updating a second time ?

[davemaden]

i have a tt520 and patched it and put new map on about 12 months ago , so it due another update , can you tell me the procedure on how to update it when its already been patched ? do i have to update navcore using tt home and then delete map thats on then load new map or is there something else i need to do ? cant just remember how i managed it last time as it was a while since . thanks

You don't have to update the navcore, but I'm sure there will be a few newer updates available now. If you do update it then the ttsystem file will need patching again, then delete the old map folder & postcode files & add new map folder & postcode files. The new map will the require activating - see the guide I've posted in here.

If you are using one of the UK maps I've posted on the forum, the me ta info is included in the download.

[davemaden]

yes ive used the uk map v870.3406 im now using the newest bbs tools and when i click "search device " it doesnt find it in tom tom home but asks if i want to continue so i try to load maps and it seems to go on device , as it tells you not to remove device , then i click activate map and it says map activated but when i reboot TT 520 theres a picture of a tom tom on screen and a blue tom tom sign keeps coming out of the bottom of the picture and then a red cross is being drawn on the blue tom tom sign . please help . am i nearly there ? ive printed out instructions and followed them but seem to be stuck . thanks

[davemaden]

Connect to PC - it will see it as an extra drive, then use windows explorer.

What version of Navcore have you got on it now ?

[davemaden]

navcore is 8.351 but cant do anything untill i can delete everything from device, what does the tt sign with the red cross appearing through it on the screen mean? thanks for your patience and help

[davemaden]

i have managed to empty it now and have 489mb of space . do i need to try from scratch again to load the map ? will i need to patch system or should it still be patched as i left a folder called "user patch dat" when i just deleted everything else . im still getting the tt symbol and red cross through when i turn device on . whats my next step ? thanks

[davemaden]

ive put latest map in device and bbs tools activated it , also map is there when i look using tt home 228.4 mb , but no map appears when i switch on , just get a picture of a tom tom device and it looks like a picture of a blue sim card with the tom tom logo appears out of the bottom of device then puts a red cross through it . please help

Sounds like you need to patch everything again if the system is already patched BBS tools should tell you, good luck!
When you say sim card I suppose you mean SD card?

ive managed it now . just copied everything back to the device apart from the old map and have updated speed cameras .

just one question is it possible using explorer to just delete the old map from device and then load new map using bbs tool and activate it ?
then you dont need to re-load everything except the old map back to the device . hope you follow what i mean . thanks

Yes - that's the easiest way - & you can copy the file named 'mapsettings.cfg' from your old map folder to new map folder - this saves your Home, Favourites & recent destinations to the new map.
Oh - you can use explorer to add the new map.

[davemaden]

is it just the mapsettings file you need to transfer to the map folder as there are a lot of other files there aswell or are these not required?
also if you use explorer to put new map on device does this mean you just use bbs tools to browse for map on device and then activate it . thanks again for your help

If you are using the pgpsw speed camera files, just overwrite the old files. Don't know about the Tomtom files as I have never used them.

[davemaden]

i use the ones you post on here , so no need to delete old ones , thanks Russell
