"Invalid archive" message when trying update WE ma

Thanks for that Andy. I have a ticket open with TT Support at present but I think I'll have to get on the phone soon. I prefer to use email though because you have a proper written record. AndyVaughan suggested the server might be timing out but if yours took so long, but was successful, it probably isn't that.

I'm away Thursday until Monday so perhaps I'll keep trying & see how I get on until then.

Update on my problem. My office IT department let me use a computer here last night and Home tells me that WE 715 downloaded & installed successfully. So the problem must be with my computer setup at home.

BUT the device now won't see the map. Going to Switch Map, the Canary Islands is the only option. I have done both a reset with a paper clip (which turned the device off but I had to turn it on again normally, is that correct) & restored factory settings.

I had the original WE map on the SD card and now when I use explorer to view it there is still a folder called Western_Europe which still contains all my POIs so is that still the original or does the update overwrite the files?

There is also a 2Kb folder called maps containing a file also called Western_Europe and I think the extension is .ast but I'm not certain as I'm working from memory and can't look at it again at present.

Before I deleted the download from the office computer, I also asked it to install the map to the device but that hasn't helped.

Now when I try "Use map guarantee" Home tells me that I have the latest map.

Does anyone have any answers to this please? Otherwise I'll have to move the updated map to my computer and reinstall the original v7.05.1480.

Edited. - I started a new topic http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=396569#396569 after posting this because I think the problem is now significantly different. Alopogies for a double post
