Does anyone know how big the map files for this are approx? I'm looking for
a gps program I can load on a SD or CF card for my hx2410 ipaq. The SD cards
are 1 gig on it. Thank you in advance
Dave

I used Navigator 5 in the past, when I was looking at upgrading to
Navigator 6, it was going to require a 2GB card to hold most or all of
the North American mapping.

In 5, the mapping was contained in several regional folders and a major
roads folder and you could only use one folder at a time and could not
map or route across folders. In 6 that was changed so that all the
mapping data was in one one folder.

Guys,

FYI... I have TT6 North America and Canada maps loaded on a 1 gb SD card
with about 80 mb to spare using an iPAQ 1945, works great.

Thank you Jack. That's a large card. Maybe the 5 would be a better system
for what I'm going to do so long as the maps are fairly up to date.
