Why does MobileMapper CX display less RAM and flash memory than it from the actually has?
As with all computers, some of both the RAM and flash memory is used by the MobileMapper CX’s firmware. MobileMapper CX firmware consists of two components: a 24 MB operating system and an 8 MB “rescue image” (that is used in case the operating system is ever damaged). The operating system resides in the flash memory and is copied to the RAM memory when you turn the device on. The rescue image stays in flash, unless it is ever needed.
