Hello everyone,

Need some help for a friend of mine. Had a good search of the forums, but can't find the answer.

She bought a TT one, in the UK (with UK maps) and then moved to France, so she wants to have the French maps.

She's purchased the French maps on SD card, and a 1gb card so she can fit both maps on one card.

What is the procedure for installing the French maps on the 1gb card? She thought it would be as easy as copying the files across. She can see that the French maps are on the new card, but the TT says "no maps found"

I'm suspecting she has to do something with her activation key that came with the French maps??

Thanks in advance,

Nathan

You should only need the activation key if the GO asks for it.

Copying across should work. Sometimes the GO loses the link to the maps. Recommended action is to copy the whole SD card to your PC and then copy it back again after clearing the SD card.

If you are asked for the activation code. Go to www.ttcode.com You enter the code that came with the new map. This is the Product Code, not the activation code, and also enter the Device Code (from the GO - Prefs/Show Version). You will get an activation code.

You will need a different activation code for each map.

You need a different Activation Code for each Product Code but you may have several maps in a single Product Code, such as Maps of Western Europe.
