When comparing my old Street pilot 2720 to the new 885T I notice I lose the ability to store 1500 way points and 40 routes. The 885T has 500 and 10 respectively.

What is the internal memory capacity of each unit without the micro SD card?

Will the Micro SD card gain this storage capacity back? I'm thinking it will not.

How many POI will each unit hold? Is the POI storage micro SD size limited on the 885T?

I want blue tooth hands free and MSN direct but I'm worried I am going to loose too much storage space. Is my fear unfounded since I can get up to a 32gig memory stick? Will a 2 or 8 gig be fine for most uses?

I have over 8000 POI entries in my 2720 GPS now. How many can I fit in the 885T and just how many can I fit in the 2720?

What size memory stick is needed to facilitate the entire mapsource USGS topo map to be loaded in the 885T. Can I get enough room to add the mapsource Waterways and lights too?

Thanks in advance

I spoke to a Garmin tech person about POIs etc. I also asked about new Garmin units. It was pretty clear that as long as the 2720 was working properly, I should keep it. It was also explained that the POIs take very very little space. Not a concern for the 2720.
I don't know about the topo map.
