Install Maps to a micro sd card on Aventura 2
-
Good morning,
You are on the user forum, to contact after-sales service you must use the send a request link at the top of this page.
The problem you are reporting is recurring, it comes back regularly, then disappears with updates.
Have you installed the latest update?
Personally, I no longer use the maps sold or the map loading offered by TwoNav.
I have been switching to the recently updated free maps solution for several years.Another user

Hi Kevin. You are more computer literate than I.
Root file? Shall I just generate a new folder on the sd card? But what shall I name it to enable to device to read it?
I would happily copy and paste the maps from the device to the as card but I am concerned as I only have a finite amount of downloads from TwoNav. Should this not work, or I lose them, I would have to download from the site again. Surely I am not the only one to experience this issue? But there is nothing on the community pages.
Can I be assured that should a run out of downloads attempting this, TwoNav will authorise further downloads of these maps?
ThanksAlex

Hello,
In principle, you just need to duplicate the same folder organization as on the internal memory of the GPS on the SD card, then in the GPS menu once done, remember to check that the GPS has access to this new directory.
So with the GPS connected to the PC via the USB cable:
- New Folder => TwoNavData
- In this folder New Folder => Map.
TwoNav does not limit the number of map loadings from its site.
Following successive updates and the addition of new features, the trick would be to no longer saturate the memory, neither internal nor SD card: How?
- Only keep useful maps for future outings in the internal memory of your GPS.
- From the GPS map menu, you can delete maps that are rarely used or that you do not plan to use immediately.
- Then from the same GPS map menu (three dots at the bottom right) "Install purchased maps" you will load (via WiFi) only the next map(s) to be used.
- It is the TwoNav site / server that will act as a Hard Drive.
- The loading and installation of maps is now done without a USB cable.
The limitation because there is one does not concern the number of loading but the number of devices (or appliances) on which you can install these maps (SmartPhone, GPS, PC) which is limited to five memory.
There is no longer any technical justification for loading all your maps and saturating the memory of your GPS.
Whatever your location, even at the start of a Hike with WiFi and at worst your SmartPhone in Access Point mode, you can load and install your maps. Just one installation and the GPS remembers the key (the map code)
For a best used of your GPS
