Downloaded maps are duplicated
I downloaded a Spanish IGN map to my Mac via the Downloader. The .rtmap files then appear in two places: the TwoNavDownloader_env folder and also in the Land8 Folder (in subfolders in each case). Why is this?
Should they be deleted from the TwoNavDownloader folder and if so should that be done automatically by the Downloader?
Thanks.

Hello Graham,
Yes, you are right. The Downloader saves a copy of the maps in that folder. This is done to make further installations quicker, and considering that hard drive capacity on a computer should not be a problem nowadays.
Even though, it is true that in some cases the file size can be really big, so it could actually be a problem.
Maybe we should re-think this process in the future. By now, feel free to delete this folder if you need that space. If you need to re-install the map, it will just download it again.

Hello
YES YOU CAN
All paths are defined in the FILE / OPTION / FOLDER menu
Or you can find them listed in the gps.ini file which is in user / compegps / bakeup file which you can modify with a text editor. This file allows you to find out where LAND places the data ...
Best regards

Hello, I have the same question with the SPAIN FULL TOPO:
Not only you have all the RTMAP files in the <user>/Documents/CompeGPS/maps/SPAIN_RTMAP/
Buy also you find the ZIP and the uncompressed RTMAPS below C:\ProgramData\TwoNavDownloader_Env\ciwdata\
My question is if I can remove everything under C:\ProgramData\TwoNavDownloader_Env\ciwdata\ without causing any disaster. Or if this is not possible, what may I remove for getting back HD space without further problems.
Thank you for your answer. Best regards

Hello

Nowadays, many computers have one small system hard drive (128GB on mine) and one much larger data drive.
Unfortunately, the programData folder (where TwoNavDownloader_Env is located) is by on default on the system drive. As well as documents, videos, music etc... I have moved these ones to the data drive when I've configured my new computer. But not programData.
And after I have downloaded the latest IGN maps for whole France, I had only 3GB left on my system drive! (60GB in the TwoNavDownloader_Env folder)
Of course, the problem is that the data folders were installed by default on the small system drive.
But, yes, if think that maybe you should re-think this process (at least, let the user choose a folder, and/or display a warning and a delete temp files button...)
best regards

Hello,
Here is the forum you address mainly to other users, you have to "send a request" at the top of this page to send your remark to the after-sales service, it would be better to be more numerous to do it, more luck d 'be heard.
To get around this there are two solutions
- Move ... / my documents / to another partition (d: / for example) which is quite easy with Windows (See Window help).
- Or create a specific Land working directory on a larger partition, then in the GPS.ini file which is in c: / programdata you must modify all the paths. Both of these solutions are effective.
The update has other side effects:
- All the paths are not updated correctly to ... / my documents / .. Which causes some anomalies
- Changing folders in file / option seems to no longer work.
Best regards
Bonjour,
Ici c'est le forum tu t'adresse principalement aux autres utilisateurs, il faut "envoyer une demande" en haut de cette page pour adresser ta remarque au SAV, ca serai mieux d'être plus nombreux à le faire, plus de chances d'être entendu.
Pour contourner cela il y a deux solutions
- Déplacer .../mes documents/ sur une autre partition (d:/ par exemple) ce qui est assez facile avec Windows (Voir l'aide Window).
- Ou créer un répertoire de travail Land spécifique sur une partition plus volumineuse, ensuite dans le fichier GPS.ini qui est dans c:/programdata il faut modifier tous les chemins. Ces deux solutions sont efficaces.
La mise à jour a d'autres effets indésirables:
- Tous les chemins ne sont pas mis à jour correctement vers .../mes documents/.. Ce qui provoques quelques anomalies
- La modification des dossiers dans fichier/option semble ne plus fonctionner.

I have the same issue and on a smaller PC it could be a problem
I notice this 6years OLD
AND a note on the last post
Maybe we should re-think this process in the future.
I am today downloading the OS maps onto my LAND application and gues what - they are downloadign the TAR files (even though they are still all still in the folder
\TwoNavDownloader_Env
AND then decompressing and re-installing - again all exist on the \TwoNavDownloader_Env
so would be very simple just to check that folder
on LAND looking at the instructions , I used the User ICON and install purcased MAPS , maybe another menu item
as i did download to a ROC , and had the option to also add to LAND - but at that time i was not sure if i would use LAND
to be honest STILL Not sure if i will, but giving it a go
