Opening a TomTom 1 case

I've just bought a TomTom 1 - How do I open the case to replace batteries or cards ? - There's no screws visible.
Nothing mentioned in the manual (unsurprisingly)

The battery is rechargable. You don't 'replace' unless it's faulty - even then you should get it replaced under warranty.

The newest One units (with the big circular 'easyport' mount) only has internal memory. It doesn't have an SD card slot.

The newer units use internally mounted flash memory which cannot be upgraded at all, if you really need Western Europe all you can do is sell the device and buy the other devices with the more comprehensive map.

Or you could purchase a single country map and just install thet when you need it, for example if you were going to France you could remove the UK Map and put France on it - Mike

There is plenty of room on the internal memory even on the UK version.

The UK mapping version has 1GB. With the UK map installed as standard and some other poi's I still have 817MB free.
