New Map Release Date After V815 Confirmed By TomTom

unfortunately for me i downloaded tomtom 8.15 maps an hour before the home recognised 8.25 maps so as soon as my download was complete and reconnected to home it said a newer map was available. I rang tomtom up and they said unfortunately i had the latest maps at the time of connection under the LMG and i could purchase 8.25 if i wished to do so.

How annoying is that though, soon as your new map update finishes you get a message saying there is a newer map available Sad

Not impressed but i suppose just the way the cookie crumbles...

LIke some others I bought the years subs for maps... but a problem, I received the email to say there is a new map to download... but it will not install, throws up an error about a file is in the archive that should not be there!!!

ERROR: DesktopLib/InstallToDevice/GetInstallable/InvalidFile: The archive file contains this file: pna.log
The file should not be part of this archive:

I've contacted TT and just waited on a reply, I also auto reported it but of course its done anon so I won't get a reply via that means...

So what happens if you open up the compressed file, see if one of the files in the .cab (or .zip) is pna.log and, if it is, remove from the .cab and then try to install?

Hi dhn,
Tried that, its a cab file and there is no option to allow you to delete it, that was the first thing I tried as done it before with other files...

What if you expand the cab file so that you have all the individual files. Then compress all the files again **except** for that file. Wouldn't that accomplish the same thing?

Hi, I've no idea as I don't have anything to compress it again as a cab file.

I really want to know why that file is there and where it come from, I used TT home to download it and I assume that has come from TT like that.

Download the trial version of WinRAR if its worth pursuing.

WinRar will extract files from CAB downloads, it is my prefered choice of software for any unzipping of files on the PC as it offers the best options - Mike

Once you have de-compressed the download using WinRar why do you need to re-compile it? Extract the files to a known loaction on the PC then copy them straight to the device using Windows Explorer, or extract the files directly to the TomTom device - Mike
