I will provide a hint, the zipped up Map size from the MYSendero.com is 47MB
and this is in the US.

Thanks,

That one worked fine, though I do not have the map for that area.  
At least the numbers stayed the same instead of changing like they did for
me Wednesday.  Strange.

Have a great day,
Alex
