When mapsets are transfered to a Garmin GPS, the
previously loaded mapsets are erased. GPS units with
low memory capability are limited to only a few small
mapsets. A great additional feature to GPilotS would be
a means to store Garmin mapsets on a SD card. The
mapsets could then be pulled individually when needed.
The number of mapsets would only be limited by the
size of the SD card.

There is a program on the internet that was written to do
just what I suggest. However, the transfer function did
not work with my Palm m130 and OS 4.1. A fatal error
and reset occurred when transfering mapsets from the
SD card. The author of the software could not solve the
problem.
See http://gps.chrisb.org/en/main.htm for details.

I know Christian solved a fatal error bug with his
program. Perhaps a colaboration would be possible.
