TomTom One Problem ...

Hello people, I've been messing about with my tomtom one and now it doesn't work!

I only got it yesterday (2nd hand) and the unit is perfectly ok

When my tomtom was connected to my PC, it created an F:/ drive, I went into this and moved some files into different folders which now means my tomtom can't get past the main screen, I don't think it can find the maps

Can someone please advise what I need to put where, I'll show you what I have done ...

This is the main screen of my F:/ drive ...

There were to two folders named Great Britain Maps so I deleted one, and moved the contents to the other one, it now looks like this ...

I didn't add any of the extras, the girl who had it before me did.

What do I need to do? As far as I'm aware I didn't delete any files, just moved them.

I've tried upgrading but that doesn't work.

Thanks[/img]

In the Great_Britain-Map folder you should have the following main files

It would appear you have 2 Great Britain.cfg files
I think you only need the one called Great_Britain-Map.cfg
You could try moving the other one off (don't delete it) to another location on your computer. (No responsibility taken if you delete files)

Then check your files against those listed above (note this are shown on a computer running Windows XP)

Good luck

Thanks for your reply, I will have to try tomorrow as my tomtom has conveniently run out of batteries! I thought it could've used my computer's power through USB but obviously not Sad

Well, who deserves a smacked wrist then? 8O

The first rule with anything to do with Computers is Backup, BACKup and then BACKUP.

Now down to business. It would have been better if you had use File Details in your Screenshots, instead of Icons. It's easier to sort out.

One File that appears to be missing is 'spsystem'. If I remember correctly this is something to do with the Bootloader.

The voice command Files are not there either. Data05.chk and engf.vif gives the English UK female voice.

In the Map Folder you have a Setup.dat File missing. I don't know if it's important.

You have 5 Great_Britai .... Files. I only have 3. I don't know what the extras are.

I don't know why you would have had 2 Map Folders. It looks like you have deleted the wrong one. You must also have a larger, than the original, SD Card which was 128MB.

Probably the best thing that you can do, at the moment, is to Copy the complete SD Card to the PC. That is, everything that you can see in your first Screenshot.

Make sure you have Copied it all. Compare the Backup size with what's on the Card.

Format the SD Card.

Then install v5.4xx, whichever you have, to the SD Card. You will have to do this with the ONE connected to the PC. It should be able to Boot Up and will ask for the Maps. Backup the SD Card at this stage as well.

Then come back and we'll take it from there. One step at a time.;)

You're correct about the card, its 512mb

I'm 99% sure I didn't delete any files, just moved some

Data05.chk is in my voices folder

I will do the backup and restoring tomorrow as my tomtom has just run dead on battery

Thanks

In case it helps, here's what you should have in the main directory

It would appear that the girl before has loaded the speed camera folders here by mistake.

It would also appear that the SD card was used in a digital camera as well. Isn't a DCIM folder used to store photos in digital cameras?

Is yours completely standard Vicky?

This is a backup of a friend's tomtom one (she's not good with computers) so I backed it up to my computer and copied it all to a larger SD card before letting her loose with it.
So what you see is as it was straight out of the box.

Mine has got loads of crap on then by the looks of it

I will follow Oldboy's instructions tomorrow and see what happens, thanks for your help

OK I have my tomtom one connected to my PC, have copied everything across, how do I format the SD card? I thought there would be an option on the CD-ROM but there isn't ...

You do it in Windowss, just like formatting your hard disk (but DON'T do that Wink

)
In Windows Explorer or My Computer, find the TomTom card (Windows will have recognised it as a drive. Right click on it and "Format" should be one of the menu items. Choose FAT32 format when it asks.

OK, with help from Oldboy I have formatted my SD card, installed version 5.42 onto my one and transferred some backed up files from my PC onto my tomtom.

My tomtom setup is now an exact replica of the pictures vickyarcher posted, but it still can't find any maps. the only one I'm missing is Great_Britain.mms

Is that the reason it isn't working?
