I am not sure if there is a max amount of storage space that the GPS will accept from the memory card. I use a 128 meg card in mine which allows me to have street maps for all of Mich (U.P. and L.P.) all of Wisconsin and Minneapolis. I also have room for a little more for when I travel. I guess it just depends how big a memory card you want to buy. When I bought mine the MMC card that came with it was 16mb. This is enough storage space for the entire U.P. and the northern part of the Lower Peninsula of Mich.
I have had a Lowrance IFinder for about 3 years (1 year of geocaching) and it still works like it is new. The drawback to this unit is that I have to transfer all my data to the unit using either a mmc memory card. I know with other units you can connect directly to your pc using a cable. I have found that my units (my wife also has an IFinder approx 1 year old) do a great job keeping satellite lock in all geocaching situations that I have been in. I have no complaints about this, whereas I have heard complaints about other units. To be fair, I have not used any other brand unit, but that is my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
That was at Co. Line 2…GCJKEG. We looked for about a half hour, at which point my legs got really cold (at least Lynn was smart enough to where snow pants) and we were extremely tired of digging. If the coords weren’t close, there was no way we were going to find it out there. I actually tripped over a large downed tree that I couldn’t even see under all that snow. It was a blast though, and we were able to find a couple on that trip once we arrived in the Sault.
Here is a pic of me caching near Newberry, MI that my wife took of me…BEFORE the big storm came through last week. Sorry to say, we didn’t find this cache. I was wishing for a snow shovel as we were out at the site. It was definitely a fun DNF though.

Thanks for the welcome…I look forward to doing some more Wisconsin caches. You don’t have to worry about converting me to the Pack though, I have been a Packers fan as long as I can remember (which is back to about when Randy Wright was the QB)
Hi, I have been lurking here since I moved to the Upper Peninsula about a month ago (I live 40 miles from the border). I spend a lot of time at http://www.mi-geocaching.org as well as lurking here and gc.com
Great, thanks for the bit of info. We are planning on doing a few in the Eau Claire area on the way through. We will actually be driving from the Upper Peninsula on our way there and be travelling back through Illinois and Indiana, so we should see a decent portion of the state. Thanks for the help.
