hi i have avic f700bt, which i recently updated to 3.0 from 2.06. i found new 2010ta maps for northamerica and downloaded them, what i did was i deleted the maps and poi in igo folder of the myflash disc on sd card and replaced them with new one and after that i went in test mode and copied the new maps to the unit, but after booting the maps still show 2008-10 only... i did research in all the topics even tried putting fx3.1 after which the unit didnt even start so i reverted back to 3.0, which works fine but still the old maps, any help will be greatly appreciated..

thanks

The maps are found in 'MyFlashDisk/APL2/iGO/Content/map'. If you replaced all the maps in that folder as well as the POIs, then it should work. If it does not, then you have installed the wrong map files.
