Hey, I thought that converter was supposed to be easy! I was going crazy trying to find instructions for that on the Sendero website and in the GPS manual. Thanks much Kevin! Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Chao" <kevinchao89@xxxxxxxxx>

Tina,Yes, it is possible to use your existing card, delete the files and load thenew 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) andconvert 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 -----Original Message----- From: gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gps-talkusers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tina B.

You can't have another folder under that or the maps won't be found. So your directory should look like Compact Flash/Maps/ then all the files for the state/province or region you want. For example with the state of Alabama Compact Flash/Maps/Alabama-2008.rmf Compact Flash/Maps/Alabama.cty Compact Flash/Maps/Alabama-2008.tmb Compact Flash/Maps/Alabama-2008.str Compact Flash/Maps/2008_poi_alabama_core.pdb Compact Flash/Maps/2008_poi_alabama_core.rmf Compact Flash/Maps/2008_poi_alabama_bonus.pdb Compact Flash/Maps/2008_poi_alabama_bonus.rmf Hope this helps Charles.
