You could try a file recovey program. The best one I found was from a company called R studio. You should try google for them and then download a free limited use version and see if it works.

Good Luck.

With your TomTom connected to your computer, you can browse the card's contents using Windows Explorer. It will show up as a new hard drive.

Check to see if the map folder is there and if it not empty.

If you deleted the map while using Home, then immediate use of a file recovery program, as was suggested by Bruggen, might save you.

If non of the recovery options work and you have managed to wipe the card the following might be the only course of action available:

You will need to contact TomTom there phone number is 08451610009 you will probably have to provide proof of purchase as well by fax/ email etc.

When you get the card sorted and the device is working correctly please make sure you take a full back-up of the contents, it makes recovery action so much easier - Mike

Go HERE and download RECUVA, it's free and it works in most cases.
