Hi, Kevin and all who have been trying to help me with this,
I simply could not get my head around this whole concept. But I think I've
got it. Well, almost.
I finally broke down and called Sendero for help. Chris was his usual
patient helpful self even though I think he could not understand what my
problem was. Well, that's OK, because I don't know what my problem was either!
I made a folder. In that folder, I put all the POIs and maps for the states
between here and there. And, I've even created one of the routes. I did find it
odd that the gps told me it was going to be a very long route, did I truly want
to create it? (It was only about 250 miles!)
However, it seems that in my interim mistakes, I also have all that stuff
floating around loose in the maps folder. Can I delete those entries with the
specific state names in them...that is, anything that says Pennsylvania can go,
both POIs and maps, because they now all reside in the "Alice in the Northeast"
folder? And the same states and POIs still reside in their regions, right? So I
basically now have two copies on the cf card of the same maps, right?
Massachusetts (my home state) will remain floating around in the maps folder
somewhere, right? How can I see everything in that folder? Do I need the file
manager? Do I look in directory? And what are the subdirectoryies I keep
hearing about when trying to get the gps to point to the right folder?
Thanks, everybody. It took a while, but I think I've got this process sorted
out at least enough to get the route created... Road trip!

It actually doesn't matter where the files are placed, whether that is the
Maps folder or a folder of a different name. What does matter is whatever maps
and POIs you are trying to have loaded, the GPS needs to know where they are
through O for GPS Options and M for Map and POI Directory.

Yes, but they are in separate folders. You need to put the contents of each
of those separate folders into the maps folder itself. Not separate folders
inside the maps folder. there should only be files in the maps folder.

But all the maps are already on the cf card that I use with the gps. I
don't have to copy them onto the card because they're already there, right?
I did get some message about directory something or other, and I think I
just hit enter on it, which may have been a mistake. I did not understand what
it was telling me.

When you connect to your pc go to each folder, open cut and paste into the
root of the maps folder.

What I don't understand is how to do this. Each region is in a separate
folder already on the card. That's what I can't figure out...how to get more
than one region to be in the available maps folder.
Sorry, but when you stop laughing, remember my original subject line! ha ha

Rather than have separate folders for each region or state put them all
in the same folder. then it only has to look for the file.

Hi, Kevin,
All of those states are included in the northeast and id-Atlantic
regions. What I can't figure out how to do is open or download or
whatever I
have to do to those maps to make the gps able to see them. They're all
there
on the cf card, but how do I get them to be recognized? And how do I get
multiple things to be recognized so that a route that covers multiple
states
can be followed?
Thanks.
