So I just cost myself 2 hours of scratching my head and searching the web...

I have a trip to Europe coming up and thought it would be useful to have CN Europe on it.

I'm not a complete n00b, I've (successfully) used my wee gadget before, copying the files I needed onto the SD...

However this time, I had to buy a new SD card because the biggest I had was 2GB - and when it simply didn't work (new maps didn't show up on the device) was when the head scratching started...

So the very simple and quick tip is - don't do what I did and dump the file in the root of your new SD card - REMEMBER the blasted naming conventions for your maps (in a directory called Garmin) and you'll save yourself a load of time...

I won't pretend I remembered by myself - here's a link to the naming conventions for those whose memories are similarly afflicted.
