|
|
Folks,
TomTom Home 2.7.2.1825 is trying to install map 835.2419 (Western & Central Europe - unsimplified), Home reports it as 2098MB.
I'm already moved the US maps onto an SD card so currently internal memory is 2.13GB used, 1.60GB free.
Whenever I try to install the new map I get an error indicating that there isn't enough space, and it seems to think that it needs another 2.4GB (actually, the detailed error message seems to imply in needs 6GB in total which is larger than the onboard memory...)
Any ideas? I've not had this problem before... perhaps manual extraction is the way to get around it?
Ta in advance. |

This is probably down to a bug in the current version of Home.
Irrespective of where you select as the place to store the new map, Home tries to install it to BOTH the internal memory and the SD card.
Mike Alder has already done a write-up of this in another topic, with instructions on how to manually extract and install the map files.
See if you can find it, before I do! |

I think its time this was written up fully and added to the FAQ page to be honest as its going to be occuring more and more as the maps keep getting that bit larger each time - Something to do for later tonight when there is nothing but rubbish on TV - Mike |

Actually, I don't think it is; just to check I tried it with the SD card out and got the same error.
However, doing it manually showed up the real problem. The zip file was oddly corrupt; Windows could open it and you could select all the files and do a copy & paste, but it would silently fail out half-way through. If you tried to do an "Extract" on it it would tell you instantly that it was corrupt.
I think Home in this case got the same unexpected error during the extraction, and it was being misreported as a space problem.
Redownloading (again and again, as the TomTom map servers seem to be incredibly unreliable).
Thanks folks, it might not have been the expected problem but I think we've got there in the end! |
