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.
