[Gpsbabel-misc] OT: Meridian WP Glitch

[Beverly H. <Bev@BevHoward.com>]

This weekend was the first use of my Magellan Meridian following a 
firmware upgrade to the latest version for my unit (4.02) and the use of 
a 128 meg card containing ten or so large map regions covering about 1/3 
of the USA.

I found the hard way that using Menu/CardUtilities/ChangeMap with about 
50 waypoints loaded and several generated manually before departure and 
created enroute resulted in those generated ones disappearing after 
passing a map boundary and loading a new map region.

Solution, if you need to "change maps" for safety, save waypoints to a 
card file before executing a map change.

The behaviour is inconsistant... for example, waypoints "loaded" from a 
card file were not displaced by map changes, only the ones manually 
entered or "captured" enroute.

If you have other Magellan devices with SD cards, recommend, 
experimenting with generating a test waypoint, then changing maps and 
looking to see if the waypoint survived.
