Welcome to the forum,Rar files are containers with a compressed version of the original files.No converting just unpacking

[Please Register or Login to download file] As you didn't use the thumbs up button to say "Thanks" ,I'm not sure what you downloaded ,your device only uses NT maps and only uses the Junction view file .jcv(480 x 270) file and the map .img file
If you are updating out of date maps on the device it is a simple matter of replacing old for new in the .system folder (make a back up of the old)
It is possible your device will not have enough internal space to handle the latest maps so an SD card is needed
