I have a Garmin DriveLuxe 51.
On the SD card, the folder structure is like below:
GarminG2S
GarminJCV
GarminPOI
GarminSID
GarminSQLite
...
When I get the "City Navigator Europe NT", the folder structure is like below:
Addintional filesAddress Point - All North
Addintional filesAddress Point - All South
Addintional filesAddress Search - All North
Addintional filesAddress Search - All South
...
How shall I copy the files to the SD card folders? Thanks!
How
How will you be receiving the Europe map, on an SD card or via download from Garmin?
I never get lost, but I do explore new territory every now and then.
Reason for copying?
What is reason for copying files to card? You need some sort of backup or you want to run maps from card? If you want save maps from card best way is to install maps with Express or MapInstall. Especially that you don't seem to know what you are doing. This will make sure that files will be in required places, as not all of them can be moved and used from card.
If you planning to copy maps to run them on other device it will not work. Maps are tied to device and will not work with different one. Exception are maps bought on SD card which are tide to particular card and will not work when copied elsewhere.
If you just want copy files to make backup just copy them with operating system tools for copying, like any other files.
