Kevin,I think there may be a 4GB limit in FAT32 for any one file, but the size limit for a drive is well beyond that and not relevant here.Steve----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Chao" <kevinchao89@xxxxxxxxx>To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 23:13 Subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: More card questionsPeggy,The statement about FAT32 only supporting up to 8GB isn't true as there are hard drives, both internal and external that use FAT32. There is a limit that FAT32 supports, but it is much larger than 8GB as I have a 120GB thatis formatted FAT32.What Operating System are you running? If XP or lower, I would check to ensure that you have the latest drivers and updates from Microsoft and themanufacture of your computer.

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 resolvethis.

It rarely happens,butit's still a possibility. Would it be possible to fit all the maps youwant on a 16GB CARD? I don't know if there's a size limit on cards the M-Powercan handle. You might also consider keeping your maps on a flash drive.Steve----- Original Message ----- From: "Peggy Kern" <kernsac@xxxxxxxxx>To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 22:30 Subject: [gps-talkusers] More card questions> Hi, all.
