Well, my husband found two 8 gig compact flash cards at Office Max, so I'm copying the maps to them for now. I have regions 1 through 5 on the first card, and now I'm region 7 on the second card, so I'm getting there.

Yeah, that's how I use my cf cards.  I almost never use the back

slot.

You mean like a PCMCIA card?  I don't think they make those

anymore, do

they?

The thing about a thumb drive that concerns me is that it would

be sticking

out of the BrailleNote and could get bumped.

I suppose I could get a 16 gb card instead of a 32;  but I was

thinking I

wanted to make sure and have room for poi files too, and I know a

lot of

people have used 32 gig cards successfully.  I just wonder if

there's

something I need to double check on in the descriptions of cards.

Peggy,



It's possible that you just got a defective card.  It rarely

happens, but

it's still a possibility.  Would it be possible to fit all the

maps you

want on a 16GB card?  I don't know if there's a size limit on

cards the

M-Power can handle.  You might also consider keeping your maps

on a flash

drive.



Steve

Hi, all.  Well, I'm sending my card back to Newegg for a refund.

I've

had good luck with them in the past, and I still don't know what

was

wrong this time.  Someone suggested that perhaps my card reader

can't

read high capacity cards, and that I should get a new card

reader.  But

we tried it on two separate readers, with the same results.  If

anyone

discovers a specific card model that works with the BrailleNote

for

storing GPS maps, I'd love it if you could either post the link

to the

card, or e-mail me privately.  I really want to get all the maps

for this



version loaded.



Peggy <still wondering why this card wouldn't work, and whether

I ordered



the wrong thing, and how I can get the right thing
