URGENT HELP NEEDED/ EUROPEAN MAP INSTALLATION

[Deleted Member Mtn]

Going to Holland on Thursday morning and i've just decided to load up maps of the Netherlands on the GPS..
Can't do it!!!
I can't get the yellow boxes to go over to europe
Have even deleted all the uk maps so there is no question of lack of space on the data card
Both Mapsource CD's loaded and unlock code accepted....
What am I doing wrong
Its almost as if i don't have acces to the maps
Can someone advise me as where i am going wrong as i only have today to do the job..(work tomorrow 'tii 10pm and i leave a 5.30 thursday)

Assuming that you're able to highlight the UK maps OK, it sounds like you may have only installed the UK maps on your PC when you did the initial install.......

I'd try uninstalling the application completely and re-installing it- at some point (can't remember where exactly) it gives you the option of which maps to put on your PC.......select them all and then when it's all completed you should be able to select the maps that the PC didn't initially have.

(the down side is that when it's searching for places in 'find', it takes longer and comes up with all the foreign places too)

Hi Marion
Is your device being detected OK ?
Click on the 'send to device' button and 'detect device' - you may have a wrong setting on either the COM1 or USB connection depending which way you are uploading and what unit we are talking about.

Also you need to check in case there are any other units that have been connected to your PC such as PDA's or palmtops or MP3 players. Thes may well need to be disabled on the USB or COM post before you can upload.

Lastly - are you using compatible Mapsource software from the PC and on the unit ? If you have version 5 on the unit and version 6 on the PC you'll hit problems.

I'm on line now so get back with any more questions
cheers

Yup - good call Bill.....but a full reisntall shouldn't be necessary - just install the missing bits if they haven't been installed I reckon. However if the Unlock code has been accepted it would seem strange that the maps were never activated

Marion - I have just consulted with MiGSel and we think what you need to do is :

Insert Mapsource CD into you CD drive
Follow the instructions as if you were going to install .
Select ALL REGIONS when you get to the bit with the maps and FINISH.

That shoudl set you straight....if not buy a Michelin road map

Aaaaah yerse....that's it...

Couldn't remember how to add the extra areas not installed on initial set-up....could'nt see anything pointing to how to on the toolbar either, but now you've said that about putting the disc in, I remember doing that with the same problem.

Seems like she's buggered off and left us talking to ourselves
Powdering her nose no doubt.....

 

[Fanum]

Ah never mind.....

Don't you find that talking to yourself is often the only way of finding someone who makes sense anyway

OI MARION.......WAKEY WAKEY!!!!
