Euor maps say locked when i put sd card in sat nav

if the unit was in uses while the sd was pulled out it could of damaged the files on the sd card. you can check the files on a pc but not run the files. the sd card has all the info for the sat nav system if it can not find or use a file it will not let you change the file. you need to do a scan on the sd card. its like a pc if you not eject the sd before removing it damages the filing system.also the web page is not accessible in my area. i would need the model number of the unit. there are software patches and map updates for all nav systems you may need to update the sd mapping software. from the manufactures web site

Copy the new maps onto the SD card be sure that the card has enough space on it. ( you might need a SD Card reader ) copy the old maps onto your PC before deleting the SD card, copy all the data into the root folder of your sat nav. hope this helps

If the maps are on an sd card you may be able to put tom tom on but as for updates myguide no longer exist and so don't provide updates. Mine still works fine and any roads that have been built that don't appear on the sat nav i have managed anyway.

All SD cards should have a toggle, unless it has fallen out, or its one of the "specials" usually found in Sat-Navs which were made to be read only (with maps on). You don't say which Fuji you have - some used to take xD cards, which don't have a slider, but are easily recognisable by their one curved side of the card. I'll assume you have an SD card for this reply.
----------------------------------------------
Here's a recap of what you are looking for:

On the SD card there is a small slider - which allows you to lock the card (to prevent accidental erasure).

If you put in on the table with contacts upwards, corner cut top left, then the slider is on the right hand edge, about 1/3 the way down. If it is slid to the top position (nearest the contacts) the card is unlocked. If it is slid down (away from the contacts) the card is locked.

If it is a damaged / "cheap" card, sometimes the slider falls out, in which case the card is locked. You can still read from it, but not write to it until fixed or replaced.

First check is to turn the camera off, remove the card, move the slider to locked, then back to unlocked. Replace in the camera and turn on.
---------------------------
As to your choices if it is broken (or a read only map SD card), then you might like to try the camera with another SD card, to see if the problem persists? (A reputable photo store will often lend you a card for the 20 seconds it takes to do this test)

Repair is very fidgety (even assuming you can find the slider). Most people tend to migrate their stuff to a new card.

Hope this is helpful.

Have you tried resetting the unit? if not try this as it solves many problems

No. They are refering to maps sent from the computer to the Garmin device. Maps are not transferred off the SD card to the unit. Simply insert the SD card into the device and the Garmin will read the maps from the card.
to double check follow these steps

1. Power on the unit with the card in
2. Press Tools
3. Press Settings
4. Press Map
5. Press Info (or map info)

This page should list out both your UK and Ireland maps(old as dirt) and your new Benelux and France maps as well
