Where have you been ?
On the SD Card
Map goes in folder named /Map
JCV goes in folder named /Garmin/JCV
There are other options but lets stick to the KISS Priciple.

Whew, problem solved!![]()
I'm sorry for not catching this tiny mistake I made for not putting only the JCV folder in the Garmin folder, I originally thought the Map and JCV folder should be in the Garmin folder which causes the map not to function but the JCV does and I don't know about it.
Thank you daslivarsa, catymag and Neil for thinking ways of getting me out of this problem. I really appreciate it!
So, does it mean that only the Map folder should be outside the Garmin folder?

G'day again Ron. David's 7z file has a compressed size of 1.60 GB. When extracted, the full NA image is 2,329,477,120 bytes or 2.3 [decimal] Gigabytes. Windows will show it as 2.16 [binary] Gigabytes i.e. 2.16 GiB [Gibibytes].

Ah, caught again, Neil... I assumed it would be 1.6 GB when unzipped so it would fit on a 2GB CF card (I have a 2006 Goldwing navi, US model). I put the 2015.10 IMG file on a 4GB card and tried it on my Goldwing (currently using 2013.30) after checking it with Basecamp. The GW's navi system loaded the map to 100% and did not notify me of any problems, but when I checked the map there was no detail (streets in my town), and when I checked INFO/SYSTEM in the Menu, there was no map description shown.
So, I shut the bike off and I inserted the old map CF card with the 2013.30 map, and the details were back. So I'm assuming the navi system is limited to a file of less than 2GB.
Correct. The file must be no more than the FAT16 file size limit which is 2,147,483,647 bytes i.e. 2 [binary] GiB minus 1 byte]. As this is a unit-centric problem, i'll explain further in the Goldwing thread.

Renaming the file would not help. The pointers within the map would not match the corresponding Junction Views.
My calculator tells me that 2GB at 80kB/s would take just under 7 hours. Start the download before going to bed and you'll be a happy person when you wake up in the morning!![]()

My 14xx garmin only has 2 gigs of memory. Im stuck using maps over 1 year old since I refuse to use a micro sd card.
The question is this - is there any way to upgrade my older where-to-go search-places like atms, restaurants, museum, etc from a new mapset, or is this information hardcoded into each mapset so that to upgrade this I have to upgrade the whole map? There isn't some small file I can just grab off a new mapset and stick it with my older mapset?
