Can’t Paste the IMG (Map) to the MicroSD card!
If you have this issue, the most likely cause is that you have the MicroSD card in a SD Adapter, as shown below:
And, that you have engaged the Lock on the adapter; this makes the MicroSD card “Read-Only“, and therefore you can’t add files to it (paste), delete files from it, etc. until you disengage the “Lock” on the adapter.
The “Lock” is engaged (card is locked and read only) when the “Lock” is down (as indicated by the arrow on the adapter), making any inserted MicroSD card readable, but not writeable. In the picture above the “Lock” is disengaged, so the any MicroSD card inserted is readable and writeable.
