What size card did you go too? 2 gig now and I've got maybe 25 songs on it maxed out.

wtf size songs are you putting on it to kill a 2 gig card with 25 songs? Or is that the on board memory that you killed? Yeah, you can barely fit the map on the zumo, so there is no room for mp3 files.

I had an extra 8 gig card lying around, so that is what I use.

This is a very very important lesson that you need to learn right now.

in your MP3 folder on your card, don't put all your songs in one folder. It will take two years to load up the songs. Put a maximum of 15 songs in seperate folders.

For example I have L:\MP3\ empty

L:\MP3\MISC 1\ - has 15 songs in it
L:\MP3\MISC 2\ - has 15 songs in it
and so on.

I don't know why, but for some reason if I put all my songs in one directory the damn thing freaks out and takes 15 mins to start playing songs. This way, it only takes 30 seconds or so. It won't do mapping unless it's done loading either.

Damn..THATS good to know!

Thanks

Also...what speaker/mic are you using? Starcoms?

I've got the spare Autocom system for the bike I bought from Brian before he died....but not the helmet setup...debating on buying their speaker/mic setup JUST for rider/passenger communications

I went with Starcom1 Digital because they are a little bit cheaper than Autocom equilavent and their cables. It doesn't really matter which one because they are both about the same as far as quality and you can get two way radios, so you can talk to starcoms or autocoms. Since you already got autocom, just buy a headset and cable to hook up the zumo.
