Title: Download Speed solved
Product review: I've used many other GPS units. I decided I wanted one of my own and set out to get the best. I believe I have succeeded. The Magellan Meridian Marine rocks. I wouldn't have written a review except that I had seen some people comment that they liked everything except for the download speeds when sending map info to the unit. I own the SimpleTech FlashLink reader/writer (STI-UMSD100). I know there are a bunch of others out there from Sandisk, Panasonic, Microtech Zio, Hagiwara and others. Anyway...instead of creeping along at serial interface speeds, these drives can increase your transfers by 30x to 50x. Also note the speed ratings of your media...some are much faster than others. Now the MapSend Topo maps get there quick! See the MagellanGPS site for the tweak to use a SD card in a reader.
