Assuming you bought the maps legally through tomtom home, this program automatically installs and activates the map for you. _________________ Tomtom GO 1005 LIVE

Each map will reside in its own folder, the installation and activation via TomTom Home will create the correctly named folder and necessary files on the device - Mike |

Yes, the files for speed cameras all go in the same folder when you are wanting UK and European coverage - Mike |

Alicante is definately on my Western Europe maps -
Try looking up co-ordinates N38.34252 W0.48751 -
Thats the location of my fav ( but expensive ) car park!
Are you sure you dont have any other maps installed - such as Uk & ROI ? - Go to the Manage Maps / Switch Maps option to see what maps you have installed.
Good Luck!

Presuming you've had to update the software in order to use the new map, you might have to get used to a slightly different "search" method it uses now.
When you go to Navigate to.../ Address (or Browse map/Find/Adress) you get a small county flag on the right of the screen (usually the Union Jack). To select an address in another country you need to tap the flag and choose a country first.
This was done to speed up the search by restricting it to one country.
Sorry if you knew all that... I'm just trying to think why you can't "find" Alicante.
Doing the above should find it OK. |
