Afraid not. The installation process 'locks' the map to a specific device. Even 2 devices of the same model can't share maps, letalone 2 devices of differing models. _________________ David |

Even if the maps are not locked (which they are), they are created in a different way so it would not work.
But why would you want to run such old maps anyway |

I got one of my old French maps (6.75) to work on my Go530. When I put it on the 530, I was asked to activate it, I used the serial number in the box, the device code and it registered and activated on the TT web site just like it used to on the PDA. I only want this map as a backup in case I get any issues with the 940 in France. _________________ Drivelux |
