Hi Joris & Ticker,

Again thanks a lot for taking time to help me.

Google on the map maximum size, I've found this (
https://www.garminworldmaps.com/how-to-install/garmin-card-size/):

"The unit is reading from the memory card up to 4GB of map files. Is the
map bigger than 4GB the unit cannot read the maps. Any further capacity on
the SD card, depending on the device, can be used for other maps, pictures,
MP3 files and track logs. If the map on the memory card contains more than
2025 map tiles, the device cannot read the data, even if the map size is
less than 4GB."

So the 2G shouldn't be a problem.

I'm pretty sure that the problem is linked to the 66s. On my 64s, I've no
such issue. But as I said, as all tiles are present when I zoom in, it's
not a problem for me. I can live with that.

One last question, is there a good documentation about the style syntax ? I
would like to remove some details from my map (like the buildings but
keeping housenumber) but I don't know how to do that.

Thanks again,
Pierre
