I guess this is one of the reasons one only sees Memory Map upladed to a.b.w.pocketpc.gps, etc!
I've never used Anquet because of this but have never had probs with MM.
Is MM therefore better than Anquet?
MM also covers France (via a.b.w.p.g.)

I didn't raise the matter to comment about competitors.

Answer my questions if you can but other wise ensure that you move off my
topic please

Thank you


Terry

Throwing one's dolly out of the pram is not usually the best way to get
help from the news group.
