No room for new map on TTOne V1

As its says... I have a TT1 V1 Europe edition, with the European map. I purchased an updated map recently, but when I come to load it, even after deleting the existing (original) map, I have insufficient space on the TT1 drive. Even deleting non-essentials (including Dutch postcodes) there still isn't enough room. What can I do?

What size SD Card do you have?

Also which European Map have you Downloaded?

.... and deleting un-used Voice Files will release most memory.

At present I'm not using an SD card, so I was wondering if I could just install the replacement map (Western Europe, an update of the original one) on an SD card - would the TT just pick it up, I can't seen anything in the manual that says I have to tell it where to look? I presumably would still need to delete the original map from the device. And what about my PGPSW camera database that resides in the Western Europe folder?

I only have the 2 original voice files, and deleting one gets me 0.7Mb. Dutch postcodes get me more - but not enough. And I might one day need them!

Are you certain about which Device you have.

A TT One V1 only had an SD Card. The only Device with out an SD Card is the XL. Confused

I have a TT One "European" edition - not XL, the device is about a year old.

It has an SD card slot.

I downloaded the TT "recommended" update.

The original map was Western Europe at 907.8Mb
The updated Western Europe map is 930.7Mb

I have 10Mb of TT1 application, o.7Mb POI, 1.3Mb voices, 0.1Mb quickGPSfix, 0.4Mb Phone settings, 11.3Mb Postcodes and 4.8Mb Satelite imagery making (with map) 957.9Mb presently on the device.

Total free space 18.4Mb, which is some 12Mb too little when I swap the maps.

So yes, I'm sure what device I have. Can I use the SD card for any of the apps presently on the device so I can utilise the larger map file?

Leaving aside the issue of which Device you have, if you load an SD Card with the application and Maps it should boot from that when it is inserted.

IIRC it is either one or the other, not both.

There must be something else filling up your Internal Memory if you only have 18.4MB Free.

Are you looking at the Unused Space with Windows Explorer and Drive Properties, or the Free memory as reported by the Device on the Version Information Page? They are not the same thing.

908MB for the Map plus some 29MB for the running Extras, plus a few other files should leave you with 50MB or so.

The device in question is probably one of These it does say 1GB of internal memory, but I wonder if it fell short and actually has less onboard? can you connect it to the PC and using Windows Explorer right click the device and select properties, what is the actual reported size - Mike

So

It's a TomTom ONE New Edition Western Europe

958Mb according to Explorer (1,004,650,496 bytes) plus it has an SD card slot (as per the pics in the link posted)

Reported as Tom Tom One V4 by Explorer

Driver version 6.0.6000.16386

4N00.005

C_No: Z14047H01986.

Really all I need to know is can I put maps or apps on the SD card? If not I'll have to brave TT support and see if I can get my money back, or if they have another solution.

You can put the app and maps onto an SD card and the device will then boot from the card, you need all the files from the internal flash memory on to the SD card for this to work.

Have a read through This which details upgrading to a larger card, in your case you are simply copying the files/ folders from the internal Flash store to the PC, then copy them to a larger card.

Don't be tempted to grab a cheap card though as they have a habit of not working, read speed is very imprtant, get one at least 150x and 2GB capacity, it would appear that the internal Flash memory is not actually 1GB then from the figures you have stated - Mike
