Well, the one I usually use is older than that; but my husband bought a card reader within the last year or year and a half, and it had the same issues. But maybe I should look at a 16 gb card, and see if it does any better. Hmmm.

Peggy
From reading earlier correspondence the US maps are only 10GB. You are going 
to have to save an incredible number of POIs to fill up 6GB. I would think
that a 16GB card would be more than sufficient.
Turning to your existing card it does sound as if it is not working properly 
so I would be inclined to ask for either a replacement or your money back.
If you ask for a replacement I would think about purchasing a new card
reader as well. If your card reader is more than a year or two old then the 
chances are that it is not capable of reading the 32GB card.

Yeah, but the maps actually only are 16 gigs. I had just thought of getting everything on a 32 gig card so that I'd have extra room to put POI files on it. But if I divided the country up into regions, say maps 1, 2, and maybe 
9, on the first card, maps 3, 4, 5 on the second card, and maps 6, 7, 8 on
the third card, I could get by with 24 gigs, in other words three 8-gig
cards.

If you meant 32 gb you need 4 8 gb cards.  4*8 =32.

Well, my card was also a 32 gb Transcend.  Despite a couple

formatting

sessions, it seemed to only want to hold about 8 gigs.  Today at

work I was

talking to a guy who's kind of a computer geek, and telling him

about my

problem, and he said FAT 32 can only hold 8 gigs.  That would

explain my

problem, but that doesn't seem to be totally true, since everyone

else seems

to be able to get 32-gig cards and pop them into their card

readers and have

them work.  And we tried this card with two different card

readers, one of

which was purchased within the last year or so.  I'm just about

ready to buy

three 8-gig cards and divide the maps up among them, but I'd

really rather

have everything on one card.  I just don't want to order another

card and

not have it work, so I'm not quite sure what direction to go from

here.  If

I could find a 32-gig card locally and bring it home and try it

and they'd

take it back, I'd try again.  Or perhaps there's a setting on my

computer

that makes it not recognize big cards?  I just wish I knew how to

resolve

this.

Well then, I'd say Peggy's card is defective.

Hi,



I bought a 32 gig card a few months ago from New Egg.  It is

made by

Transcend.  It works fine in the Pk, the mPower, the Voice Sense

and the

Braille Sense Plus.

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.

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
