And download and save the file pocketgps_uk_sc.zip to your desktop, extract all the files to a folder (that you create) You need to then physically drag and drop these files onto the memory card. To do this follow the instructions below:

You need to highlight the files and select copy

You should see a new drive under Removable Disk
You need to click on the removable disk and double click on the map folder, right click and paste the files across, very easy to do.

I'm assuming you're trying to get the digitools postcode data to work?
You need to check the remaining memory in your pda (start/settings/system/memory). You need at least 16mb free on the storage side.
Its easier to load the postcode data to a memory card.
Save it in a new folder on your pc, copy this folder, whilst synced to pc use "explore" to navigate to your storage card then paste it to the card. You then need to create a shortcut to the exe. file, then cut and paste this to programs in the windows section of your pda.
Don't forget to add the "palmtop TTN control" to your pda - without this it won't work.
Have fun

Could someone please explain how to install the digitools postcode..

I've copied the folder to my pda and created a shortcut to ukpostcode.exe, but I get a message "cannot find ukpostcodes or one of it's components" is this related to "palmtop TTN control" ? if so what is it, where can I get it, and what do I do with it..

The files in the folder I copied to my mio 168 are:

setup.exe
TTNControl.arm.CAB
TTNControl.ini
ukpostcode.dat
ukpostcode.exe

I've tried running setup from my desktop but it don't get me far..
