HI,

Apologies, I have searched everywhere here as far as I can!

My SD card corrupted. Wont load on the screen, just egg timer. If I connect to PC, I can only view the files if the card is in the LOCKED position. If Unlocked, it freezes the PC (Win 10).
I managed to take a copy of all the files and add to a new card, both in Windows Files manager and also a Clone tool, but I get the error:

Problem with Map
you cannot use this map on this device:
United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland 161

These are the original files, no updates. It wont do anything via TomTom Home, or Rlink.

I believe the Serial on the card is 259204051R UK

Is there a way of fixing, before I have to buy new card from ebay and risking the same error message?

TIA

Moved to Renault section....

Please, connect card with reader to PC. Start TomTom Home and when it connect and see reader with card inside go to Help -> System Information on TomTom Home application and post it here - let we know what exactly TomTom Carminat You have to make right direction about navigation card repair.

HI,

When I insert the card into the SatNav, I just get the egg timer. On the copied card I made, I get the maps error message.

It seeem is first Carminat, non LIVE version - so - it's easy [ with 0 costs ] to rebuild.

1. Backup content ( With TT Home or copy it manualy ) somewhere on PC.
2. Format card. Just to get R/W well again. Or use NEW Standard empty SD card ( do not use micro ones with adapters ).
3. Insert the, new , formatted card in the car GPS. It will initialize it.
4. copy the LOOP folder from the new card to somewhere in your HDD in PC.
5. Restore the backup from TT Home manually (TT saved it to TomTom diredtory in your Documents folder), to get voices ect... without LOOP folder
6. Update the new card in TT Home (maps, navicore, quick gps - whatever it found)
7. Test if the new card is working by putting it in the car. It is possible that it will update the navicore in the device, if the orignal was old <this happened to me>
8. Reverse the LOOP folder from step 4.
9. Download the navcore (navcore_8841.453398.Carminat_TomTom.cab )
10. Extract the navicore cab file somewhere in your computer
11. Extract two ZIP files from CAB (in Install\DS_1) folder to THE ROOT OF THE NEW SD CARD
12. Rename ~tsystem to ttsystem on the CARD
13. Look at stored folder LOOPDIR (fingerprint of your Carminat unit) and open file ext3_loopback with notepad
14. Search (ctrl+F) for the line "uniqueID" (it's 10 digit with letters & number)
15. Write down / Copy your uniqueID and close the window
16. open file ttgo.bif ( if there no this file, just copy it from standard TomTom instalation ) in the root of SD Card with notepad and replace DeviceUniqueID number with your number (10 digits without space between them)
17. Patch PNDNavigator (as in other TomTom devices)
17. Download and patch your maps in the same as it is for other TomTom's
