MapShare is not working. How do I fix it?
It´s related to loopdir corruption
1.- Delete loodir folder
2.- Copy original loopdir folder
3.- Put SD into carminat and change setting to reconfig you carminat (choose voice, map, etc...)
4.- Go back to PC. Open Tomtom HOME and MapShare should be working.

make sure that the step 6 is really correct it is crucial for patching. with notepad you can select all files when you do "save as"

Excuse me, are you sure I do not have to initialize my SD by putting it in my Carminat once formatted?
I knew this was useful to make Carminat write a sort of system files.
Am I wrong?

Hi everyone,
I've got the same issue as above... I tried to put also empty SD formatted FAT32 inside, but none file corresponding to "ttsystem/PNDNavigator" have been copied by the Carmina System, so not needed to do it.
Something is missing/erroneous in this tuto, but what?
thanks in advance if someone could help us...

If you follow the instructions provided with the NC download and the 905 map thread it will work.
Noone can help you as long as you don't post the details we need....

General question: If TT Carminat is based upon X20 (Go X20?), can I also use Downunders modified NC ?

Does it work (practically) the same as a regular TT except that it works with NC and system files and map from SD ?

And: What are the other Car systems from TT like carminat?

Appreciate your answer ! Very interesting.
