What is the best location to have your data

What is the best location to have your data?
Is it on the Garmin or SD card?

Maps sets

I have both a 1400 and a 760, On both units I run the topo (two sets) maps from a SD card. From memory when I set the 760 up there was not enough space and I just followed the same structure with the 1400, Wanted to leave room on the device for POI and other files.

SD Card

When the maps are running off the SD card I can not detect and speed difference in loading, tracking etc than if I were using the main Garmin map

I would prefer a 4GB MMC card


You put all of data to the memory card, then what is put on the unit? If nothing, the big space left is too waste.

Memory cards

Can you use a memory card with the custom poi on it in another Garmin GPS

Good idea, but, after putting some photos on a card in the new 3590, they were very slow to display, so think it may be better to instal to internal memory. 4gig cards are only a few dollars these days so I use separate cards for each GPS.
