Hi everyone, I have a problem with my navigator 5 I bought from Tomtom and everything works fine with great britain map, I then bought from ebay the maps for europe on a cd with all the maps downloads and instructions, the trouble is following the instruction to a "T" it will not show the maps. As I am a silver surfa and not very good at computers I just wonder if there is anyone out there that could put me on the right path to get these installed. Many thank scubspitfire

Which is probably why the Maps don't work.

The Maps of Europe won't fit on a CD as they are larger than 1GB.

I'm sorry to say that it is a fact of life that a lot of what is bought there, GPS related, is not kosher.Sad

With the remote chance you bought a legit DVD, then it would be TTNav6 DVD. Then it explains why these maps don't show up with Nav5. But this DVD also includes the TTN6 application.
