Default Managing Navigation Maps on PPC?
At Christmas I bought Delorme Street Atlas 2007 and an iNet BT GPS receiver (i-Blue 737 2nd ed.)

I still not an expert on the software... but it seems tedious getting the maps of interest over to the PPC. So I wonder if someone could give tips on the most efficient way to manage map files.

For instance if I choose to export my entire home state map to a PPC file, Delorme gives me a warning that using very large files might not be a good idea. Considering this an experiment, I proceeded; the result was a file of ~ 100MB. I have not tried to use it on the PPC yet.

On the other hand, if you export a metro area map for a mid-sized city, the file might only be 3 - 6 MB.

Does anyone have any advice on the best way to go? i.e. Keep file size below X MB.

Is there some way to get large areas of the US (at least a few states) exported to PPC files without spending hours and hours at my desktop working through the process of selecting and then exporting the maps?

FYI, I am using a Dell Axim X51v with WM2003SE.

Advice from your experience is appreciated.
