[gps-talkusers] Re: e: Re: A newbie with a problem finding a poi I know is there

Sue, 

I actually have the entire United States loaded onto my CompactFlash card
but mainly just have the California loaded at any one given time but have
three other folderss: maps1west, maps2central and maps3east where it divides
the entire United States into three separate regions.

I was wondering if you have both the California and Nevada maps loaded?
