AHA!

The EXPORER BACKup above is the old one.

Just checked again

Explorer back up 9th Feb = 76 files.

does that help - there is an extra file in the backup but don't know what.

FIGURES ARE FOR THE MAP FOLDER ONLY.

Could be key. You need to compare the actual contents of this folder with the contents of your map folder on the 710 now and see which one you have in the backup that you do not have on the 710.

When you have located it, post back here and tell us which one it is?

the extra file on the backup is called thumbs.

I think it is something to do with an image viewing program I have.

Any other ideas?

Not really. The only thing left I can suggest is you copy over the entire map folder that was backed up via HOME. Do this manually rather than via HOME.

If that fails then I'm afraid you're out of luck and there is little option other than a new map or a new device!

OK

Will give copying the HOME backup of the map folder over to the TomTom a go.

All this due to a bloody update!

You would not believe it.

Just a quick note on this (I am most probably barking up the wrong tree).

From the details given the software is 7.162 and Maps 815 do these work together on the 710, I have 910 and was told that 815 maps would not work on software 7.162.

OK

copied across the map folder from the backup.

Still the same problem.

NO Maps Found.

Anyone else got an idea as this is really getting me to the point of hammering the bloody thing.

Well spotted, I'd completely missed the map version.
