He is trying to find a download that has TT7 with patched maps included

In my device if the folder name of the map does not match the file name *: * pna within it, the map does not load and I get an error.

Not true, I just call the map folder on every device I have/upgrade "Map"

If you change the name of the folder it will crash once, but will be ok afterwards.

on mine I must call the folder Italia and the file *.*pna Italia too even if I'm using europe_south. It's the only way I've found to make it working.

Your solution is not acceptable to Navitotal. I repeat, You have a problem, so PLEASE do not offer your fix to other members. THANX.

I think the problems are related to the way the map is installed and selected.
Example: 860map is installed and running fine, new 880 map get's added and activated - all fine device boots.
860map is installed and working, new 880 is added and the old map deleted - many devices will hang and stop to work normally.

You might wonder why but it is simple to explain:
Inside the ttgo.bif you can see what mapis currently in use, but it is recreated at each boot anyway.
More importantly you also have the file CurrentMap.dat which holds the actually info which map is installed and in use.
Also there is the file CurrentLocation.dat which holds the info where the TT had the last sat reception before turning off.
So when you start a TT with the old map deleted and a new map added some devices only check for the location of the map as defined inside the CurrentMap.dat - which won't work if the map folder is different and/or the map is different in name. This in return can cause the device to hang and become inresponsive, not even reset or Clear Flash will help.
Similar thing can happen if your old map was for example a Europe map with the last use in Europe. If you replace the EU map with a US map (and have not got a proper sat fix before) the TT can't position you on the new map and can freeze too.

IMHO the safest way to avoid problems when installing a new map is to delete the CurrentMap.dat and CurrentLocation.dat in the root after the new map is installed and activated and before you start the TT with the new map.
Might also help once you got the problem already

Where can I find CurrentLocation.dat?

Both files are located in your root directory between connect2internetdb.ver & data.chk.

If the files are not in the root of your device than they have not been created yet.
