The ability and power of the GPS processor would impose a limit at some point also.
Another is a matter of transfer speed, especially when using the GPS as the loader/reader of data through USB connections; which are still rather slow compared to direct transfer from HD to memory card.

I was using a card reader to transfer the data then install it into the GPS and for some reason it wouldn't load go past the startup screen when I truned it on. I assumed it was because it was struggling to load the maps.
