Files required on TomTom Go

kdbcom · Occasional Visitor Joined: Jul 08, 2005 Posts: 21

My TomTom Go seems to have a lot of files on it that are probably unnecessary.
Can anyone tell me the bare necessacity files that are required to give a system that will function.
Or even a list of what each file does in order that I can add or delete features that I may or may not want to use.
Thanks

Which Version of TT do you have?

Before you do anything, make sure you do a Full Backup.

Deleting Files can be very risky. Usually it's better to wipe the Card clean, and re-install the Software and add the Maps from the Backup. The reason for the Backup.

Any POI you want to keep you can either use the Backup, or download and install again.

I have a Tomtom Go classic and yes I have backed up & have a couple of 256 meg sd cards but some of the file names dont appear to have any bearing on the operation Ie birthday, connect to the internet etc
I wuold like to have an uncluttered card with just the necessary files which is good PC practice ( I am a PC hardware engineer)

Tumbleweed, please tone down.

As for the original question.

You need

\ttsystem
\data.chk

the map folder including ALL files

and a voice file pair (CHK plus VIF)

as the bare minimum.

No Tumbleweed its not just for a neat card I would like to get great britain & major roads of europe plus cameras plus a point of interest file on a couple of 256 meg cards that I have (1 main & 1 backup)
Without the unnecessary files these should go on . Over the last year or so with sucessive downloads various odd files seem to have appeared that probably have no bearing on the operation of the TomTom. Hence my question which was "what files are actually needed" and not "do you think I should remove files", which is surely my preference and up to me. Remarks like Idiotic are unnecessary & offensive and if you are not capable of reading and replying civily to the question asked why clutter up the thread with such inane comments.

Many thanks to the more informed of you who have given me the information I requested.

GB PLUS will go on a 256 with plenty of spare room.

Is there some dodgy stuff on it that you want to delete without wrecking it so you can sell it on ebay?

No it is my own (purchased ) TomTom & I would not want to be without it. No way is it being sold.
