+Mike+Mary Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I've been using MM 2004 for about a year. When I recently bought MM Selections to get a 1:25k area, I installed MM V5 as recommended on the CD. Now I find that V5 won't load my 1:50k map files (legally purchased) stating they're incompatible. That's all of regions 1 to 6, not a trivial matter! Is there a way I can use the 1:50k files with V5? I certainly don't want to buy them all over again! Quote Link to comment
gekocacher Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 No, due to our friends at Ord Survey, licencing restrictions do not allow you to do this. You can use V5 files in the 2004 Viewer, but not 2004 files in the V5 viewer, if that makes sense. Not Mem Maps fault, blame the Crown !!! Quote Link to comment
+Mike+Mary Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Extraordinary - new data files incompatible with old program versions is quite common. Old data files incompatible with new program versions is a real rarity! The first may be acceptable as a price of progress; the second seems a bit of a rip-off. However, as MM V5 doesn't appear to have overwritten MM 2004, all is not lost... Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 There is a way round this - perhaps someone will e-mail you and let you know the trick as I've never had to do it yet. I anticipate a similar problem when I get the Memory Map South of France 1:25000 maps soon. HH Quote Link to comment
