Loading maps automagically overwrites the maps present. So, just select a map set and make sure its not over 243MB in size. |

That is exactly why I went back from a Q2 to a Q1 (could have gone for a Nuvi, but need the tracklog, could have gone for a Zum, but it's too simple, and a 278 is to large). |

Since the Quest 1 and Quest 2 are based on the same processor platform, loading Q2 firmware on a Q1 would (if you could get it off!) probably result in a very slow Q1 with only 243MB of memory... |

No. The Quest 1 is not compatible with the NT maps, only the normal maps. |

The basemap is the crude non-detailed map you see when there are no detailed maps loaded. You might check Iceland, Morocco or any african country. ;)
City Navigator maps are preloaded *detailed* ma ... |

The v9 update for the Q2 will overwrite the preloaded v8 maps. This might decrease the free memory for loading other maps (as has happened in the states). |

Deduction: on external power it runs okay, on battery power it doesn't. ;) You could also try to boot the Quest on external power and remove the external power when it's working, just to see if it's a ... |

The Q2 runs uncompressed CS7 maps without any special firmware. But (as I've tested it) since firmware 2.6 there is no big difference between CN8NT and CS7 performance on a Q2. |

There are *two* places the maps can be unlocked: on the computer (i.e. in Mapsource) and on the GPS receiver.
For unlocking on the computer (where you got the popup window) *any* valid unlock code ... |
