Go 520 Truck Maps....   

Go 520 Truck Maps....

Postby DonutUK » Fri Jun 10, 2011 9:53 pm

I know i must be being dense....but i can't seem to find an easily accessible guide that details how to install the truck maps onto a SD card?

I have done it previously, a few years back, but it appear the card is knackered...so i intend to reformat it, but need to how to get the maps etc back once that is done?

Also, where do i find these "cracker" tools that i read about?

My other option is to simply upgrade my UK maps to the latest version....i have the latest navcore apparently.

Sorry for being such a newbie!

1. No guide required. Erase the card, but do not format it. Download Europe_Truck_870.3421 Unzip it & copy the unzipped map folder & a copy of your device's ttgo.bif file to your card. You will also need to copy the lastest Truck Navcore 8.398.1917 to your card. [Please Register or Login to download file]

2. FastActivate ENG 29.05.2011 {1.8.7.0} Read the instructions carefully. Select the premium version.

Not quite TD; by downloading from that ttsweet link you don't get everything on the card (like most of the folders etc) which is fine if you're overwriting a full navcore but not for a clean SD card, hence my full dump which includes everything req'd.

Sorry BD, I don't recommend using your dump. At 205 MB, it is too bloated with junk.

Apart from celebrity voices it's "just" a full copy of everything req'd apart from the map folder itself and as I say, the ttsweet stuff ONLY has the extra 8.398 stuff to add/overwrite to another navcore so cannot work on its own

The fileserve link in the "full dump" thread just keeps taking me to a screen to sign up for fileserve...which i have done. Nothing to download?

Correct. As it says, this an encrypted (dlc) link to download the file from Fileserve which you should use Jdownloader (do a search) to do

Yep....got it now.

I take it i just need to get the map?

Also, how do i "patch" the maps.....Fastactivate seems to be missing the .exe bit when i extract it......and Autoactivate doesn't seem to see the SD card in the TT....just sees the internal memory.

Assuming you copied yout ttgo.bif across to the SD card, just use a card reader rather than in the device

BD, neither of your statements are corrrect & you know it!!!!!!

1. The only thing required are the .cab files.
2. The .cab has all the files/folders it needs to work on it's own.
3. I do not give our members bad info.
