If you don't have any free memory you will be unable to download new maps.
You may have to 'delete' some of the pre-loaded maps (assuming any have been loaded of course), or buy more memory.

I'm not sure if extra memory can be bought for that model, but the symptoms you describe I have observed when the memory on my Garmin EMAP is full up.

think i may of sussed my prob, to upload the uk map, they split it into say 5 0r 6 sections, i have the metroguide uk, each block is very detailed (far more than the roads and recreation uk disc)

each section is miles to big to add to mine, looks like in the bin for metroguide then, i need garmin uk roads and recreation cd.

anyone do me a ahem... copy???
