Uploading maps onto the WB850F

Hi, I just wanted to find out if it's possible to upload more than one counrty map onto the WB850F. The reason I ask is I'm traveling from Aus to USA, so using the cd it comes with I selected both countrys maps to upload. When I went into the map file on the memory card it only showed the AUS map. I deleted and reformatted the sd card and tried it again only this time uploading one at a time. When I went into the card it only shows the first map I uploaded. At the end of the day it's not really a big deal, I'm just wandering if it's at all possible.

Thanks

Hi Steve,

I just unwrapped my WB850F that came with my Samsung TV as a Promo.  First I downloaded all of Canada, where I live, and then I tried three adjoining US states.  The answer is that I can still see all the detail in Canada, and when I move the focus to Washington State I see all the roads and other detail.  But if I move the focus to a state I didn't download, no detail.

I'd suggest downloading wherever you are going, and then moving the focus to that country to see if you can see detail.  You have to have a GPS signal in order to browse the different map locations.

I bought a wb850f.  Where can I get the maps, to download and after upload onto the camera.
