Author Visual Basic: GPS: maps:

I'd love some help/guidance.
Simply for my own satisfaction I'm trying to write some GPS mapping software
to run on my Windows Mobile 6 TyTnII with built in GPS. The GPS is a TomTom.
I have my own maps and the system works fine until I want to change the map.
Currently I have my home map loaded up at the start for development purposes
which is fine.
The maps (.jpg) are on the storage card in a directory P19 and I am
programming in Visual Studio 2005 (VB).
It seems I need to find the home directory, then change to the storage card,
then to the P19 directory, then get the map, but nothing seems to work.
Maybe I need to Import another Class to give me the ability? I simply can't
make it work and don't seem to be able to find any help via Google.
I suspect I'm missing a simple point somewhere. I'm in New Zealand by the
way & TomTom say they are in the process of producing some NZ maps. But I
want to use my own.
What I'd really appreciate is some sample coding changing pictures, but any
directions will be greatly appreciated. Before I go mad!
