[OSM-newbies] Two questions

[John1981]

I have since bought a Sandisk Ultra II 1GB Card, which is "guaranteed" 
to work, which doesn't ;-(

I have already had to send my device back once, and know that 
StorageDepot aren't getting any more in until end of March so don't want 
to wait. The internal memory hasn't exactly failed me and have mapped 
around 5km of roads in Macclesfield in the last few days on foot with 
it, so its not all bad.

I am hoping to get the N95 8GB phone in the next few weeks (if i wait 
that long) and that can export files to GPX format so I am hoping this 
wont be too much of an issue.
