Well now isn't that special.... So I am forced to buy the updated
database so I can have it on my larger chip?



Mike,

I am 99% sure that your statement is correct.

The level of detail in the base map should be sufficient for aviation.
Thus, I would not worry about the limited amount of maps that you are able
to download to the 32 meg card with the aviation data. For flying, clutter
is generally more of a problem than lack with detail.

Next time you update the aviation database, I would load it to the 256 meg
card. For other uses, you will want the more detailed Map Create maps.
Unfortunately, you will have to switch SD cards to take advantage of them if
you use the 256 meg card.

Thus, the 32 meg should be fine for flying and you can load the non-aviation
maps onto the other SD card.

You might want to take 5 mb and put these maps on the aviation card:
