Downloading A MAP for a newby

Hi all
I have just found this site.
I’m a newby and a numpty.
I’m looking for a map of South Africa that I can download and run on my Navi-Go 4.3 inch wide screen sat nav.
In the past, with a great deal of help from another site (That site is now sadly closed down) I managed to "hack" this Navi-Go 4.3 inch wide screen, to run on a TomTom map called..... United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_v850.2820.

Looking at this site it seems to have a similar profile to the one that was recently closed down.
What do I need to do to be able to download a map:chok_mini:

can you please tell me what I need to do next, to download this Map onto my PC, so that I can copy it onto an SD card that I can place in my Navigo.
I have read the explanations you give in the "Screenshots and some explanations".
I can not see anything in the explanations.
I am a complete numpty

I didn't give you File Factory links. They are MegaUpload links.

My mistake sorry.
I did say I’m a newby and a numpty.
I clicked on the (860 maps with installer and Fast Activate) bit in your post, that link took me to the post by Downunder35m on 29 November 2010. I got a little confused at that point.
I will try again tomorrow, when I have more time.

Is the MegaUpload site user friendly for a newby like me ?

Keep in mind that I gave you a link to the thread, as well as links to 2 specific maps for you to pick from. What confused you? I need to see if I can make an improvement, so the next member won't have a problem.

MegaUpload is very friendly.

I received two replies to my question, one from you "tendriver", and one from "PiEtu".
Your reply gave a link to the thread, and a link to the MegaUpload site, with the choice of two maps.
PiEtu`s reply gave me a link to The File Factory.
That is where my confusion arose, I got confused by the two different sites.

In your opition "tendriver" which of the two sites above would be the easier for me, a complete numpty to use ?

Ok. Thanx for the explanation.

MegaUpload.

You recommend MegaUpload, is MegaUpload a free site ?
Can you tell me if The File Factory a free site.

What gives MegaUpload your nod over File Factory

2. What gives MegaUpload your nod over File Factory

1. There is no member cost for anything on Navitotal.

2. Read your question about the 2 in post 9!!

When I click on the link you posted, it takes me to the MegaUpload site.
Is that MegaUpload site part of Navitotal ?

1. Imagine that!!

2. Does it matter?

It matters to a newby, that is not familiar with this site.
It matters to a newby, who thinks that when he follows the link to MegaUpload, he is taken to The Relink Site.
I am just trying to make myself a little bit more familiar with the systems used on navitotal`s website.

When I click on the either of the two links to the maps you gave me Im taken to a site called Relink.

Is it possible to go directly to MegaUpload`s site, or must I go through the Relink site to get to the map?
