Can anyone advise what to do if you have formatted the OG Skoda SD Card? All partitions on the SD drive has now been cleared. Could someone advise how the SD card is partitioned please? I'm hoping to repartition the SD drive correctly then cur and paste the folder MAPS into the correct partition section...

No partitions, just a *,md5 file in the root area of the card, and a "maps" directory containing the maps.

MAKE SURE THE SD CARD IS FORMATTED TO "FAT32" (not "FAT" or "NTFS").

Fantastic, Thank you. I will give this a try when I get back from work today😀😀

Sadly this has not worked either. Formatted the SD card to on a Windows PC to FAT32. Extracted the files from the Downloads folder to the SD Card. Inserted the SD card back into the card and the message: 

 

Please insert a data medium with valid navigation data.

 

Sounds like it's not recognising the SD card. Maybe it's corrupted??

Did you save the old files before you did the format?  If so, do another format, copy the old files onto the card and see if it recognises them.

Hi @WorkHorse, what a pain for you!

IIRC, Skodas can be a bit fussy about what memory cards it will work with.

Are you using the original Skoda branded memory card?

EDIT: Whoops! Just read you are dealing with a Skoda card. I assume you still are using that card?

Yes. I am using the original Skoda SD Card. I think when I formatted the card it has deleted the position with the root commands on it and that's why it is not recognised by the car... May have to buy a replacement SD card...

It doesn't work that way, the information that makes the SD card into a Skoda one cannot be deleted by a Format.
