GPS & Digital Data Discussion / Re: ACA Maps on my Garmin Edge 1000

I recd a message from Garmin and was advised that the Edge 1000 has all the bike maps for the US and no other maps are needed. I imagine the ACA maps may take you different ways.

I recently road to Julian from San Diego and the Edge did take me a way I had never taken before and had much less traffic. That said, I imagine the ACA maps will show the service areas like the paper maps.

GPS & Digital Data Discussion / ACA Maps on my Garmin Edge 1000

HI Folks,
 I am planning on doing the Southern Tier next year and aside from the ACA maps I also purchased the digital download for my Garmin Edge 1000, which I am slowly getting accustomed to. I was reading about its limitations on the forum and was concerned. I loaded the maps onto a micro SD card, but didn't know how to bring them up  on the GPS. I called Garmin and they said I would have no problem loading all the required maps on the internal memory. I loaded them onto New Files and then they went over to courses on the device. Does this sound about right. Not sure how the 200 waypoint limitation comes into play.
Thank you
Tom
