$9.88 for sandisk 2 gb at wal_mart 3 days ago.

thanks once again for the replies....my understanding of how things work is slowly increasing...my hands on starts tomorrow.
yep,night of the 21st at bright angel camp ground..about 1/2 a mile from phantom ranch...requests for equine passage ...4 months in advance....you have to sleep with your horse [you know what i mean !!] only 6 ponies allowed at campsite per night...i do have a steak dinner and breakfast paid for at the ranch  .

thanks for the replies so far....have more ?? !   ......   so when you download from mapsource to a card,does a segment zoomed map.....like to 1/2 a mile ....is that what downloads to a card [already zoomed] or does the whole segment download unzoomed and you zoom with a zoom on your gps? ............another ?  ..........   you know,if you put your mouse on a zoomed map and left click,you can demarcate an area [say either side of a trail]........is it possible just to get that part downloaded to a card and not the whole segment ?
the area i'll be doin as soon as the monsoons let up is from the north rim to just before you drop off the plateau down to the utah border [rim to rim gonna happen sept.21].....that is where the az trail is nicely depicted. have since found checking out the AZ topo that there are large gaps in the  trail further south.

 my new vista hcx coming in the mail next week....upgrading from a 10 yr old etrex summit !!! i have downloaded the ARIZONA 24k southwest topos to my computer and i see how nicely the arizona trail is depicted on it.....have bought a 2gb micro sd card and card reader from walmart.....is that big enough to download the whole AZ download to the new gps ??  gonna be a real learning curve for me cos i have never ventured much more than emailing on a computer...
