It's so easy to use it doesn't even need a user guide :D

You still need to have a patched version of Navcore, a patched version of 8.203 Navcore is posted here -

Or you can patch a genuine navcore yourself, see post no 2 here if you need to do this -

My go has v7903 and ive downloaded Map 815.2024 I gb western europe map.

I used the easy activation tool and it went through OK I put the new map file on the SD card.

My go does not see the map.

The only thing I can think of is that I copied and pasted the **** text into a file called ****.txt rather than downloading it

and I renamed the map folder as it was rather long

What Go unit have you got - is it a patched version of navcore or is your v7903 an original version from Tomtom ?
If you use Albert's activation tool you will not need to do anything with the m e t a file - & finally do not rename the map folder name - it should be - Western_Europe

go 300 .
software was original and i renamed folder back to original at least i thought i had.

chris


should i start over ?, not sure what you mean about **** file ?

[Russell1]

As you are using an original software you will need to patch it, that is why it is not working for you - see the link I've posted in first post in this thread.

What is the name of your map folder ?
If it's named ' Western_Europe ' then all you have to do is use Albert's activation tool from first post to activate your map - don't worry about doing anything with the "m e t a" file.

Thank you for that. One more thing if you don't mind. I originally downloaded the 2GB map 8152003 would that work on my 300 once I've patched the software ?

Yes it will work but you will also need to activate the map (use Albert's activation tool).

Will this patched version of nav core work on a tomtom1

thanks

[Russell1]

From what I've read on other forums it has worked for some users - make a back up copy & then try it & post your results.

hi guys
ive got a tomtom 1 and have tried the patched navcor with some success the computer voices dont work and also the tomtom traffic which i have a sub for doesnt work either nor does the tomtom jukebox and the new maps do and jane does give instructions and tomtom home keeps telling me that the tomtom software is wrong for the tomtom im using!! so a bit up and down but better then the offical navcor anyway so gonna keep for now and have a play with it

kind regards

ukislander

p.s if anyone knows how too get the traffic info working that would be great is when i click on traffic it just tells me too click on the sidebar too access the traffic on the main screen the problem is its not active!


also thanks russell 1 for your great guides and the download links :king-041:

[Russell1]

What software version are you using & what map & map version number have you got ?
And have you use the patcher to patch Tomtom Home ?
Cant help with the traffic or jukebox sorry.
