Official answer: The maps from the GO do not work on the TTN for Pocket PCs.

i realise thats the "official" answer ....
but there must be a way ???
sure i read on here somewhere somebody had already done ...
made my own install program renaming the new files but the TT3 program would not use as i am guessing the file size was wrong..
need to pad some how ?
oh well , i'll keep on trying , thanks anyway ....
cheers

I thought the official answer was that you could do it as long as you owned both TomTom Go and TomTom Navigator 3? I've done it on mine.
| Dave wrote: | TomTom's official response (from the directors) are:-
1) TomTom do not have a problem if both products were paid for by yourself.
2) TomTom do have issue if you have TTN3 and your friend has GO and you share maps between you. When you buy GO or TTN3 you are also purchasing a single user license to the supplied map data. This license is non transferable. When we do map updates we pay an update royalty to TeleAtlas.
3) TomTom cannot make the updated maps available for download via the internet because they are generally too big for download and TomTom would incur an upgrade royalty liability on each upgrade that was downloaded.
So, if you have both products legally license, you are okay to swap maps between GO and TTN3. If you don't, you're taking matters into your own hands and it's illegal! |

Wilko, the original post clearly states that mostin does not own both products. Hence the answer.
