I am trying to update the sat nav maps in my car. I have to download the file to my PC and then copy it to a usb flash drive to slot into the usb port in my car to update.

I have used the same 32gb flash drive twice in the past two years without any problems.

The file is just under 15GB and my drive is a 32GB capacity.

I am absolutely certain that on the previous times I used this drive I just copied the files across without any problems using FAT32 formatting on the usb drive.

Now every time I try to send the files the drive I get a 'File to large' warning. Following advice I set the format to NTFS and the files transfer perfectly. The only problem is that when I try to install this update in my car the system does not recognise it.

As already stated I am 100% certain I was able to copy the same size of file this time last year and the year before using FAT32.

Any suggestions?

Jim.
