Tomtom Start 20

[swissy]

Hello.

I'm trying to add Europe map to a Tomtom start 20, but this particular unit never shows up in Windows explorer so i can't just copy the map over, everything must be done through their software MyDrive Connect.

Anyone come across this problem before?

Can it be done?


Thanks

You've surely nearly answered your own question mate?
For my Start 25, I also use My Drive Connect!
You download it, register as instructed, connect your device via USB provided once logged in and download your latest map once paid for!

Simple!

Apologies for not making myself clear, the map i downloaded is just that, one i downloaded, free, unpaid for, not one from Tomtom.

Ah sorry mate, in that case I doubt I can help you - I actually had both UK & ROI plus Western Europe maps (official - sorry!) on my Start 25, albeit with the aid of an sd microcard for the extra memory thus required, but as for 'unofficial' maps from elsewhere on a Start TomTom device without the use of My Drive I doubt it's possible, unless anyone else on Pimps can assist here - e.g. Russel1 or dOOds?

No worries mate, you can't blame Tomtom for taking that security step, but it doesn't help us poor pirates lol :)


Maybe it can be added to a SD card, and then somehow added to the unit, but not found any info via google.


Thanks
