1. Confirm that you do not have the Switchfiles.zip, readmenot or Outsourced.9205 on your internal. If you do, delete those 3 items.
2.. Yes you can delete your old map folder.
3. Depends on what you decide to do with #4.
4. Yes it is possible, but not with the NA map that you dowloaded. It is to large. You will need NA 2GB 860.3101.
5. NO.

j.open tomtom’s root folder and paste these two files ..see ..it will copy PNDnavigator but it will ask you to replace and overwrite ttsystem ..click copy and replace the 4mb one to 7mb (4mb is the patched one u need that file in the root folder in order to make PDNnavigator work …(this whole thing will delete your original old heart to a new heart )
k. your heart and brain is working now ..umm wait do not disconnect your tomtom yet ..nope(you do not have body and soul yet…
4.PATCHING MAPS

b. and if you open sd card you can see that your sd card is almost full with one folder(called North America 860.3101 ) and its content inside ..that is your body … all you need is a soul .
c.copy file called --- AutoActivate- from your folder named AutoActivate 09.01.2011 {1.5.03} on your desk top to root folder of the SDcard where you have folder named North America 860.3101(do not copy inside the folder copy it cotside so that your SDcard has two things 1.BODY 2.SOUL

Thanx for the time & effort. If I may make a few comments.
1. It is way too wordy. You lost about half of the newbies in the 1.BACKUP section. We try to use the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method.
2. All of the 64MB RAM memory/4.3" screen devices, such as your 720, are upgraded the same way, so we don't specify model type.
3. Different devices use different mps + new maps are released every 3 months, so we don't specify a particular map, unless we are doing a one on one, as you & I have been doing.

Our tut looks something like this.

  • • Do a Backup before attempting any upgrade using windows explorer and always check your bootloader version if it is a 1x bootloader do not go any further consult a member of the TomTom team here first.
  • Download XXXX.cab and copy the complete contents to your device/SD card, overwriting any common files
  • Download pre-patched ttsystem file & and copy the only the ttsystem + PNDNavigator (if present) to your device/SD card, overwriting when prompted
  • Download your required map (Check the map/navcore chart to determine compatibillity) Unzip & copy the map folder to your device.
  • Download the current version of FastActivate and copy the .exe to the root of your device, Run the .exe to patch the map. (If the keygen does not create the required .dct or misses one create another file also in the roor called mymeta.txt) and inside place the meta that is required and then run the .exe again)
  • Done

Navcore 8.395 is a Truck navcore. Why is it showing up?

There is no NA 860.3103 map.
