[gps-talkusers] e: Re: sing maps copied from one CF card to another?

Hi Chris, the problem I had was that I failed to notice that the data files did not copy using the Mpower's copy command. Funny thing is though, that I marked all files with the 2 3 4 6 dots and enter. I guess because I had not issued the command to show all including hidden files before marking all files, the data files still did not copy. Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim,



The below paragraph is taken directly from the 6.0 manual.
5. Paste them into the appropriate directory on the Compact 
Flash card,
making sure you get all files associated with a particular map. 
For

example, California has 8
files, 1 RMF file for each of the 6 state sections and 2 database 
files used during
an address lookup. One database is used when performing a City 
Lookup and the other
is used when searching by zip/postal codes. For example 
California_1.rmf California.cdb
and California.zdb. Note: when viewing the files in your map 
folder using the BrailleNote,
you may need to change the BrailleNote to display all files 
including hidden as the
BrailleNote hides database files by default. For more 
information on viewing hidden

files, please refer to the BrailleNote's user guide.



Hope this helps.
Chris

Questions about copying and moving maps.  I have copied a number
of states to my CF card and some to another smaller one.  Using
my Mpower, I copied the Missouri map from my alternate card to
the CF card with the maps folder in it.  I copied all Missouri
files into the map folder.  They were not in a separate Missouri
folder. Opening GPS, when I tried to point the city selection 
to

Missouri it only found California and Hawaii, the only other two
states currently in my map folder.  Yet, when I chose the
Missouri map on the other CF card from the Gps options, the map
opened fine, just without the commercial and user POI's because
they were not in that folder.  So why wouldn't the GPS system
open the Missouri map in the map folder? Could the Missouri 
files

have gotten corrupted when copying them from one CF card to the
other in my Mpower? I wouldn't think so, but it's a riddle I
can't solve.  Any suggestions?  Thanks, Jim
