Tomtom and private map

[Nieda]

Hello all,

I've installed Tomtom on my TC and got the option to download a free map. Now, I have a TomTom One Western Europe Edition with the map of .. Western Europe :o

I copied the map into my microSD, folder is named "Western_Europe". Is there any way to "bind" TomTom Navogator to this map, because when I start it, it says that there are no maps on the device.

I'm very greatfull for any help or links with Howto's.

Stealth Edit: I've read that the map should be installed/activated through TomTom Home. But how do I make the software detect my device? Only ActiveSync ist being started when I connect TC to my PC, TomTom Home doesn't recognise the device.

I have just managed to install Navigator on my device. It was a little frustrating but it does work eventually.

Install home on your machine, then you need to put the SD card into a card reader and attach to the PC. Can't do it with the device connected to the PC

You probably then need to choose device, then change device and change target device to pocket pc.

This will change the device on your TomTom account. Then click on install to tom tom and click ctrl-f8 or cmd-f8 on a mac.

I think that will do it.

That's all nice and dandy, but when I put the microSD in the card reader TomTom Home doesn't recognize anything. My PC sees the memory card as device, but Home is stuck in "Please connect your device to the PC" no matter what option I choose :mad:

Edit: Ok, I've downloaded the Pocket PC Home version and now my TC is recognized. My problem is that I can't get the map to work with the Navigator. The Navigator says "no map", TomTom Home doesn't "see" the map in its folder too.
