No Maps Founds

[jesschoen]

I've been using tomtom 5 on a Palm TX for several months. It has been working fine as a GPS system although I have had only one map group installed (New England/Mid Atlantic)in the root directory of the SD card.

A couple of days ago, I wanted to add a map of Puerto Rico to the setup so I installed the PR map into the root directory of the SD card. Tomtom did not detect the PR map although it continued to detect the New England/MA maps. So I then moved both the PR map and the New England/MA maps into a TomTom directory on the SD card. From that point on, the software would not detect any maps whether in the TomTom directory or in the root directory. I have spent several hours trying to remedy this but without success. How does one get the software to again recognize the maps?

As far as I can tell the map location is in the file currentmap.dat but although I've used several backup versions of this file, the maps are still not detected.

Thanks for any help.

map folders have to be in the root of the SD card. Move them both back there, then delete the currentmap.dat, and delete the cfg file in the folder where munich.bin is.

When you start now it should tell TomTom to go look for maps again.

Before I saw your solution, I suspected that TTN5 might only read maps on the first gig of my 2 gig card, installed in my Palm TX. So I did the following:

I reformatted the 2 gig card and reinstalled the maps first. Then I reinstalled the remainder of its contents. TTN5 now sees the maps (New England/Mid Atlantic, Puerto Rico and Hawaii). So apparently, the maps did need to be in the first gig of the card. The card now has about 1.3 gigs of data on its 2 gig capacity (PNY card).

To test my theory, I next installed the Guam map to the SD card root directory. TTN5 did not detect the map.

While I am OK for now, I guess I will not be able to install more maps unless I go through this procedure all over again.

Thanks for your help.
