Using multiple maps, especially on both internal and SD can be frustrating as maps for the same region appear with identical names.
E.G. if I test the Australia maps on my device all versions show up in the map changer with the same name - nothing to see which map is wich.

2. If you edit the .pna file you can give the map shown in the map changer a new/extended name, let's say to include the version number.
But I think since the 870 maps, this renaming also messes with map share. Once the .pna is edited Home refuses to give map share updates.
And yes, with a modified .pna file Fast- and AutoActivate often refuse to activate the map.

Since I'm not sure if the user edited the inside of the PNA file (which should still work for the activation) or the filename itself...

If you need othe names for the maps installed it is best to change the inside of the PNA file after the map activation and after the map was tested to work on the device.
Here an example for the Australia map:
Original PNA
ID=Australia.pna
611962007
880
build=3810
id=767382

To make it show up with a different name in the map changer you edit the ID:
ID=Australia3810SD.pna
611962007
880
build=3810
id=767382

The original shows up as "Australia" while the map with the edited PNA shows up as "Australia3810SD".
But again, even if that is working for the name change I almost always encountered the problem that map share stopped working.
It might help to activate map share first and to change the PNa after that - have not tested this way yet.

Hope this explanation helps a bit to clear things up.

With my question : Where can I put common files such as POI or Speedcam, when I use Fastactivate with my 2 map folders, I have the feeling that dct generation file is only made on 1 folder map (there is no detailed result in fastactivate report to know where dct files have been created).
As main of my POI are french one, to avoid loosing SD card memory space with multi copy/paste I would have preferred to only have one common folder, even if POI out of current maps will not be shown.

2. For Mapsettings.cfg I had done the copy paste of the file, but even if I have not change the Navcore revision I have lost my favorites and my previous Trips when I have switched from Europe to France.
