Hi
Please help, I want to add a map to my PDA to use with TomTom. I have tried memory map but it would not work with the GPS. Is there a way ?

What are you talking about?!

Not sure I understand you at all. But memory map and TomTom are completely different products.

What hardware and software do you actually have at the moment.. and what are you trying to do?

Sorry i will start again.
I have a HP IPAQ 4150 with TomTom Navigator 4. (in car kit )
I work at an airport (manchester ), and am trying to get a TomTom map of the Airport so I can use it at work (driving in fog) But the Great Britain map I have is blank where the airport is, and does not show anything.

Firstly I wouldn't rely on GPS for such an important task, it just is not accurate enough. Secondly if the maps aren't available for TomTom then there is nothing you can do, the maps are as they are, you can't alter them

The best you could do is make your own maps for memory map but I'm led to believe this is not easy at all.

I managed to make a map with memory map but could not get it to work with the TomTom GPS.

if you have memory map running on the pc zoom into the airport area, then select export visable area to pda - memory map comes with its own gps driver, but you will need a gps unit plugged into the pda, i to work on an airfield and would not recommend using it in fog on small roads its just not got the acuracy you need - unless on the runway - the os memory map at scale 1:25,000 is probably your best bet but you will need radar to avoid hitting an aircraft - I wouldn't trust it !
