Using The Maps/Garmin Software / Re: Reducing tile size?
November 19, 2013, 07:21:56 AM
Thanks for the replies. The area I'm hunting straddles the E5 and F5 tiles. When I attempt the map transfer, the device says free space is just under 8MB, which jives with the published specs.

The E5 tile will transfer as it comes in at 7.64mb.  Unfortunately E5 is only the very north end of where i'll be. The F5 tile is over 8mb and a no-go.

Anyways, appreciate the help but sounds like i'm stuck. Will probably get thru this season and then sell the 120 for a bigger unit or keep it as a backup radio and get something with an expansion slot.

Using The Maps/Garmin Software / Reducing tile size?
November 18, 2013, 05:16:22 PM
First off, thanks to the members out there who produce these maps. You guys are amazing. I recently purchased a Rino 120 as a second radio/map for my wife who will be accompanying me on camping/hunting trips.

Didn't realize at the time how limited the internal capacity is on this thing. Just downloaded the Arizona Topo set and have a problem. Most of the individual "tiles" are too large for the internal capacity of the device.

Was wondering if there's a way to manually scale down the area you're trying to transfer, rather than take the whole "tile". My hunting zone actually straddles two different tiles, so ideally I could select a smaller area that encompasses parts of both.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
