Hi all.

I've recently got my hands on maps for Spain and Portugal on a 256mb micro sd card ready for an upcoming holiday.

I have two questions; firstly, can I safely put these maps and my UK maps together on one 1gb micro sd card to save faffing around with multiple micrscopic sd cards? If so, do I need to do anything in particular or do I simply drag and drop all files from the computer into the sd card via my card reader?

Secondly, does anyone know where I can download POIs for Spain, such as tourist attractions, speed cameras, where to eat, etc?
I searched this site but didnt come accross any. Then again I'm fairly new to this and dont really know what I should be looking for.

Many thanks

RG_Toad,
Unfortuantely you won't be able to copy all your maps onto a larger card as the copy protection will render the maps unusable. You will probably only get base-maps.

Plug in your Spanish card and turn GPS off and tell it you're in Spain somewhere by using 'set location' option. Then use the 'find nearby' option and I expect that you'll have many POI's already on the Spanish mapping, like you do on your UK one. You may well not have any speed cams.
