no maps found tt v2

[si1964]

i bought gb maps last month and thought i had imported them to my tomtom, unionjacks, mapshare etc. but the name always remained as uk, roi, even the version went to 7.10.1571. when i browse the tomtom in home it says that gb and uk are downloaded, but the size of the map in use is 126mb, (uk) the gb is 129. i have tried several times to get just the gb map on, loads ok, home says its on the sd card but the tomtom screen says NO MAPS FOUND, so i have to put the uk back on, today i downloaded the latest version of home which stated my was 20weeks out of date and that x number of mapshares were waiting to be downloaded. tried putting the gb maps on again, downloaded the mapshare ok but once again screen says no maps found is there somthing i am missing or do i have a corrupt map?

Is it the size of the 710 Map that's bothering you?

The sizes of the 710 Maps are noted to be smaller than previous versions of the same area. This is TT changing the compilation. You don't say what version the GB map is.

I don't know about the 20 weeks out of date message, but it seems to be a problem with quite a few users.

I think you need to split this up into two completely separate issues....

"Mapshare" has nothing to do with the "no maps found" problem you are having. Leave that out of the equation until the main map business is sorted.
The 20 weeks out of date message is just a new gimmick from TomTom and simply means you haven't downloaded any Mapshare updates for the map yet.

I don't have the GB/UK maps myself so I cannot comment on the actual names used, but I do know that the name you see on screen is not necessarily the name of the folder the map is stored in.

If the TomTom itself (not via Home) reports you are now using v710 maps when you tap the signal level bars and then tap the box with the software version, then the upgrade has happened successfully and you have nothing to worry about.

If you still don't have the new map installed correctly, check it exists in your My Documents/TomTom/Home/Downloads/map folder (or whatever path you have Home set to download to)
So long as it is there and isn't a corrupted download, we can hopefully get it on your machine without too much bother.

Finally, it will help if you say what model you are using and what size SD card you have (if any).

i have ttone v2 with 1gb sd
its not the size of the map thats bothering me, its the fact that i have paid for the map update and "unsure" if it has been installed, the map is present in home downloads, i have just deleted the uk map from the sd and tried a clean download of the latest gb map, but same again happens, no maps found, but what is even stranger is the original uk map V6.6 has now become v710!!!!
is it possible that when the new map is installed it downloads only the "missing" components of v6.60 then takes on the guise of v710

When you upgrade a Map, ALL the files are changed. It can't pick and mix, as it is a completely new compilation of data.
