Can i use another backup?

Mon Mar 05, 2012 4:12 pm

Hi i'm a newbie her and a bit of a novice but was wondering if this would work.
I have the tt xl2, running a bit out of date now, afriend has exactly the same model but pays for newer map versions. If he does a backup, and i delete my tt would his backup give me an updated version with the newer maps?
My tt xl2 is running
APP 9.401.8662279.103 os 1000
(1021. 15/2/12)
32mb Ram (free 32mb)
GPS v1.02 Boot 1.0012
Map UK & ROI v845 2645
Language English UK

This would give me a very simple way of updating without downloading new maps and patching navcores etc.
Thanks guys.

To use a map, that YOU DON'T BUY, requires the map & navcore to be patched!!!

LOL and at least we have no newer Navcore than that available, but imho it is not the best choice for an XL.
However if you are one of the lucky few where the NC works fine don't dare to change it! ;)

LOL, 9.401 is the current official navcore for his XL2, so it ought to "work fine".

Everything seems to be working fine, i just wanted the easiest way to update the map without paying £40 to tomtom every year. Id rather wait 3 years and just buy a newer model.

Thanx for the update. Can we call this post solved & close it?

BTW, new maps are posted every 3 months.
