no sara please dont post the acctivation code

the map file should be at the same level on the sd card as the Great britain map

have you tried deleting the map from the sd card then reintalling the map

also could you tell me how you are putting the map on the sdcard are you just copying the file or are you sing an installer

it could be you need to show hiden files in to get the map to work

but youll have to do this on the pc before copying the file to the sd card

to do this open my documents or where ever you saved the map file to.

then in the top tool bar click tools then folder options then select the veiw tab, then scroll down and click show hidden files and folders sleect ok then then you copy the map to the sd card and it should now show up
