Tina,
Yes, it is possible to use your existing card, delete the files and load the
new 5.0 data. Please nbe sure to save your User,poi file and any routes
created using 4.22 or earlier (only if you wish to use them under 5.0) and
convert them using a set of instructions, which I will write up as there are
no instructions available or tutorial for using the Route or POI Converter.
Kevin

Can I just use my existing cf card, delete the maps currently in it and just
put the new ones in there?
