If you still have problems - PM me your DeviceID & I'll try it for you.Code:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WMVCRLF7
Ok tried the map again don't know what I'm doing wrong but no joy, so I reinstalled the 865 map again now I can't get beyond the splash screen and have to press rest on the device to connect to pc TT home & BBs see the device ok but every time I remove from cradle just freezes on splash screen (should've left well alone) but now do I start all over again or what.
Funny thing is it boots ok from an SD card with western Europe map instaled and gives me the choice of maps and I can use either.

This map is working fine on my Go730 - make sure you delete the old map folder & not try to overwrite any existing map files. If you want to keep your Favourites & POI settings - copy the file named 'mapsettings.cfg' from old map folder to new map folder.
Have you read my last post m8?Quote:

If still having problems - remove memory card - the connect to Tomtom Home & use Home to delete everything on your Tomtom. Then update the navcore until no more updates are available - add any voices & postcode files. Disconnect from Home & start device - this will create a new ttgo file for you. Then use activation tool to patch the Navcore - add new map & again use tool to activate new map.
Unfortunately my ver of TT home is already patched ver will this make a difference.
Got a patched ver of navcore working already but its 8204.

Phew finally got 870 map working after realizing I had to edit the ME TA files in BBS tools just deleted UK and roi text and replaced with new ME TA always activated maps before using Alberts but that no longer seems to work.
Thanks all for your help.
regards painter
Following the thread between painter & Russell1.
Thought I should report that the map activated fine with Alberts activation tool on my GO700 with a v.8.2 navcore.
Pointed to the ME TA code supplied with the map.
Here's the UK & RoI v870.3417 map - for PDA & PNA with Navcore v7.4** & higher - no IQ Routes or ALG.

After installing an old backup and getting this latest map installed on my 530,
when I start TT home (patched ver) along with mapshare & GPS updates I get an updated TT version for my unit with the tick greyed out so cannot remove it & will have to install it with the other updates but am wondering if this will be safe as I remember doing a similar thing on a ver I was using on an SD card and afterwards the card would not boot, funny thing is though TT home says my mapshare updates are 20 weeks old:confused:
regards painter
If you update the Navcore on your Tomtom you'll have to patch it again. Does it say what version it will update it to ?
Sorry for the late reply Rusell1 below is a screen shot of TThome apparently it's ver 8.351, the ver I am using now is ver 8.204.
Oops forgot to add pic will post again.
regards painter
Here you go.
regards painer
I'd let it update to that version & then use one of the activation tools to patch the ttsystem file on your Tomtom.
Ok now I managed to get hold of a ready patched 8.351 ver so all's well now thanks anyway Russell1.
