 Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2007 3:00 pm Post subject: How to load maps onto Tom Tom 700 |
 |
|
This may already be somewhere on the forum but I am having difficulty loading North American Maps onto my TomTom 700.
Going to the States on Monday and really want SatNav with me as I am driving around a lot.
Does anybody know how to do this or where I can find out?
Thanks |

In what way are you having difficulty?
Are you getting error messages, or not able to do something?
We'll need a bit more info to get you up and running.

Where are you getting the North American map folder from? A legitimate install would come on CD/DVD?

| It is on a DVD but it does not install it'self and the Tom Tom does not have enough memory to hold the Western Europe and North American maps at the same time.. |

You would normally use HOME to Install the Maps. I don't think it is just a case of Drag and Drop from the Disc.

Odd, I have both sets of maps at once installed on my TT Go 700. 4gb of space is plenty, no?
It may be that it needs a software update however. As the latest maps dont work without the latest software. At least they didnt here anyway.
While im here.. I installed them manually. No home software. Worked a treat. |

Odd indeed. Are we talking about the same device. The 700 came with a 1.7GB Hard Drive, assuming that there are no country specific differences.
Do you mean the 710?
