DCFC,
It's probably best to put the whole question in here and not rely on the forum topic as being part of your question. If it is, that is?
But sorry I don't know the answer for you.

With the screen of the i3 facing you, on the right hand side you will see the usb port. Just below that there is a recess with a 13mm long by 2mm wide slit in its base. The card is slid into there until it locks in position.

You might know already but in case you don't, you can buy cards with various european country maps already loaded on them but they cost around £90 each.

try http://www.thenavigationcompany.com/productaccessories.php?productkey=830, only found via Google search though so can't recommend one way or the other.

If thats the case your licence should allow to be loaded on to two units and if you have the unlock code you will be able to load it to any transflash card. I 512mb card costs around £15.
