XL Live

Can some one tell me how I can put the GPS World Speed Camera's onto my new XL Live as the format seems to differ from my old unit

First of all - good choice of device

Unzip the file you have downloaded and copy all of the .ov2 and .bmp files into your map directory on your TT (Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB).

Do a full Windows Explorer backup before you do anything else!

Thank you, that seemed to work OK, my problem was that tomtom home loaded and I was trying to do it via that not directly to the device. Thanks once again

Get the backup done and then use HOME to upgrade to 8.419 (latest release for the XL LIVE) and then use Latest Map Guarantee to upgrade your maps to 845.

Also, see the sticky about postcode files and upgrade those to 845 as well - download the zip fie, extract it and overwrite the 4 files in your zip folder on your TT with the 4 in the zip file.

Navcore 9 shouldn't be too far away now for us XL LIVE users - if you can't wait you can always install 9.026 for the XL IQ Routes - I even have a fix for getting TTS (Text to Speech) working with 9.026 - see this thread for details.

As a general rule, try to use Home as little as possible - only for buying new maps and software updates.

Just about everything else can be done better and easier by simple copy and paste routines in Windows Explorer (or the Mac equivalents).

The most important thing is your BACKUPS. These are really essential and should always be done with Explorer not Home.

In Home, there is a preferences option NOT to let it start up when you plug the XL into the computer. I suggest you use it! You can run it from the Start menu like any normal program.
