The "mapdata_<REGION>" folders are compressed within the ZIP files you downloaded from Navicoretech's web site. Did you download the ZIP files? Where did you save them? Did you unzip them?

If you downloaded and unzipped the files on your tablet, then the folders are on your tablet where you unzipped them. If you downloaded and unzipped the files on your PC/Mac desktop/notebook, then the folders are there.

If you downloaded and unzipped the files on your tablet, then yes, you should be able to use File Manager to move the "mapdata_<REGION>" folders into the Map folder on your memory card.
  1. Select a "mapdata_<REGION>" folder.
  2. Open the File Manager's menu.
  3. Open the "Edit" sub-menu.
  4. Select "Copy".
  5. Open the "Map" folder on your memory card.
  6. Open the File Manager's menu.
  7. Open the "Edit" sub-menu.
  8. Select "Paste".

If, instead, you downloaded and unzipped the files on your PC/Mac desktop/notebook, then:
  1. Connect your tablet to your desktop/notebook with tablet's USB cable.
  2. Wait for your desktop/notebook to mount the memory cards in your tablet as removable drives.
  3. Use Explorer/Finder on your desktop/notebook to move the "mapdata_<REGION>" folders to "Map" on the appropriate drive.
  4. Safely unmount the removable drives using the System Tray icon/Eject/whatever is appropriate for your computer.

In either case, if the tool you use to move the "mapdata_<REGION>" folders to the "Map" folder warns that you'll be overwriting existing files, choose to go ahead with replacing the old files. You likely have some odds and ends in your Map folder from when you tried, and failed, to download maps previously. Overwriting those files is fine.
