GARMIN kmz export view total of 100 tile limit for all maps ??
« on: November 27, 2009, 03:38:17 PM »
So I'm using v3.95 on my oregon (latest firmware).
I create a nice custom view in TF and keep it less than 100 tiles.
export to the custom maps folder on the Oregon and it works great.

I do  different map in a different location
same as the above (different file name)
and it wont display.

I'm I correct in assuming that there is a 100 tile limit total for all the maps in the custommaps folder ?

thank you

You are correct, there is a 100 tile limit for the entire GPS.  Hopefully that limit is either increased or a method of turning on/off maps is introduced.

I am wondering whether 100 tiles will always be the limit. By way of example, I used TF to create a 135 tile KMZ and loaded it into Google Earth. It worked, but navigating/manipulation was VERY slow on my desktop machine. It may be that the Colorado/Oregon/Dakota units will simply choke on more data. I hope that is not the case.

Sluggishness:
You may want to check the size of the tiles, this may make a difference. I noticed that when I loaded tiles using Google Earth but TF allows you much better control over tiles, thanks Scott!
