Create a new folder on your desktop. Put a copy of your device's ttgo.bif file in the folder along with the 4 parts of the new map & try to unzip the new map in the new folder.

One last thought. Right click part 1 and run it as Admin. If no help, then you probalbly do indeeed have a bad map download.

I gave you some incorrect info in post 19, disregard it.
When you click on the part1.exe, it takes care of the remaining 3 parts.
Where did you download the 4 parts to?

I have downloaded to my laptop, and was waiting for your instructions.
If I understood it right, I should abstract the .exe files to my tt, is that correct

Click on the .exe file, then select the TomTom drive letter and click on the Install button.

Click Part1.exe, click Run, click Accept, click Browse, scroll till you see your device with the drive letter [example TomTom (H)].

tendriver,

Thank you for your help, tried this several times last night and it kept crashing, so I left it alone
gave it one more go this morning and wala, it worked, the maps loaded and was already cracked.

many thanks to you for being patient and a big thank you to the person that cracked and posted these maps
