I never implemented the tiger download function because I have no server to host the maps. Tiger maps are fairly easy to install on the device and are available by state here.

You will need the usdir.rdm.tar.gz package (map index), the bndSB.tar.gz package (state boundaries), and whatever states you want maps for.

Simply create a directory 'roadmaps' on the root of either MMC (The default is the internal) and untar the packages into it.
In xterm this might look like-

Code:

$ cd /media/mmc2
/media/mmc2 $ mkdir roadmaps
/media/mmc2 $ cd roadmaps
/media/mmc2/roadmaps $ tar xvzf ../usdir.rdm.tar.gz
/media/mmc2/roadmaps $ tar xvzf ../bndSB.tar.gz
/media/mmc2/roadmaps $ tar xvzf ../usCA.tar.gz

The above commands assume that the tar packages are on the root of the internal MMC. The thing to remember is that you want to be in the 'roadmaps' directory when you untar, and that you need to know the path to the tar packages.

Hope this helps,
