Tom Tom 510

[p3ryg]

I have a 510 with the original SD card, I tried loading some of the extra, ie voices & POI, but came up not enough memory, so I had a spare 2gb SD card and did a copy and paste from the original to the new card.

All works fine until I get to bit where you select the map and it asks me to activate it. I have the product code and device code but surely I should not need to do this? The original card had already been activated from when I bought the unit new.

I did try to acivate it as requested but did not know how to put spaces in the activation code on the 510.

Any help much welcome.

Thanks

Hi...

Unlikely as it may seem, this is not a map or memory card problem - this is a 510 flash memory problem!

There is a 'fix' on the Tom Tom site that clears down the 510's flash memory and solves the problem. If you cannot find it, email me and I will send it to you - file is around 1.4mb and called "ttgo510-710.clear_flash.exe"

I had the exact same problem and this little booty sorted it.

Happy New Year!

....and if you ever DO need to input an Activation Code you don't need the spaces.

Connect your 510 to computer, Double click the downloaded .exe file and follow the on screen instructions.
