Tom Tom One Maps

Hi,
I have a TT One 3rd edition with maps of Western Europe installed on the 1gb internal memory.
I'm travelling to and through Eastern Europe next week so would like to get the E Europe maps. Problem is there's no room on the TT for both and the TT home says I have to delete W Europe to make room. Now I cant really delete W Europe as I'll need those maps to get to E Europe.
There's probably a way around this and looking at this Forum I'm sure someone out there has the answer to my problem.
Tks
Brian

About the only option you can do is to carry the map folders on your laptop and when you need to switch the maps delete one to make available some space before copying the alternate map to the device.

If you do this make a full Windows Explorer back up of the device BEFORE doing anything else, then let Home install the Eastern Europe map, once complete again use Windows Explorer to copy the Eastern Europe map folder to the PC. Once you have the files/ folders available on the PC it is quite simple to delete, copy, paste the map folders to the device.

If you don't have a laptop consider carrying the USB connection cable and a 2GB USB memory stick loaded with the map folders, then find an Internet Cafe and use the PC to copy the files to the device (if they will let you).

Do the reverse to this on the way home, the only other option is to return the One Third Edition and get a One XL where you can use an SD card for exactly this reason. - Mike

Mike,
Tks for that, yeh I'll have the laptop with me so will take your instructions with me and hope I can get it to work. If not it'll be the old style of the missus navigating (oh no) on the way home then.

Brian, try both maps from the laptop to the device BEFORE the trip, this way you will know what to do, you can soon see if the map is working or not on the device - use the Browse Map function - Mike

Mike,
Tks for your help on that. Eventually managed to download the E Europe maps and followed your instructions. Have swapped them about ok after a bit of head scratching anyway.
Seems to work fine here so will see when we on the road tomorrow.
Tks
Brian
