SD card question

[GPS_fan]

Could somebody please remind me how to format and setup an SD card for use with a Mio

It's a while since I've done it and the manuals are next to useless in this area.

For example, if I put additional maps onto an SD card, do I simply format the card and put the .fbl map files into a directory called 'Maps' or do I do it differently? Is there a directory/sub-directory hierarchy?

The manual simply shows you how to insert an SD card and doesn't give any help as to how to prepare the card.

It depends on how big your sd card is. But my advice is to format FAT32 at first if your card is bigger than 1Gb. If 1 Gb or smaller you might try FAT.

For possible directory structure see:

Look at the bottom of the page. There are different ways described, because some people claim that not all methods work for them.
So i listed all possible methods.

Thanks Morkin.

Does anybody know the difference between the greatbritainppc.fbl and greatbritain7ppc.fbl maps - other than the file size, of course

The 7ppc version has the 7-digit zip code in it.
