 |
|
| Hi everyone, I have a problem with my navigator 5 I bought from Tomtom and everything works fine with great britain map, I then bought from ebay the maps for europe on a cd with all the maps downloads and instructions, the trouble is following the instruction to a "T" it will not show the maps. As I am a silver surfa and not very good at computers I just wonder if there is anyone out there that could put me on the right path to get these installed. Many thank scubspitfire |

Which is probably why the Maps don't work.
The Maps of Europe won't fit on a CD as they are larger than 1GB.
I'm sorry to say that it is a fact of life that a lot of what is bought there, GPS related, is not kosher.

With the remote chance you bought a legit DVD, then it would be TTNav6 DVD. Then it explains why these maps don't show up with Nav5. But this DVD also includes the TTN6 application.
