Hi all,

Heres a puzzler for you, I have just tried to put a France Map from here http://www.navitotal.com/forums/showthread.php?1235-Garmin-France-topo-map-%28-maps-merged-amp-unlocked-IMGs-North-amp-South%29&p=3039#post3039 and when I tried to load garmin it freezes on the start up screen, any ideas?

The Map I am trying to use is the south of France and it has been urarred after downloading all segments.

[SIZE="4"]Is it possible to verfiy that the map is unlocked and working? [/size]

I have downloaded maptool and I can see that it is the south of france. I have deleted the IMG I am trying to use and have unrarred the original, I put it on the sd card and straight away it worked? very odd indeed must have been a problem with the rar. Thanks for all your help.
