Tissue would not be a good idea, if you're worried about protecting it from
static; static electricity collects on non-conducting materials, paper
included. Maybe a hand-made pouch made from aluminum foil :-)

I just picked up a 2 GB card for my 60 CSx and I've got a few questions.

My plan is to load as much of the U.S. as possible from Mapsource onto the
2 GB card and leave it in the GPSr.  I'll keep the 64 MB card that came with
the GPSr as a backup.  For example, I might put TOPO for a specific area on
the 64 MB card.

Once I'm out in the field, can I swap cards on the run without loosing my
other stored info such as waypoints, routes, tracks, information stored in
the calendar, etc.?

Also, when I store the 64 MB card, do I need to take any precautions to
keep it from degrading?  I was planning on wrapping it in tissue to keep it
safe from static, put the tissue in a small ziplock to protect it from
humidity, and then keep it at room temperature.  Is this good, bad,
overkill, insufficient....?   What's the best way to store a memory card?

Hope you're all having a great holiday weekend and finding lots of
caches.  I'm power washing and re-sealing my siding and decks.   Anybody
want to trade places?

Thanks in advance for the help.  I'll check back later.  My deck is
calling me.
