Map location for Destinator 9 ???

[jenom]

Installed Destinator 9 , a small 10 Mb version to an Invion GPS with 64 Mb memory and a 1 GB SD card.
It has Windows CE 5 and I can put the maps only to the SD card.

In "destinator.ini" file I put "MAP=ALASKA" and made folders on the SD card /Destinator/DestinatorApps/ALASKA and copied all the ALASKA map files there.
However, getting message when destinator starts: Map not found !

When I connect to the internal Win CE system,the SD Card is named as SDMMC folder and I can see its folders/files.

Question1: What location Destinator 9 looking for the maps ?
Question2: How can I make destinator to go to the SD card to look for the map? MAP=?????????????/Alaska
Question 3: What is Destinator 9 calling the SD card ? SDMMC or sdcard or storage card or else ???

Thank you for any suggestion !

Create folder/Destinator in sdcard/
sub folder/ Map /Alaska

Edit - Map=/sdcard/Destinator/Map/Alaska

The name of sdcard might varies to devices.
You have to try them out to confirm

Thank you for your reply.
So I created on sdcard "/Destinator/Map/Alaska/" and put map files in Alaska folder
Edited destinator.ini file "Map=/sdcard/Destinator/Map/Alaska"
Still, "no map found"
tried also using "SDMMC" instead of "sdcard".....no luck
tried also like this "Map=\sdcard\Destinator\Map\Alaska....no luck
Are you 100% positevely sure that I do not need the "DestinatorApps" folder on the card ?
What else the name of the sdcard could be ? (windows ce5 system)
Thanks!

Try - storage card first.

Last - just create Destinator folder in sdcard.
Alaska maps as a folder under Destinator.

Hope either works for you.
Ensure that Dest 9 maps are used.

thanks for the suggestion, I am going to try out all of them
My current maps are from Destinator 7.....maybe they are no compatible ?

Hi,
On my device maps for Alaska are located on SD card in foder DestinatorApps/Destinator/Alaska
In destinator.ini file it is simple Maps=Alaska

In my case everything is on SD card

For me I did not have to modify any ini file at all. I just put the Maps into a folder named "Map" in the "Destinator" folder. It automatically picked it up. My OS is win ce 4.2 running destinator 9.

FWIW....My SD card is recognised as "SDMC Disk". This is on an old Becker running WINCE 4.2.
On the route of the card I have Deutschland and Iberia as (map) folders along with Language, Skin, Voices, Destinator and UserData.
The folder Destinator is empty, but it still works, even without having a separate Maps folder.
As per wowyogi, I didn't have to edit any .in files or anything else as far as I remember.
The file Destinator with configuaration settings when opened up in notepad appears as below (this is just the first few lines).
My guess here is that because it says Map= Deutschland, it doesn't go hunting any where for a map file but goes straight to Deutschland directly on the SD card.
It's just a thought, and I'm happy to be corrected on this.

In the GPSTMC file under Destinator\UserData folder I see the following for the type of data,

[GPS settings]
;Serial comport parameters. Protocol 2 means NMEA, 1 - SiRF
Port = 2
BaudRate = 4800
Protocol = 2

Protocol 2 is NMEA and 1 is SIRF. I have Sirf III chipset so should I select NMEA or SIRF? I selected NMEA and the signal is kind of weak (not sure if its a hardware issue), wondering if it will work better if I select SIRF?
