No. The map is locked to your original device and could not be activated on the 520. And as you have replaced it with a 520 you will neither have enough room on the internal memory nor be licensed to do so.

A new map could go on an SD card though.

Also, as you can change map activation after six months, would it be worth a try? (Assuming Chris still has the product code card).

Thanks for your replies guys, much appreciated....good news though,the TT720 has since been recovered.

Lucky you DIDN'T manage to swap ownership of the map with TT then.
You'd NEVER have managed to get them to put it back as it was again!! Laughing

Crikey that has to be a first! Excellent news though.

If he did swap ownership, of the original map, THEN the old TomTom was recovered, he would be running the same map on two devices, so whats stopping other people trying it, and trying to put maps on their friends/families sat navs?

In one word "Honesty" and the fact that any further upgrades would be messed up by doing this, you would be found out eventually - Mike
