You are suppose to take a copy of it before you embark on deleting it !. That's why it's better to buy a 16gb mib2 card that the latest mib1 fits on will work. That way you have your old map card and the new card and you don't have to hack the maps down to fit.

There is a copy of the map card on the thread... how these card work if you have a copy of before the year release it works but after it doesn't. Old works, new doesn't. So you can use an old map file in the car then start the edits, if you follow. That's how mib2 standard works.

A version 4 contents will work with a unit that had version 5 in it. Get that working then edit the version onto the latest release.

If you had version 4 but lost it, version 5 wouldn't be much good. You can always search eBay if nobody steps forward to help.

Clear as mud.

It won't break the bank buying another card. I've got three I use on mib2 :love:. With the hacking of the latest mib1 files to get it to fit onto the old 8gb card add at a level of problem solving since you don't know whether you have manufactured the header correctly or messes up the edits. Why I say buy a second card, keep your first card as is.

Another reason to get a 2nd card is that they do fail sometimes, due to being in constant use in the car etc.

SD cards can and do fail. I see it sometimes in other systems where they are used to hold an operating system. It is commonly associated with excessive writing to the card and the solution is to use an industrial rated card in that case. The nav systems should not be writing to the card much (if at all) but it is still a risk when reprogramming the card.

I didn't have a good experience with a Raspberry Pi running server software for iPlayer radio. It did two cards in. I'd have a backup to write a new one. Did shift it to more durable micro SDs cards. Too much data traffic.


That was a lesson that they can wear them out. That software is a stop gap for people with fancy sound systems which got rendered useless when the BBC changed to DASH / HLS from MP3. You get the same sample rate with the iPlayer on Android based devices so you just connected them up to your fancy sound system but a bitter pill for some people to swallow. Nvidia here on a Sony surround system wack the TV off for audio only. The fancy sound systems didn't have enough processing power in them for DASH / HLS hence the server software.
