I am getting lost with my own questions here. What i am trying to determine is that i have 2 maps on my computer. these are
1: Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland
Detailed map of Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland. Includes
Wales, Sco... More info...
2: United Kingdom And Republic Of Ireland
More info...
I have both of these on my computer in TT Home under the Maps. The first one has the little picture of a map which you have but i also have the second one in the root of my TomTom also. Both of them are version 710 and thats why i think you somehow dont have it downloaded. Hope this makes sence. ![Confused](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif) _________________ NEW Tomtom GO 500 (hope it is good)

Sorry to leap in here - not a Go expert at all - but isn't the reply above significant?
V562 isn't supported beyond V6 of the application is it? So it wouldn't appear in the Change Maps dialogue even though it is physically present on the unit.
Or have I missed the point of the original qustion? If so I apologise now ![Confused](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif) _________________ Phil |

I'm even more confued...
I've only got one map (UK&I) on my computer. The GB Map was already installed on my TomTom when I bought it 18 months ago and I haven't got that one copied onto my PC, although it's still on my original SD card that I'm not using now (had to buy a new one to fit the new map onto!).
According to Explorer, on my PC I have got a folder called "GreatBritainandtheRepublicofIreland" which contains (amongst other things" a file called "United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland.zip" - this is new UK&I map that I have just bought from TomTom. This is the map that HOME says in installed on my TomTom (with the original GB map as well) but I can't switch to using TomTom preferences - preferences only shows the original GB map available to switch to.
Hope I haven't confused anyone so far!! |

I think the new map has overwrote the old one. As Dennis said earlier hap you tried tapping the screen at thesignal strengh bar and then tapping the version 7.xxx and looking at the 5th line down where it lists your map with the version number. What is the version number you see. _________________ NEW Tomtom GO 500 (hope it is good)

All input appreciated!!! Application version is 6.520 - GB map v562.0 is the one that the TomTom device is showing as being used. UK&I map (710) is not available to "switch to" using preferences although HOME says that it's installed on the device.
I downloaded the "latest application" and this (v6.520) is the one that was installed on the device. |

Version shows as 6.520 not 7.xxx - is this the problem?
I'm just backing up my device again and am thinking of deleting both the GB and UK&I maps and then seeing if a later version of the application is downloaded - any thoughts on this? |

That is your problem. In order to install a v710 map you have to be running a v7.xx application. Do an update and install the latest version then your map should upload ok. ![Wink](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) _________________ NEW Tomtom GO 500 (hope it is good)

i think if you are running app ver 6.152 it wont recognise maps ver 710 you have to upgrade your system to app ver 7
Also you say there is a zip file in the directory this would have to be unzipped otherwise the software cant read it.

How do I do this? TomTom HOME downloaded what is says is the latest version and that's what I've got! Can I delete the application using my tomtom device and then download a new version |

Make sure you have a back-up first. Yes try removing the application and then do another update, _________________ NEW Tomtom GO 500 (hope it is good)

ALL SORTED
Deleting the old map and the Application and then re-installing the application gave me v 7.162. Re-0installing the UK&I map then worked!!
Thanks to everyone for ideas, support and help. |
