Thanks for all the suggestions, but it's still no go. It's odd and frustrating since just today I installed the new Slovenia map and it worked like a charm first time. Most new maps I've downloaded here work fine in fact, except for a few : sinai, eastafrica, phillipines, hokkaido, spain.

Naturally they reach record proportions of desirability when they won't work. It's not that there aren't enough other maps, there are. But it's the thing that what works for one should work for all maps, just doesn't go ...

But whatever ... thanks for the suggestions nonetheless.
