Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1

Yes copy and paste between devices. Move is only if it's on the device. It's fallen into no man's land. Deleted from the card and not moved. Move we'll read as cut and paste. Generally not between devices and that's two devices.

I see. I don't remember what I did exactly: copied or moved. Im not sure if I want to try things with the new map card I have, lol

It should be OK. The CID on mib2 cards is fine for mib1. So yes. Europe 1 means it's a 16gb card... that's the zone Europe 1 in mib2 form. Mib1 cards are 8gb... the maps expand to need 16gb or you have to hack them. Mib2 that expanded to 32gb cards but packaged into zones.

Why I recommend keeping your existing card intact as a back up and using the 16 or 32 gb card as a new one. When you switch map cards in the units you do need to hold the on / off button for a few seconds to force a reboot else the unit holds the parameters read off the old card if the card swap is shorter than 20 minutes.

Ps note I did an edit to the post you replied to... mib1 used 8gb cards... 2023 maps in mib1 need a 16 or 32 gb mib2 card to use for the CID or you hack down the 2023 maps to fit. Getting last when I typed that.

So when my card arives, I am not touching the original and working mib1card. Do I format the new mib2 card then copy over the files from my mib1? I'm not really clear on what do do yet. Then do I just download the new maps and right them to the mib2 card?

DO NOT FORMAT THE NEW CARD (excuse the shouting). Delete the existing files on the card by selecting them and pressing the delete key. Once you have done that you will have a blank card ready to have the new files copied to it. Follow the earlier instructions for downloading at editing the new files.

As above and those links. The beauty of the new card is you don't mess up your original. So there is little to go wrong except getting that edit correct using the part number of your existing card.
