Gday,
I'm having all kinds of issues loading new maps onto my Magellan Colour using Discover Aus - for some reason the GPS unit wont load up the maps after the laptop process has finished - instead the unit just beeps and turns itself off... slightly frustrating..
This raises 2 questions:
1. Does anyone know of a good website that sells the DiscoverAus Topo software online - the preloaded SD card?
2. Does anyone know of a reputable GPS
shop in SA that can assist me with this problem and maybe upload some maps for me or get my unit working?
I loaded maps onto my unit approx 12 months ago without a problem so have no idea what the issue is this time...
Hope you can help - cheers..

"It will upload the first region but as soon as I try to upload any further regions it fails."
As mention before - just save the maps to the hard drive and then copy to the SD card using a card reader. If this doesnt work I would be surprised.
If for some reason you dont wish to do this you may like to ring Next Destination for some advice.
It would also be handy to know what PC operating system you are using (windows 98, XP or Vista?) and if you are using USB (via converter) or standard serial connection.
