Maps not found!

[sedvese]

Hello,

Have installed TomTom 5.1 but the program does not find the maps located on my SD-card. Is there a setting somewhere to tell TomTom where to find the maps??

Finicky program.

from my blog, http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/2005/10/surefire-method-of-installing-tomtom.html

On your desktop, launch Notepad.

Type & \Storage Card\New-England_and_Mid-Atlantic-Map\ or whatever the name of your main map folder is on your mini-SD card. Do not forget to add the final backslash and a have a space between the ampersand and the first backslash.

Save the file as CurrentMap.dat. Make sure it doesn't end up as CurrentMap.dat.txt!

Create a folder on your K-JAM called \My Documents\TomTom.

Copy your newly created CurrentMap.dat file from your desktop into \My Documents\TomTom on your K-JAM.

Wierd...dosent work.

Have created the CurrentMap.dat -file and made sure that it does not have the .txt extension.

Have created the Folder /My Documents/TomTom and put the file there

As I have a Swedish version of OS I also created the Swedish version on that map...also tried to copy the file to the /program/Navigator folder where the exe file is located.

Have done a complete reboot but the program stil don't find the maps...:(

Also made sure the Path and spelling was correkt "& \Storage Card\Scandinavian-Maps\"

:cry:

Is not Scandinavian.Maps but *.Map. Also you not have to create a folder My documents because this folfer already exists in PDA storage. Is a system folder.

Yeah, infact it says "& \Storage Card \Scandinavia-Map\" witch I have verified on the storage card to be the correct folder name.

And you are right..I did not created the acctual My Documents folder but the TomTom folder was created.

Have looked at a friends CurrentMap.dat file (where TomTom works) but there seem to also be some other data that the TomTom software probably creates...my guess would be it's binary data. Have tried to copy my friends file to my K-Jam but stil no success.

Same problem here, tried all options I can come up with, and as soon as I revert back to tomtom 5 the map is found again.
Which lead me to believe that the "currentmap.dat" file at least is correct, or have they changed somtething with it in v 5.1 ?

fahlis: The update doesn't change anything in \my documents\tomtom folder.

Sedvese: my curentMap file is as follows:  \SD Card\Iberia_Plus-Map\
If you want I can sen you the file, you open it with notepad and replace Iberia_Plus-Map by Scandinavia-Map. Who knows it can fix your problem.
