The W&CE map is supposedly more detailed than the WE mapset (I recall a thread discussing how the previous version of the WE map had been 'simplified' to fit on a 1Gb card). Yes, if you go to TomTom's website and it thinks you have a TT1 (and quite a few other devices) it won't show the W&CE map as a viable choice. Pretending your device is a 920 will show the choice.

Another thread discussed which map is compatible with which device and as I recall this W&CE map would certainly work on my TT1.

Yes, right, problem is, if the W&CE map can only be downloaded **and installed** via TTHome, which knows I have a TT1.....er, how do I acquire said map?

Good point ! Home does not seem to check for the amount of memory you have installed, but rather the amount of memory that came with the device from the factory

I have installed a 2GB SD in addition to the on board 720 memory. Is this just additive, or is there still some switch between inbuilt and SD ?

With an SD card installed, connect to HOME and it'll give you the option of which memory location to use.

Select the SD card and then install you chosen map.


Once you load up the tomtom, all the maps are shown regardless of location.

I've just bought this map , and installed it , and i'm dissapointed to see that this map still hasn't had the road changes in the center of Bristol (due to a new shopping center ) , but with my friends Rider with map 675 (navteq) it's all been changed .... Looks like i've bought the wrong map Sad

Just noticed something, I have had my 720 much more than the 30 days and still being offered by Home to upgrade for free, not sure why?

Still having the same problem as Scainer that after installing it on 720 it will not run and will only get Canary Islands map only.

You need to go into 'Manage Maps' and change to Europe.

Have a look at the map folder using Windows Explorer and see if there is a file with the extension of .dct in the folder, if it is missing your map needs activation, for this you will need to contact TomTom support (0845 161 0009) - Mike

You do mean Western Europe maps, not Central Europe?

Well, after mine downloaded and installed, i could only see the Canary Islands too. But when i went into 'change preferences', 'manage maps', i could see both Canary and Europe maps.So i chose Europe and it worked fine. Did you delete the old map before installing the new one?

If you bought your maps at the end of Oct then you should be under the new map guarantee. Go into Home, plug in device, and click on File, map guarantee. It will tell you whether you are entitled
