I'm trying to put a useful number of maps on a 1GB flash card for my
2610 (Germany, Benelux, Switzerland, large parts of France, all of
the UK and bits of Austria and Italy - all in all about 950MB
worth) and before it actually writes the maps to the card it builds
an 'index'.
Which seems to take at least one hour. Granted, the machine is not
that fast (Athlon XP2800 w/ 1GB of RAM) but this seems to be

Via a card reader. I don't really want to know how long these transfers
would take via the 'direct' connection on the 2610.
It's not the transfer itself, it's the building of the 'index'
