Don't use HOME. Once downloaded, just drag them over to your North America folder. Next time you boot up your TT, they'll be there. You may want to go to the menu "enable/disable POI" so your POI icons will show up on your map as you drive.

Hope this helps!

Sure can, would be happy to help. Are you wanting to just transfer everything over to a larger card, or are you wanting to put the North America maps on a larger card?

See here

actually any POI you download, you can just unzip to your HOME\Downloads folder and then use HOME to install.

Sorry, I am very new at this also.

Are you saying that all I have to do is unzip the files (for instance, I d/l the Speed Trap, Red Light and Rest Area files) and then just drag those files using explorer into the USA and Canada folder and they should work?

I don't have a NA Folder, I have a USA_and_Canada Folder. But I see no other files like that in that folder.
