Updated mine today. They still haven't got ride of roundabouts in Rochdale that went years ago. Not at all happy - what did I pay for the map updates for?

I'm seriously thinking of changing to Garmin - at least their maps are more up to date (in the UK).

No.

That's a discount price when you buy the update package.

Hello. I have just had the same message as privateer. Downloaded the latest map and began the installation. After some time I was told that there wasn't enough space for the new map although there is loads on my sd card. When I checked on TT 720 it says I have 845.2645 which is the new one. Is it being installed on the internal memory as well as the sd card? When home starts I have the option to click on one or the other and always click the sd card. Have check the device without the card and it a much older map. I can not understand why the 720 shows the correct map after being told it failed. Any comments would be appreciated

There is a bug in the latest version of Home in that even if you select the card it'll try to install on internal and vice-versa in many cases.

Use Explorer and look at your specific map folder on the card. Look for a file with the extension of .pna and open with notepad. It'll show what version map is there.

Do the same with the .pna file in your map folder on the unit itself. Is it different? You are looking for the 845 value.

Also, while looking at the contents of the card, is your application installed on it as well as on internal? If so, the unit will boot to the card first. That may be why you see different versions of the map with and without the card installed. With the card it is seeing the map on the card. Without the card, if the app is also on internal, it's seeing the map on internal.

The bottom line is this: You obviously want the 845 map. If it is on the card, then you can remove the (presumably older) map folder from internal. I'd also just have one instance of the application so I'd remove the loose files (NO FOLDERS or their contents) from the card.

If your new map is on internal, then use Explorer to make a backup to your computer and then remove the older map version from the card, if there, and move the new map folder from unit to the card.

Thanks for that David. When I run the 720 without the card I get a message saying that my map is 8 months out of date so I assume that the update isn't on the unit only on the sd card. I will still do what you said anyway. Can I remove the old map from the unit and put the new one on? so that I have a backup should the sd card fail.

Yep, use Explorer to move the map.

Oh dear

I formated the internal drive and went to copy over the new map and get a warning that the drive is too small. How do I know what to leave out so that it fits!!!!!!!

Look in the specific map folder for a bunch of cspeechxx.dat files where XX is a 2 letter combo for various countries. These are used for Voice Recognition in those countries.

If you never plan to drive in certain European countries, you can move them to the computer for now. That will free up some space.

Also, remove any files you see in the raster folder. You really won't need them.
