Just bought a Samsung WB650 camera which has the option to download map data to put on your memory card in order to view maps using gps on your camera. However I have no idea WHERE on my memory card to put it - I have tried just on the root of the card and also in the Database folder as well as the DCIM folder - they all come up as no maps installed when turning camera back on.

Can anyone help please??

Thanks

    Not having a WB650 however from a googled review of the camera


    The maps have to be downloaded from Samsung's website and manually installed on the SD card, a procedure which is fairly complicated and not helped by Samsung's usual terrible translation of the instructions. However once you've got everything into the right folders it works smoothly and the map location is accurate, although the level of local detail is a bit limited.

    Pages 86 87 of the user’s manual appear to give a indication of a way through your problem


    Best if luck :beer:
