Yes.
Current Truck map is: Europe_TRUCK_960_7082 (2.95GB) You will need a 4GB SDHC card.
Current Truck navcore is 9.702.
Put the truck map & navcore on the SDHC card.
Also put FastActivate & a copy of your devices ttgo.bif file on the card.
Run FastActivate options 2 & 3 to patch the navcore & map.
If the card is in your 720, disconnect & reboot. Done!!
If the card is not in your 720, insert it & reboot. Done!!

Thanks very much for your help, I will bring sat nav home from truck and give it a go.

Best regards

Steve

Hi
I have a had a go at downloading the above, I think I got the Navcore , when I try for the map I get directed to a list of 14 parts and each one says slow download takes about 34 minutes, do I download all these,
Sorry if its a stupid question, not very good with this sort of thing

Yes. When you have all 14 parts, unzip part 1 with WinRAR. The other 13 parts will auto-unzip.

Thankyou for the reply, I have a fast internet connection, the linkcrypt site is asking me to sign up and pay so I have set it to download on the slow speed, it will only allow me to do 1 at a time, so I will keep doing till I have them all

Thanks for your help

1. Yes, that is an option, but not a requirement.
2. I use JDownloader, which can be set up to download all of the parts. I let it download thru the nite. When I get up, it's done.

Thanks very much to tendriver, and this forum. Eventually managed to download everything and instal it all, 1st run out from Cumbria UK to South west France. Worked perfectly.
