If you did a backup before updating and a separate backup after then you can use either one to restore to your card. |

That is assuming both were full backups and both were working properly when you did them. |

As long as your map folder is safely backed up you can do the copy / transfer almost any way you want. The system software (incl older versions) is available for free download from TomTom and other sources.
I would just copy your latest version to the new card. _________________ TTGO 700 (dead)

Thanks to everybody for the Help.
I have just recieved my new Toshiba 256 Mb Sd card Reinstaled Backupp with no problems using the last update .exe file ( This opperates just like putting the Original Cd in same menu options ) The only problem i could see which could cause a problem was that the backupp files had to be in the original folder ie.. C: mydoc/tomtom it did not find the other backup i had made on my Desktop no option to choose another location to backup from.
Hope this info is of use to somebody.
