Truck maps on Go 550 Live?

Postby HarryO » Tue Apr 30, 2024 2:15 pm

Hi, I wonder if you can give me some advice. I have a Go 550 Live and I'd like to use it as a Camper Satnav.
I have had a good look in the forums and now know it is a NAV2 device that it can't run TT Camper.

What i would like to do is put Truck maps on it and use them. I have connected it to TT Home and it is on the latest
Navcore 9.541, do I need to swap this for a Truck Navcore?

Looking at the tables, I see that the truck map 1125.12210 is compatible with Navcore 9.541, is this the best map
to use on my device - if I am to stay on that Navcore?

I would really like to run the specific TT Camper maps, does this run well on NAV3 devices? Is it more complicated to update if you can't use TT Home to update NAV3 devices? Also, if it is feasible, what would be the best device to get for using 'Camper'?

Many thanks, sorry for all the questions!

Many questions but here goes:
a) You need to use the NAV2 Europe_TRUCK v1125.12210 on your current NAV2 device
b) To run that Truck map you MUST use the 9.702 navcore
c) You could utilise Camper POI's on that map and just tweak the dimensions to suit a car & caravan/trailer but that's not very accurate
d) NAV3 devices are still pretty easy to update/access via TT's MyDriveConnect (MDC) so a cheap & cheerful one as long as it has an SD/MicroSD card slot as these maps are pretty big.
e) There's still no (currently known) way to run a Camper map on a NAV2 device
Have a search around here & all will be revealed & good luck/happy camping!

PS Before you do anything, DO A FULL WINDOWS BACKUP of you device!!!
