there are on line converters to change the file format.
google the format you want.

how do i find out what file format is for my Sat Nav ? One is a built-in Land Rover/Range Rover Sat Nav, I think its a BMW one, the other is a mobile Packard Bell Compasseo ??

from the splash screens when they start should tell you the program running the maps.
google "Packard Bell Compasseo " and the model number, read what software it's running and then you will know what format it uses ,then convert to that and add to your map file.

Thanks, my Packard Bell Compasseo 600 is running 'Destinator' software, but don't mention a 'File' type anywhere, nor on PB site ?

That sounds fantastic! I wish I knew what you are talking about.

Can me and Harmonicaman just have a paper map may be simpler for us
