[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 953044, member: 3828"] Yes, it will go in a new Garmin folder on the SD, but the MapInstall program will create it. Just be sure that all of your MP3's are all in a separate MP3 folder, not in root. It seems just as fast, maybe a touch faster when it fiirst boots up, but I had also been cleaning up other stuff (old tracklogs etc) that may have been responsible. Very good idea to have multiple SD cards made up with your Maps on them as well as a variety of MP3s. I mean heck... 1000 5 minute MP3 will only last you 83 hours, right? That's less than a week of 12 hour ride days. ;) Good point. Up till now I had always been loading just the Northeast US states onto the GPS and when I traveled I would load some more states on the SD card. Problem is that now even the Northeast states is a Gigabyte in size, making the GPS memory squeezed for space. In retrospect, I'm not sure that this is going to do everything that I said it would as for eliminating the Low Memory errors. I'm now thinking that the memory we are sending maps to is ROM (Flash Memory) and I'll bet that the GPS CPU also has some onboard RAM, which may be what it actually runs out of when we load up those big routes? Only time will tell. edit - I have had time, and it does seem to resolve all the Low Memory errors. [/QUOTE]
