[pct-l] Using a GPS

[Eugene]

I just wanted to give a little update.

Using an 8 gig mini-SDHC memory card, I was able to upload the following  
maps:
	Garmin Topo US (100k) -- everything from the eastern corner of CA to the  
western tip of WA
	GPSfiledepot, California Topo Map (24k)
	GPSfiledepot, North West United States Map -- everything
	GPSfiledepot, Washington 24k Topo Map -- everything
	GPSfiledepot, Yosemite Topo Map -- everything

To do this, I had to install the beta version of Mapsource since the  
production version kept crashing.  I would highlight the section of a map,  
then use the dropdown in the upper left to pick a new map and I'd  
highlight again, and repeat until I got all the maps I wanted.  This  
resulted in 2.7 gigs of maps...you could probably go further and fit every  
map available for the PCT on an 8 gig card.  It took a few hours, but it  
successfully transferred to the memory card.  I think you have to do it  
this way to get multiple maps on a Garmin, otherwise uploading a new map  
will just overwrite the previous map.

Now I need to verify it works in my new gps. I'll post back for sure if I  
have any problems.

Unfortunately I don't know of a good free topo map for Canada, so the maps  
on the gps won't be 100%.
