2. can I use this map on a sd card with Street pilot c510

TIA

1. This is a Torrent terminology. Seeders are the ones who provide data for leechers (downloaders). After downloading the file, it would be nice if you seed it for others to download as well. Without seeders, there is no download. The "ratio" column in your torrent application will show you the ratio between what you've seeded and what you've downloaded. For instance: 2.000 means you've seeded twice as much as you've downloaded. It is preferred you seed at least the same amount as what you've downloaded (= ratio 1.000).

2. The StreetPilot c510 is, as suspected by pietu, only suitable for navigation files (gmapsupp.img or gmapprom.img) of max 2 GB. In fact, all units in the StreetPilot c5xx series are. Added info: all units in the StreetPilot c3xx series can only use memory cards up to 2 GB in size. Since a 2 GB card can only hold 1.83 GB worth of data, that means a (much) smaller navigation file than the StreetPilot c5xx units!
