Please forgive me if this is out of line but can someone direct me to a tutorial or advise on how to manually install a map on my GO720 without using TT Home.

I have version 8.010 software and have obtained version 805.1801 maps for North America. I currently have version 720 maps installed but would like to try to install version 8 to get my ALG and IQ routes working.

Ouch! Sounds dodgy to me.
Home does all the licence key unlocking of a purchased map to match it to your device.
If it's someone else's map it won't work on yours.

Ok thanks, I had a feeling it wasn't as easy as just copying and pasting a map file. Just checking. Embarassed
