Postcode search problem following map udate

 

Hi folks, i'd be most grateful for any assistance on the following...

I have a Garmin Streetpilot c510, and recently tried to install new 2010 mapping for the U.S., as I am heading to the states for a month over christmas. While I was at it I tried to install updated 2010 maps for the U.K. as well. However, I ran into problems - I have lost my ability to postcode search in the U.K! When I go 'Where to' and 'Address' on the menu screen, the next screen always asks "In what state/province is the address?" bypassing the "which country" screen. Previous postcodes are listed in my recently found destinations, and the device appears capable of still navigating to these postcodes, but I cannot enter new ones. Is there a way of removing all map data from the device and starting from scratch? Or is this a bad idea?

Many thanks in advance!

Maps

Sounds like you may be set for a US map and not a UK map. I do not have my unit in front of me, but I think it is tools (wrench), maps, and map info. Make sure you have a check mark by UK maps and uncheck the US maps.

Thanks Dan, hadn't played

Thanks Dan, hadn't played with the options screens... Unfortunately I had a look, and the unit had a tick next to the U.K. Map already - tried removing the U.S. Maps, leaving only a U.K. one, and its still asking me for the state/province...!

Sorry

I don't have any other ideas. You may have to call Garmin or see if MM can help.

Here are the questions I have.

As I understand the situation ...

You have a unit that came preloaded with maps for the UK.

You also loaded maps for the US to the same unit while keeping the UK maps.

You subsequently also updated the UK maps.

You can't search for postal codes on the unit even with the US maps deselected.

Is all that correct?

1. Did you install the US maps to the SD card or the unit itself? If you installed them to the card, what happens when you take the card out of the unit completely.

2. If you installed them to the unit, does that unit show up as in Mass Storage Mode? If so, can you list ALL the .IMG files (names and sizes) that are showing on the unit.
