I have done that. And tomtom still asks me to enter codes. Dont know what else to do. I have to wait for the company to maybe give me the activation code but i really dont think that they will do that. Maybe my scandianavian map is too old. There is no mds file on it.
Once again please if someone will send me system files from your SD. I have the map that i need.
I just want to try if that will work. Is that too much to ask.?

What are you talking about all the time? mds file? There is no mds file.

It doesn't sound like have even attempted to install version 5.1 - can you please do that before you retry.

You may have a unit where the internal antenna has blown (not surprising for a demo unit) and you may see better reception with an external antenna.

Lastly a warning. One more mention of map downloads and this thread gets locked.

Im just asking if somebody could help me. I have purchesed my card legally eventhough there are copies on thepiratebay and emule. Just wanted to do this the "right" way instead of going on the warez sites and downloading everything instead. If you cant help me then im just gonna sell it to someone else and you will have same disscussion over again and nobody wants that.

As I can see people on this thread are trying to help you, and suggest all the right things. Don't you want to follow their advice?

I have a nasty suspicion that he is referring to the crack which was available for one of the Navigator versions (I think it was TTN2). Apparently you had to replace this "mdf" file with a cracked version.

If you bought a legitimate SD card with Scandinavia map it should work with your TTG out of the box. If you are having problems with activation codes (BTW, what exactly does it say when it "doesn't work"?), talk to TomTom. Their customer support is not brilliant, but they do get there in the end most of the times.

Even with the crack there is no mdf file. That was with a mid file, and doesn't apply to TTN5 anyhow.

I have original swedish map so i dont need cracked version. The problem is that I cant upgrade my tomtom to latest version and my tomtom cant find any satellites with the current version (i hope that ive got software problem and not hardware)

I have talked with the store where i bought my map and there is nothing they can do. According to them the map should work and they cant take it back. We'll see how tomtom is gonna help me. New antenna should arrive next week. Maybe that will fix the satellite problem.

A factory card should not need an upgrade, but if the previous owner had problems and re-formatted the card and re-loaded the software... then it probably isn't recognised as a factory card. If so, it will probably need a product code and activation code after you upgrade the system to version 5.

I was affraid that there is a hardware problem..few questions....1) what does it says on your tomtoms when you turn it on...thats before you get satellites..Is it No GPS device! or something else...2) has anyone tryed the demo card..does it work like the "real" one...3) is there someone who had problems with satellites that was fixed as soon as you upgraded...
tnx..

When you turn it on you would normally be in the Navigator view, i.e. you would see a map with an arrow in the middle of the screen. It could be either 3D or 2D view. If you don't have a map it would say "No map found". It would say "No GPS device" for a few seconds, but then it will disappear.
