'Hi everybody, I am trying to get alive an old tom tom one with a very little sd card (256 mb only). When I tried to upload new Italy maps, as I expected, the software Tom Tom Home wasn't able to do so because of the limited available memory so I changed SD card with a bigger one (4 Gb) but now with the new card the software on my PC doesn't recognise the equipment connected to my PC. Any suggestion how to enlarge memory card in my device and then update with new maps (by the way, already bought on Tom tom web site.)?

Please give them credit and be nice. 1 - System Update Make a full backup of your TT (check it!). You can use this to get a running system again if you mess-up things. You can use the program HOME for this, but most hardcore users prefer WinRAR: When you connect your TT to a PC, it shows itself as an external hard drive.
Backup the entire content of this drive! (Disconnect using the OS mechanism for safe removal.) Check the navcore version of your TT. On a running TT, tap the speed area, and than tap the small area above where the speed was. It is on the second line, the first number after App (e.g. Navcore v9 has the same information in the menu-system, last page. This page provides all essential information when asking for help. Another way is to have the TT connected to your computer, and view the file ttgo.bif in the root of your TT.

Do a soft-reset (consult this forum, the website or your manual): It should run fine now.

Functionality and the colour scheme may have changed. If it does not start: Another option: see this post As a last resort: format the TT internal flash and put back your backup 2 - Patch the Navcore The map you are going to install will not work with the official navcore.
For it to work you need to patch (modify) the file 'ttsystem' on your TT. Patching the ttsystem file is easy. Simply run the yDGpatch (made by yDdraigGoch). It allows you to select ttsystem from your TT and do it's magic. It can patch the.dll for the emulator in HOME ('operate my TomTom') too. Get it here: The latest generation of keygen tools can patch too: patch and generate a key in one go. This has become the preferred way.
See below: '4 - Generate a Key'. If you cannot or do not want to patch yourself, there are prepatched navcores. Find the one you need, and unpack to the root of your TT: To be able to use emulation on HOME ('operate my TomTom'), place the included.dll according to the instructions of the patch-tool (above). Your original map will work with a patched navcore. For the experienced patchers: You can decide on using a SE navcore.
See this post for more details 3 - New Map You probably want a new map. Newer maps are better. Your updated navcore runs the newest maps for all areas, but may not provide the latest features.
The map version must match the navcore version. Astrologija besplatan horoskop. Find out which map versions fit your navcore in compatibility charts: Some maps have 1GB or 2GB in the name. These maps have less additional information (POI's, rivers, etc) included to make them fit in 1GB or 2GB flash. The actual roads are the same. If you want: to use an SD Card, to preserve your Favorites or if you wonder what ALG, ASR, and C-Speech mean: see the post Do not copy a new map over an old one; remove the old map first.
Each map resides in its own directory. A map of Western Europe will be in a directory WesternEurope in the root of your TT (or the SD card). Do not place a map-directory inside another directory. Speedcams and POI's go inside the map-directory. Some more details: 4 - Generate a Key A map will only work on your TT if you have a valid key that matches your TT hardware. Get a map, you are going generate a key for it. Generating a key takes some effort.
I will explain what needs to be done. You have a map, within the map-directory a meta-file, e.g. You need to make a dct-file, e.g. WesternandCentralEurope-19.meta.dct to go with it. For this you need four things: 1 a keygen program, e.g. EasyUseTools available here (made by TTuser): Also have a look at the new keygen tools, referenced below. 2 a file Meta.txt, with encryption information about the map.
It comes with the tools. If the Meta.txt it is out-of-date (due to new maps): TTuser frequently updates the EasyUseTools, and Albert's tool has special functionality in his tool to get the latest meta-data (thank you Guys).
A last resort: Add new meta-data yourself. 3 the identifier of your TT (device id), to be found on the first line of the page of your TT you looked up earlier (nav version). Delete the space in the middle and type it in CAPITALS. (It is also in ttgo.bif, after DeviceUniqueID=) 4 the map-directory with the meta-file You can simply run the keygen program (from EasyUseTools) from the command line but there is an easy tool that does the hard work for you. See above for the URL. EasyUseTools will create v6.xx map codes, v7.xx and v8.xx map dct-files, and will patch navcore's.
As Tim said, you are entitled to the latest map (8.25) which just came out a week or so ago. However, you won't be offered that map unless your application version is 8.3+. Even then, when you go to Home's menu for Latest Map Guarantee, you may not be offered that map. Home is notorious for being misleading or incorrect about that. If you get a message that your map is up to date whenyou know it is not, call (don't email) support at 866-486-6866.
