[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1255619, member: 19880"] I have not (yet) found it necessary to load maps onto the SD card but I believe that day will arrive sooner rather than later. I have to wonder whether the ever-increasing size of the Garmin mapsets is their way of rendering older units (with lifetime maps) obsolete. Or, perhaps they have simply gotten lazy - memory has become so cheap and processors so fast that it is easier to let the database bloat than it is to "trim the fat" and keep it manageable. (Remembering the days of huge 10 megabyte hard drives and much less than one megabyte of RAM. Removable storage measured in kilobytes!) [/QUOTE]
