If by " it is available on the net " you mean you intend to download a pirate copy of the map then please do not ask here.

PGPSW has a zero tollerance policy on piracy.

Not with the map you want to install.

If you get a map from an offical source then help will be availible.

I went to the Nava nd Go site and it refered me to another site that has a message saying that they are no more supporting map downloads.
