    Some advise to those of you that try to load all 20 maps on a GPS (Etrex, Oregon, 60/62 etc.):

    There is a limit to the amount of maps (different FID's) that can be used, on my 62s the limit is 16 maps (basemap included) and that's for internal memory + SD card. So you can only load 15 of these maps, the 16th map won't be dispalyed in the map-setup menu and is not loaded. If you really need all 20 maps just use 2 SD cards.

    I think it more depend on amount of total subfile in all maps. All Garmin have different limit for total subfile amount. NT format is more progressive in aspect of size ratio. But this maps is in old format and I am remember what there was special utility to merging small map to more big for decrease maps segment quantity.
