I am having trouble loading TT 5 maps to my SD card.
I tried loading France Plus map which is supposed to be 346Mb. onto a 512 Mb Sd card. Received message "The disk in destination drive is full. Insert a new disk to continue"
I could not understand why but I tried loading to a different 512 Mb disk, and then tried a 1Gb disk, but keep getting the same message.
Can anyone help please. _________________ Slow Learner |

Are these SD cards freshly formatted or have they been used before? There may be some fragments of old files left that occupy space. If you can, reformat the card and try again. _________________ Lutz

The 512 Mb disk had been used before so I re-formated it, it made no difference. The 1 Gb disk was a new disk and when I put it into my iPaq 3950 it asked if I wanted to format it to suit the system, after formatting I tried loading France Plus map, I got the message. I have just re-formatted it once more, using " Storage Tools" but with same result. It gets to approx the same place ie "10 secs left" before displaying the message. Could it be that it has a "Traffic" section on the France-Plus map and I am not signed up for "Traffic".
Perhaps I am clutching at straws but the only maps I have been able to load are UK, and Benelux. _________________ Slow Learner |

I have both France_Plus and GB on a 1GB CF card. Disk space shouldn't be a problem.
Does your PDA support that size of card properly? What does it say is the card capacity, and free space? |

The 512 Mb card shows 489Mb Free, the 1Gb shows 975 Mb free.
I have used the 512 Mb card before with TT3 maps on with no problems.
The 1Gb card is new and I only tried that one when I could not get the 386 Mb France-Plus map on to the 512Mb card.

Thanks for everyones help, Brief summary of actions and results.
Changed from loading maps from machine running Win 98 to one running XP. Succesful download to card in card reader with no problems, however loading card int PDA and TT said "No maps found" Rubbish on storage card.
Loaded maps to storage card in PDA via Active Sync, slow but succesfull.
Changed card reader, succesful loading to card reader and the maps were there.
