The whole U.S. will not fit on a so-called 5 GB microdrive. It turns out
that the maps are bigger and the 5 GB drives are more like 4.8 GB or some
such number.
There is a list of states arranged by region in the ReadMe file. You can
comfortably get about 5 or 6 out of 7 of the segments on the 5 GB drive.
Also, note that a full compliment of 12 maps or even 8 or 9 maps, will slow
down access times and possibly cause some lock-ups.
Be aware too that Look Around mode looks for intersections in addition to
POIs. This too will slow things down. If you aren't using Look-Around, turn
it off with Chord M.
