French maps & GB maps on one sd card

Hi, I've copyed my frence-map dir to my SD card with my GB-maps but tomtom cannot see the french map.
Now like a pl*nker I've left everything at home so I cannot check what else I need to do to get tt to see the map.

Can any one help me?

Hi dreaddan
Oh dear! The way that your message read it sounds as though you are already in France. Anyway, I also have both the French and England maps on my card and everything works ok.

If I want to change maps I just go to ‘Change Preferences’ / ‘Switch Map’ and Bingo!

I go to France quite often and so don’t need Tomtom to get me to Dover and the last thing I do before leaving home is to switch TT5 on briefly and switch maps there and then, just to play safe. Are you in France?

Luckerly I'm still in the uk but at work.
I have tryed to go to 'Change Preferences’ / ‘Switch Map’ but it only comes up with the gb map.

It's possable it's not copyed correctly but I guess I'll have to pop home to pick up everything for a reinstall is in order. I guess it's something to do while sitting in the airport!

Hi dreaddan
After giving it a bit of thought I’m sure that the problem that you describe has been on this forum before. I can’t think what the answer was but as you are still in the UK I have no doubt that we will find it.

In regard to copying maps etc to SD card. I have an Acer and have found that if maps etc are copied to the card via a card reader and not activesync that it takes a soft reset to ensure the 'new' information is read by the PDA.
Try this before resorting to re-installs etc
Regards and have a safe trip :D

dreaddan: are they the same version maps ? Is the map of France older than that of the UK?

You haven't put the french map inside the great britain map have you??

Just thought I'd put my idea in there!!

Just wanted to say thanks for the posts.
I'm not 100% on why it didnt pick up the maps, reinstalled TT + 5.21 patch, recopyed the maps and it's all working now.
I'm alittle baffled but never mind.
Thanks
Dan
