[gps-talkusers] Re: Loading multiple maps

Thanks Mike and Liam ... in directory mode one can access the files in the 
regional subdirectories but not in folders mode.  I have 287Mb free on the FC 
which is slightly less than I need to copy both southern and east england into 
one folder.

I need more storage space anyway so would appreciate suggestions as to what to 
buy.

To date I only used BrailleNote for word processing/note taking.  However it 
now has much more functionality and I'll particularly use WiFi access when 
travelling.

Thanks for your help.
