Change to 16gb card 32 & 64 cards too much un-used storage

Remove your sd card from handheld, hook alpha back up to basecamp, go to "file" & transfer the internal birdseye files (maps) from handheld to "my collection"
Now, l would format the sd card before putting it back in the alpha
Now go to basecamp top taskbar & click birdseye, do not make any more maps, your collection should have the maps you have from the handheld
Choose map & file & transfer map to storage not handheld device
If all you are trying to do is view & transfer older maps, l have never tried to load them back to the handheld storage from the sd card, but you can view & download to computer via basecamp

i've seen not get to get over a 32GB card for the alpha d/k if it will make a diff or not. i've got one hook it up to basecamp and it shows up under the alpha belwo the maps stuff, i then select what birdseye i want to send to then just select the map card from that selection.

Use 16gb card
32 & 64 cards slows down Astro & Alpha
"Garmin disagrees with this"
I proved the slow reaction (My Alpha) to Garmin techs at Autumn Oaks
