Thought I'd reply to this and bring it back up.....has anyone tried these free maps and if so are you pleased with them? I think this probably needs to be in Hog Dogs forum.

Does anyone who has downloaded these maps live in Mississippi? If so which map is better the Mississippi Topo or the South East US?

The file is  620mb, plus around 10mb of loading software.  I would go with a 1gb card to be safe.

I have a 2gb card in mine and it has both the Texas and South Central maps loaded on it

Can you toggle between the two maps?  I live in LA, and louisiana is split between the south central and south east maps.  I currently have just the LA map loaded, but would rather do the south east and the south central maps.  Did you have to load them both at the same time on the blank card, or did you do one map then the other? 

Thanks,
David

Yes I can toggle between the two maps, but I cannot overlay one on the other.  I will have to look at it tonight to give exact directions how to switch between the two. 

I am pretty sure that when I loaded them I loaded the Texas map first, the SC USA a week later on the same card. 

Hope this helps.  Any other questions just ask.

The card goes behind the battery. You need a "micro SD" card. I bought a 2gig from radio shack for $14.

No problem.  My buddy bought a card with the map on it for $25.  If you aren't exactly tech savvy, yopu may want to go that route.  It'd be $10 well spent.

I just loaded the south central US map this morning and it's great! The micro sd card cost less than 10 dollars and it wasn't too complicated to load. (even though my wife did it for me) Wink One word of caution. Don't even try to download the map unless you have high speed internet. I had to have my wife do it at her work because we don't have dsl and it would only load a little bit and then quit.

well i'm downloading the map now, was wondering, will it show the dog tracks over the map or do you have to switch over and look at the map by its self? thanks
