TOMTOM 5.21 NO US MAPS

[Sweaty]

I have heard that it is possible to use TomTom US maps which are currently not recognised, with version TomTom 5.21, which I need to resolve the keyboard issue with my QTEK 9090. Can anyone give me an idiots guide to how to do this?

The maps are accessible with TomTom 5.0, but with no soft or hard keyboard it is difficult to navigate!

Tell me about this I paid £90 for the offical Tom Tom Maps of the US only to find that now they wont work with Tom Tom 5 :evil: :evil: :evil: And i go to the US a lot :evil:

After trying numerous things, bought the TOMTOM masp for 129 euros at Tomtom.com. They work fine by installing them to a directory on the PC and then copying the folder to the root on the storage card. The nav 5.21 sees them and loads them. Hope this helps!!

Please check your Personal Mail ( PM Icon at the top), I sent you one yesterday. Otherwise it depends what was delivered by TomTom and what version of TomTom you are running.

I got an executable set up file which leads me through an installation to PPC. However on of the options let's you decide on "Other Location(advanced)" then lets you choose "Folder on Computer". Once completed you can copy the files (entire folder) onto the storage card using Acitvesyncs explore option.

This completed file folder works for all versions of TomTom as I have treid 5.0, 5.1 and 5.21. The only version of maps I can get to work for the USA with 5.1 or 5.21 is the version 644 of TomToms Maps which I paid for.

Hope this is more clear

644? I thought that version applied to Euro maps. Isn't the v567 maps for the USA the latest?
