The situation is that you've bought something which the seller was not entitled to sell, it's the same as the dodgy DVDs and CDs in the pub or boot sale. With the difference that this one won't work legitimately - you simply can't take it home and play it because TomTom have incorporated anti piracy measures. Just like the DVDs and CDs, copy maps are piracy, plain and simple. It has taken a couple of posts for the situation to be clarified, so some of us have reacted in our normal manner regarding piracy. The enquiry is generally the innocent claiming to be having difficulty installing his new map. We rarely, if ever, jump into the piracy mode right off. Nevertheless, we won't help anybody to support piracy and this includes the innocent victims - just as the police will confiscate stolen goods from anybody who buys them. To be honest, if you search through my posts you will find that if/when I get going on the piracy theme, I'm a lot more vicious than anything you've seen in this thread.

Down to basics. You can't copy maps from one device to another, otherwise TomTom's map sales would not happen after the first one was bought and copied. Your "mate" had to know it when he sold you this one, otherwise he wouldn't have added more information.

The legal way to get a map is to purchase and download it over a broadband connection from the TomTom website, www.tomtom.com. The UK and ROI map your mate sold you will cost £40, the proper Western and Central Europe map will be £70.

You have to accept your loss and go to TomTom if you want a newer map. If you need guidance on how to go about that, we'll be happy to help. But to be honest, any more trying to get help here with the map you bought will only give people the idea that you really did know what you were doing when you bought it and simply can't follow the instructions or didn't get enough of them to crack the security coding. The new map you've got is barely a week old, it's not secondhand quality. You are stretching our credibility in asking us to believe your mate sold his TT device, sold you a new map and emigrated to Australia all within the last week. Confused
