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

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
