Performance issues after map condsolidation

[lucevans]

I recently consolidated my Great Britain 1:50 000 map cards ( 2 cards: North and South) and 8 1:25 000 cards onto a single SD card using Satmap's consolidation service. Initially I was very impressed with it.
However, I've just returned from a trip to Glencoe (one of the areas I had 1:25 000 mapping for), and am very disappointed in the performance of the Active 10. When viewing 1:25 000 scale mapping, zooming and panning is try fast, but when I toggled to the 1:50 000 layer of the same area (Glencoe) both zooming and panning became so slow the Active 10 was unusable.
Since getting home (another area I have a 1:25 000 custom map of on the same card) I have tested the 1:50 000 layer, and zooming and panning speeds are fine; it's just the Glencoe area which seems to be a problem.

Had anyone ever asked Satmap to "unconsolidated" their map cards? I would like to split the Whole GB 1:50 000 back onto a separate card, while keeping all my 1:25 000 (and their original 1:50 000 layers) on a separate, single card.

Any chance, do you think?

I am surprised the performance was so bad. It may be a slow/poor quality card, or one only just big enough to hold your maps. I would suggest that you have Satmap try again.

In answer to your question, I bought for 50k county maps on a consolidated card cheap from ebay. Satmap un-consolidated maps so that I could sell them individually. I got the impression that mine was the first request they had had. They actually sent me back four brand new maps in original packaaging.
