than 1GB.

Please help, how can I download the entire 2GB of maps?

Is this a firmware issue?
