 Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2008 2:15 pm Post subject: New TOMTOM ONE XL Help needed plz.. |
 |
|
Hi all,
Any chance someone can help me with this. I am used to using tomtom on my pda, but decided to go for a tomtom one xl over Xmas as a new toy.
The XL i have is the 4S00.007 with 512mb internal memory.
It is the UK and Rep Ire version.
I just want to add new maps to it using my 2gb Sandisk SD card. The maps i have are Western Europe latest ones, but when I format the SD card and copy the western Europe map folder across (approx 1gb) it doesnt recognise it in the XL, I get the insert a valid sd card screen.
Do i have to copy all the files from the Internal memory onto th eSD card so it recognises properly? If so do i then format the internal memory so its blank?
Many thanks in advance, its driving me mad, the PPC version im savvy with but this one im not.
Happy New Year all. |

Your best approach with this is to copy all the One XL's memory contents to the SD card, then put the new map on the memory card.
The One XL will only boot from either the internal memory OR the SD, it cannot use both storage mediums at the same time, if an SD card is inserted the device will boot from the card and ignore any files present in the Flash Memory - Mike |

All working now, i copied the entire contents of the internal memory to the SD card, as mentioned on the tomtom site if a SD card is inserted then it looks to that first (I've therefore left the original data on the internal ram too as a extra backup).
Just copied all my POIs across and they arent working although i can see them when i go into manage. Im gonna use the search button first before i post this time though. 
Thanks. |

If you can see them in manage POIs, you should be able to use them.
What's not working?
I'm sure you know this already, but:
To show them on the map you have to enable them. In "Browse Map view" use the "options" button at the bottom, then "POI" and select the ones you want to see.
You will also need to zoom in to see them all. When zoomed out it only shows a few at random.
To have them show up in driving view, you need to set them up in Change Preferences/Manage POI / Warn when near. |

They will also show on the Navigation Map if they are Enabled, but there will then be a slowing down of the Map redraw if too many are Enabled.

Yeah sorry, being vague... I meant "To have them show up flashing in the corner in driving view..." |
