[pct-l] maps & software for Garmin & Mac

[Tortoise]

Hi Yoshihiro,

I downloaded the file then copied it to a SanDisk 4GB microSDHC card.
I inserted the card into my GPS, but I cannot get the map to load.
I don't know where the problem is.
I've written Garmin asking if my GPS can use the SDHC cards, but not answer 
yet.

Anyone have any insights?
