Can I use Navigator 5 Europe maps with TT ONE

Stevie43_uk

Hi,
I've just recently bought a Tom Tom ONE and it is amazing.
That Sirfstar 111 chip locks on to satellites inside the house !!

I previously had Navigator 5 on my PDA for which I have the 6 cd set of Western Europe maps.

Question is, can I download these maps from CD to a 1gb SD and use this in my TT ONE.

yes, if you haven't activated them

Even if you have activated them you should still be able to activate them again on your ONE.

Anyway my advise is give it a try, worst thing that can happen is that it doesn't work and you end up with an SD card which you can use for something else.

Hi

Thanks for your replies

Unfortunately I have already activated the CD maps for use with my PDA. I can copy the map files to my PC from the CD set, but I cant copy it to my TT ONE SD card as it is too small.

I have now obtained a larger SD card, but I cant copy the info off the smaller TT ONE SD card onto the larger SD card to allow me to copy the map data to. Also tried a SD reader/writer but cannot copy from my PC to the new card as it is presumably locked. (Hope this makes sense !!!)

It bugs me to think I have to spend more money for something I have already previously shelled out for !!! One of the reasons I got the TT ONE was for its compatibility, which it seems does not apply.

Any comments welcome

Hi I've copied the back up to a temp folder on my pc, but it wont let me copy the temp folder to the SD card.

I'll try backing up from the TT to the SD card direct and see what happens

Cheers for the help....if you can think of anything else let me know

No it does not make sense. I have exactly the same setup as you do, and I did exactly the same thing two hours ago as you were trying to do. I have TomTom Navigator which I used on my PDA, then bought TT One, and had to buy a larger SD card because the Scandinavia maps do not fit on the card that came with TT One which contained the UK map.

I copied everything except the map from the SD card which came with TT One onto the new SD card. I then added the Scandinavia maps from the TT Navigator 5 CD set onto the new SD. I inserted the SD into TT One and turned it on. I got a message giving me the unit code and asking me to go to www.ttcode.com and activate the maps with the unit.

In www.ttcode.com you are asked to give the unit code and the product code of TT Navigator 5. I then got an activation code, which I entered into TT One and - voila, I was up and running!

You mentioned that your new SD card is locked, I assume that you have already tried the unlock switch on the side of the SD card?

RESULT !!!!

I backed up to a new file and added the maps - went through all the ttcode rigmarole and bingo - Ive managed to copy Benelux plus, France plus and Iberia plus to the existing map.

I would like to change Great Britain to Great Britain plus, but I'm chuffed with the result.....dont want to mess it up !!

Thanks all ....esp Mark
