Almost, you can certainly format a USB drive greater than 4GB using FAT32 even up and beyond 32/64GB. Where beardycub86 hit the post is the maximum file size on said formatted drive is 4GB.
Therefore you should be able to put all the components/files of a Nav update on a FAT32 drive as when you look in the folder structure no single file is larger than that 4GB (if I remember correctly).  |
Yes exactly, 32gb is usual max fat32 format size in windows but is possible to get well beyond that if crazy enough. Max file size is 4gb. Think normal fat16 max size is 4gb if remember correctly but you'd have to go out of your way to even format as fat16 and certainly don't want to...
You'll be fine with fat32, any usb stick under 32gb is usually sold pre formatted as fat32
