Hi there,

Could anyone help me? I want to use TT3 map with TT5 ? Are they compatible?

Thanks.

Will this work with the maps for Europe, i.e. Iberia, France, Italy etc. Just a thought because I would still like to use my france and German maps voiding more costly purchase? thanks in advance - Mike

It's a tradeoff - you will have to know if you can live with the old maps.

Disclaimer: You need to have bought TTN5 legally to be able to use it with older maps.

Many thanks, its the first time iv'e had to open one of the TT files, I used word pad and it displayed the following:
ID=Iberia.PNA
1363885633
281

I assume it is the 281 that you change to 562- or do I need something more exotic to open the file with? - I will live with the maps for the time being as I seldom need them its better than nothing at all!!

Cheers
Mike

OK just tried it with my map of France, edit the PNA file and saved it, put the map on the SD card and run up TT5 on my XDAIIs, GB map is fine, go to swich maps, and it only displays the Great Britain, no France to select any further thoughts?? cheers mike

I POSTED THIS QUESTION A FEW WEEKS BACK. The answer I got was you could only edit the pna file if you were going from version 4 to 5. If you wish to go from 3 to 5 you need the mid file from the version 4 of the maps

I think some people got 4.X maps working with TT3 with a bit of help from some grey area utilities, half way solution?

"TomTom GO" GP maps work with TT3 (or at least some do).
