download it off the internets and put it on to an SD card, check the satnav, there should be a slot for it?

Not all satnavs use an SD card. Newer TomToms don't.

Ok np. I'm guessing it's an older model.

We hired one with the car for 10 days for something like £20.

I think you should be able to by a map for it .. plug your satnav into the computer and it gives you some options on what to buy and a update if it needs it
