My Brother has had his Tomtom one V2 with europe maps stolen but has backed up his card.
Can his maps be loaded on to my card & used in my Tomtom which is a Tomtom V1.

Technically yes
Legaly debatable. (and has been, endlessly)

I thought so.
The thing is that I don't use my Tomtom much but he uses his everyday.

I say just go ahead and try it. You will be asked for an activation code, but if it has been more than 6 months since the last activation, then ttcode.com should give it to you.

As to the question of whether Navteq or Teleatlas made the maps, are you sure about this, Binman? I believe they work on all units. It's not like they are in different formats. I own the latest Europe and North American maps, and they both work on my TT ONE v1.

You can run the NT or TA maps on the devices, but you need the all important activation code to get it working - the application is seperate to the map data - Mike

I may be wrong then (I suppose it was inevitable eventually) but neither a V2 Euro SD card nor a Rider GB SD card both at v6.520 will run in a V1, Classic or 300 & all give the same No Maps Found display.

It never gets as far as asking for activation.
