As TomTom are now selling TTG maps on an SD card separately (at 149 euros) I am enquiring which map is being shipped on the SD card. I will report back.... |

Just keeps getting more and more interesting...
How do you find out what version is on the CD. I'd like to look and see what is in mine.
Any advice please

TomK | Just search on the CD for a file called Great_Britain.ini. Open it and look for a line like this:
; toolchain version 390
This is apparently the map version number. |

|
|
In you're using a Windows PC, browse the CD (in other words choose the "Explore" option when you right-click on the CD-ROM drive icon in My Computer) - if it auto runs, choose the TomTom menu "Quit" > "tick" option first.
Find the folder called nvuk\MAP\GB. In that folder is a file called Great_Britain.INI
Double-click that file - it should open in Notepad - and look at the third and fourth line down:
Component = Map
; toolchain version 390
This entry seems to correspond with the map version displayed in the TomTomGo's "About" screen.

Thanks ZUKE & ZZBeard mission accomplished
Now that I've established that I have 390 on the CD and 314 on the SD card... How do I get 390 onto the SD card

This is not quite as straightforward as one would like. If possible, back up the whole SD card to your PC somewhere first.
Unfortunately, the 390 map folder that the CD installs is called Great_Britain-Map, but the map folder on the 314 card is called Great-Britain-Map.
So unless you have a large SD card, you will have to get the CD to uninstall your 314 GB map first - a not-unreasonable step - which will leave behind your favourites and home location data still in the folder called Great-Britain-Map. Then you ask the CD to install the GB map again, and it puts it all into a new folder that is called Great_Britain-Map.
When you have done this, and re-started the TTG, it will find the new map, but it probably won't have been registered, so TTG will tell you to go to the ttcode registration web site and type in the product code number on the back of the CD sleeve, and the device code of the TTG itself, which is also given in the About TomTom GO screen. You are then given another map validation code which the TTG waits for you to input. Finally the new map is ready to use...
But - your favourites and home data are still in the old folder, so what you do is copy the Great-Britain-Map.ini file from the old folder to the new one that has all the new map data in it, via the USB link and Windows Explorer.
Then - you have to delete the existing new Great_Britain-Map.ini file and RENAME the file you copied in, from Great-Britain-Map.ini to Great_Britain-Map.ini
Fun - innit!
Then - it should all work.

I also have a CD with V314, and would like to know the differences between the two GB map versions v314 and v390.
I would be more than willing to test the "new" version to see what differences I can find.
Can anyone with a CD containing v390 place the GB image somewhere where others could access them ?
Thanks,
TTG MapReader |

Your desire to find out the differences between 314 and 390 is appreciated, however please do not use this forum for the coordination of illegal activities. _________________ Lutz

Would you two (Oz and Gingernut) please take your fight elsewhere. You are entitled to your free opinion, no matter if founded or not, but please stop calling each other names. We need people answering questions, not waving fists. _________________ Lutz

Thanks ZZBeard I'll give it a trial. one question though regarding your instructions.
If you move the old .ini file in and replace the new one with this will you not lose the map version number in the new .ini file?
Thanks again

...just change the tool chain number to to 390... that way you can kid yourself in to believing that you have the latest version! |
