Simply check the 915 and 910 map threads for available maps and follow the instructions provided.
We have a tutorial section as well.
With a bit more reading you would have noticed how to post your details properly - I edited your posting accordingly.

Sorry about the mistakes with my post... You are quite correct that more reading on my behalf would have help & I am also sorry for this...
I was overwhelmed with all the information that is available, along with zero knowledge regrading upgrading my device.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
