@SynMusic, listen to Art's sound and experienced advices... There is
absolutely and unequivocally NO need, NO reason, nor any operational
advantage to disable two geographically different mapsets (e.g., USA and
UK in your case.) You only need to enable one mapset, and disable all
other mapsets that cover the *SAME* geographical area, as their
differences may conflict and confuse the GPS unit's operations (i.e.,
freezes/lockups and other operational anomalies.)
In my GPS unit, I have six different mapsets enabled simultaneously
covering North America, Europe, South Africa, China, South East Asia,
Australia and New Zealand without any problem. I also have TOPO US 24K
Northeast mapset which I selectively enable for hiking use while
disabling the North America mapset, and vice versa for normal vehicle use.

See how STUPID you are. DO NOT listen to the STUPID

Not sure on your unit. But on a 60csx, in the map display, "menu" then
"setup map".
There is one tab when you can enable/disable infividual map areas.

You would do best to get the complete CN Europe. You will not get any more
detail with individual sections.
