Hi all,
Thank you to all that helped me to get my brain around the Garmin and maps loading, all is going ok but i have one problem. When i load a Shonky maps to the Garmin, it deletes or overwrites any previous Shonky maps that were previously loaded. How do you keep adding maps to the SD card and retain them all?? thanks in anticipation, Michael

Hi. What we have found is, if you want to load multiple maps onto a card to put into the GPS this is the way, open Mapsource and select " Map tool" and then select one of the maps you want to load from you list , the draw over the map covering all of it you want ( changes to pink), then select the next map you want and do the same , untill you have them all done .
We did Shonky Maps All versions , Oz topo, Tracks Aust 4.
Then plug in your unit and select " to device" after it has found it tick "Maps" and the send, it will load them all as one file . then on the unit , open "Map Info" and select the one you want to use , if you tick them all City Navigator will over ride them.
As far as I know that is a factory setting which you can't over ride, ( please correct me if I am wrong ).
If you want to add another map to the card , you have to go and load them all at once or the last one will over ride the others.
This works on a Streetpilot 2610, Nuvi 255W, Nuvi 760 and a Streetpilot C510.
Cheers Des.

Sorry forgot that if you have a card reader , load the card on there or if only the unit make sure you select the card letter listed in My Computer ( "F" ,"G" "H") , if you load them to the unit it will fill up the internal memory ( depending on model).
Cheers Des.
