I have TT Nav 5.21 running on my PDA and I have a problem getting it to recognise USA Maps. I have installed a California-Map onto the root of my SD Card but when I select Switch Map the only one shown is Great Britain.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

Is the map a genuine product with an activatiob code or an illegal copy. If the latter I suspect that will be your problem, and the answer will be to buy a proper version.

If you are using TTN 5.21 and trying to add a USA map v5.67 it won't recognise it. To 'see' a version 5.67 map you'll need to downgrade your version of TTN to version 5.

This has come up on numerous occasions. To get a fully explanation do a search through Tom Tom Navigator Software.

Thanks BodgerBaz. That explains why it used to work and now it doesn't.
I'll downgrade in time for my trip to Southern California.

Buy a spare SD card and install v5.0 and the california maps to it. Then all you need to do is swap SD cards.
