Lost Map

I've just bought a Go 300 and playing with the PC I've managed to delete the UK map without making a backup! The map files don't seem to be on the CD and I can't find anywhere to download them!
Can anyone help please?

Hi if you are running windows xp have a look in your documents as when i connected my TTG 300 for the first time it saved a copy there for me,file name will be your product code of the tomtom. the only other way is to contact tomtom.

Only other chance is to check your Trash folder. You could have copy in there. If not, TomTom are the only people who can help.

Hasn't someone got a backup they would email me?

I'm new to this game, but I think only the map you were issued with will work on your machine. If I am correct it is to prevent people from copying and distributing maps.

I don't know but it's worth a try.

As you have a product code, a copy of a map that is covered by that product code will work.

Actually you can use a backup from wherewer you want.

Find a friend and copy the content on his card into your SD-card.

I have done this in simmilar cases with my own customers and it works great.

Remember that the activation happens with your productcode and a copy of the maps is no good without it.

The activationcode etc is stored inside the GO itself, not on the SD-card, but your GO know what map it is activated for.
