URGENT! Tomtom 5 map DILEMMA

[dkseveneleven]

I have Tomtom Navigator 5.10 installed and running on my device, but with the Great Britain-Plus map. I dont live in Great Britain. I live in California. I have the whole program working fine, GPS device paired via bluetooth and it tells me my accurate driving speed below the map when I have it paired and TT is running. I also have the California map in the same directory but it is not recognized when I go to the "switch maps" function. Is there an imcompatibility between software designed for the UK with corresponding maps and North American maps? I have had SOO many problems with installing TT5 to my device and finally have it running (after having to perform one hard reset) but now I cant actually use it without my local map. Thanks for any help. I have downloaded about 5 versions of the map (some from complete versions of TT) and placed each one individually on my mini SD card (2GB) via card reader and still none of them are read. Please help me! I am so frustrated :x ... Thank you.

Hi dkseveneleven, as long as your map is for TomTom 5 then it should work, if TomTom cant find the map, usually its because the folder location and/or name is wrong. The map should be in its own folder on the sd under the correct name. I dont have that map so I cant help you with the correct folder name. One way is to look in the folder and have a look at the files extentions .pna and .mid the name of these files seems to match the name of the folder e.g "Great_Britain.PNA" folder will be "Great_Britain"

well basically i am facing the same problem with US maps and the problem, as i have found out, is that you do not have the correct version of the canada map.

for example, if you have tomtom 5.21, then the only canada map that works with it is the v5.67. if you have the a lower version such as 5.1 or 5.0, then only the v5.66 or lower would work.

what you can do now is to upgrade to tomtim5.21 since it is free and your maps will start working again as i suspect that you have the latest version of these maps.

hope that helps.

Which is the latest version of USA maps?. I have v566 but they don't work with the 5.10 or 5.21 TT software versions.

Any help??

Under my Tomtom navigator version menu, it shows that I have "App version 5.100 (5160) , GPS driver v1.20, Map: Great_Britain_Plus-Map v571.... So is it possible that the California map that I'm trying to use is the wrong version? I have tried to use every California map available through torrent searches, so I dont know what other options I have. I dont even know what version my California map is because I havent been able to run it to view the version.

That's exactly what I am exactly trying to find out asking for the USA maps version. Could any of you guys tell us the version of your maps please?

Just edit with notepad the file pna in your map directory.
