briangoo,

version means your navcore which is 7.903, i would update your navcore.
just follow my tut
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f179/tutorial-how-update-tomtom-navcore-map-first-timers-176617/
then install the 880 map.

just follow the step by step you will be fine

hi taximan & all knowing i have tried to copy all files from tomtom to 8gig memory card to try & see if it would work before i try updating but my tomtom will not have it at all it just powers up & tells me to take out card. any help plz
or can you only use the original tomtom sd card

[taximan]

read the tut again
clue boot loader

To run bigger sd cards you will need - full support for SDHC on all Tomtom
models,also needed to use Navcore 8.412 and 8.410
and bootloader Bootloader_5.5122.rar

copy the file system only delete whats after it to tomtom root.make sure your battery is fully charged,tomtom will
restart twice, bootloader updated

got the latest uk& roi map 885.4055 for you, here's the link mapuk8854055.rar - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download (http://www.4shared.com/rar/KX_8wA-s/mapuk8854055.html)

this map works on any navcore, but doesn't have iq routes or alg,which your navcore 7.903 does'nt support anyway.

no need for you to change bootloader or navcore, by the way your 8g sd card is not supported on your tomtom unless you change bootloader, thats why your tomtom couldn't see it.

once you download map just follow tut,

backup all your sd card files to a folder on pc
before you copy new map to your tomtom delete the map folder on your tomtom first.
if you get stuck,let me know

it always works in the end:champions::champions:

[briangoo]

so when i unzip it should it look like a white square with some colours for each part of the download then just drag n drop into my tt as its just the same when i did this ???? sorry to be a pest p.s ive a 4gig card now:celtictop:

[taximan]

when you have downloaded the map, unzip it and you will have a folder called mapuk8854055 within that folder there is a anther folder called United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_885_4055 copy that folder to tomtom.

[briangoo]

hi taximan do you mean to my tomtom sd or my 4 gig sd

[taximan]

tomtom sd, your 4gig sd card will not work in tomtom without changing bootloader

[briangoo]

my map is 126mb your download stops at 140mb & fills the card. sorry

[taximan]

get a 1 or 2 gig sd card then and everything will be fine, or update bootloaderto accept bigger sd cards ?

[taximan]

if it's 4 gig sd card try it,but you need to format card to fat32 firsst if it's sdhc card then you need to change bootloader.
let me know

[briangoo]

right ive used a 2gig card & its now loading up but showing no maps found. ive tried to put the file in & then ive tried to put the pile of books in but no luck. still at least its trying to boot up :giveup:

[taximan]

just follow tut for 4/ download fast activate Digital Kaos - Downloads - FastActivate_24.11.2011_Premium_edition_v1.8.8.0
read instructions.copy fast activate.exe to your tomtom, then while still connected to pc run fastactivate from tomtom
click on update meta.txt tab, when updated, then click maps/speedcams tab to patch maps and speed cams.

[briangoo]

no good ive put it on tomtom & updated it then when that didnt work i also put it into the new map which looks like a pile of books & then updated it again. the only difference i found was it didnt do the drum noise when i 1st fired it up but then the 2nd time it made drum noise but still no maps found. if only there was some1 on fleabay that could do it for a few quid would be great

hi ,that pile of books you have to open it and d/l the contents to ur tomtom,,,,,
read taximan tut again carefully....

[briangoo]

cheers but for some reason the 2nd 1 down which is the meta file seems to be a pile of books & when you click on it it comes up it is damaged ????

[taximan]

what software are you using to unzip your downloaded files?
winrar/winzip

[briangoo]

i'm using winrar 3.91. it has worked with all other files

ive just got winzip & a newer version of winrar & the meta file still comes up a pile of books & when you click on it, it says its in a unknown format or damaged ???????????????

[taximan]

you should not have a file like a pile of books ( which i think you mean a zipped file) on your tomtom.

you should have downloaded the map file named mapuk8854055, which is zipped, then unzip it,then you should see a folder called mapuk8854055 within that folder,there is a folder called United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_885_4055.th at is the folder you copy to tomtom.

[briangoo]

using winrar i downloaded it then it opened up 2 brown folders the 1 underneath is the 1 uk. click that & it drops down 17 files which start cline.dat, cname.dat. the last 1 is meta file size 205,045 & thats the pile of books as you say zipped but the other 16 look like a a4 piece of paper with the right hand side folded a bit like a sd card which i assume means its unzipped & when you click on the last 1 17th it comes up ( this archive is either in unknown format or damaged ) so cant be unzipped
:giveup::giveup::giveup:

[taximan]

thats all looks right 17 files.
" when you click on the last 1 17th it comes up ( this archive is either in unknown format or damaged)" that file is fine its a sytsem type file for tomtom so unknown to pc.

just copy the folder United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_885_4055 with all 17 files to your tomtom, then run fast activate
as tut say's

[briangoo]

hi still no good put brown folder into tt & run fast active & still no maps sorry but had enough. i cant thank you enough for your time but aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhh
