Thanks again Charles, that helps sort things out.
A co-worker only has a 1GB CF card, so I couldn't load the Geology stuff on
there for her.
I will suggest she get a larger card.
Other than the size issue of the files; this version is truly fantastic!
Thanks to you all at Sendero and the beta team.
Richard

Richard there are two files for each section of the GNIS data. Both
2008_poi_gnis1.pdb and 2008_poi_gnis1.rmf is needed for the system to work
correctly. So to answer you question you need all files related to GNIS1 or
GNIS2.
Thanks
Charles.
