Unable to update map on 920 - not enough space?

Folks,

TomTom Home 2.7.2.1825 is trying to install map 835.2419 (Western & Central Europe - unsimplified), Home reports it as 2098MB.

I'm already moved the US maps onto an SD card so currently internal memory is 2.13GB used, 1.60GB free.

Whenever I try to install the new map I get an error indicating that there isn't enough space, and it seems to think that it needs another 2.4GB (actually, the detailed error message seems to imply in needs 6GB in total which is larger than the onboard memory...)

Any ideas? I've not had this problem before... perhaps manual extraction is the way to get around it?

Ta in advance.

This is probably down to a bug in the current version of Home.
Irrespective of where you select as the place to store the new map, Home tries to install it to BOTH the internal memory and the SD card.

Mike Alder has already done a write-up of this in another topic, with instructions on how to manually extract and install the map files.

See if you can find it, before I do! Smile

Try THIS TOPIC

There are others that might help too... do a search for the terms "map" AND "unzip" by mikealder in this forum section only.

I think its time this was written up fully and added to the FAQ page to be honest as its going to be occuring more and more as the maps keep getting that bit larger each time - Something to do for later tonight when there is nothing but rubbish on TV - Mike
