Hello,

After not having any luck trying to download maps directly onto my N800/OS 2008 I downloaded the map file USA_West_2007_3.tar.gz
(681MB) from Navicore to my Windows PC.

I then transferred that file into the "map" folder on my SDHC 4GB card which had the "map" etc. folders already on it and put the card into the internal slot. That's all that is on the card.

According to previous posts in this forum I believe this was the correct method.

However, the map file does not show in the Maps in device tab in the Map application.

I also tried to open the map file by selecting it and when asked which application I wanted to open it with I selected the Map application. That didn't work.

I then came across the quote below and I don't understand the part about "I used winrar to unzip the tar.gz file".

I didn't think that the map file that I downloaded from Navicore had to be unzipped.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
