Create a new folder on your desktop. Put a copy of your device's ttgo.bif file in the folder along with the 4 parts of the new map & try to unzip the new map in the new folder.

same results file is in unknown format or damaged

One last thought. Right click part 1 and run it as Admin. If no help, then you probalbly do indeeed have a bad map download.

that didn't work eighther. just downloaded afresh set of files.
according to the instructions all I have to do is load the .exe files, how do the other 3 files load ?

I gave you some incorrect info in post 19, disregard it.
When you click on the part1.exe, it takes care of the remaining 3 parts.
Where did you download the 4 parts to?

I have downloaded to my laptop, and was waiting for your instructions.
If I understood it right, I should abstract the .exe files to my tt, is that correct

Click on the .exe file, then select the TomTom drive letter and click on the Install button.

[color=red][/color]Dose not work, it goes this far and I get the same message, perhaps the original files are damaged

Click Part1.exe, click Run, click Accept, click Browse, scroll till you see your device with the drive letter [example TomTom (H)].

tendriver,

Thank you for your help, tried this several times last night and it kept crashing, so I left it alone
gave it one more go this morning and wala, it worked, the maps loaded and was already cracked.

many thanks to you for being patient and a big thank you to the person that cracked and posted these maps
