I have a XL unit and i have just come off the TT home from downloading latest updates to fix a problem i had with unit
i now want to backup my unit to a file on my desktop,if i need it
i then want to download the navcore from here so i can run map updates from here
i cant copy and paste files from unit
Sorry if this is simple but i have tried
any help please

what's the exact error message you get ?

I was trying to copy and paste in windows7
so no error messages

okay, are you trying to use this tutorial?
Yes I know it's for XP, but 7 is about the same.
If so, does anything happen? Is a folder created at all?

thanks for that i was trying to copy paste all the files will give this a go later in day

1. OK
2. Good plan.
3. by map updates, are you referring to the new maps that come out every quarter or the daily map share updates for your currently installed map?
4. Details are needed to offer a solution. "i cant copy and paste files from unit" isn't enuf to work with!!

3 i thought i had to use a different navcore to the genuine one that comes with a TT gps, if so i need to down load that from site to use
4 I had trouble backing up my TT files for safe keeping i just could not get it to work on Win7
But have managed it now ,after reading post

No, you don't have to, but you may want to change your navcore to use a better map. it depends on your current navcore & desired map. You have yet to post this device info for your XL.

I would paste files to here but cant manage it ,win7 will not let me
after update from TT home Genuine
i have 16.8meg of files on drive and drive is 488meg
bootloader is 5.3026
i can not find any other info about unit
its a TT one xl

What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to install a Navcore? ... a map ?
Your bootloader is fine, don't change it.

What are you trying to "manage"?
Keep in mind that we cannot see what you are actually doing.
You need to describe to us, step by step, what you are trying to achieve and what you are clicking on, etc.

I have a TT one XL too, I have it running with the "memory-boost" Navcore 9,510 [found here], which works like a charm.
There is a 13-step plan in [this topic] that you can follow.

Just search around on the forum a bit more, there is more info about the TT One XL

You have 2 options.
1. Stick with 8.010 & use a no feature map.
2. Up your navcore to 9.0XX or higher & use a better map.

thanki have stayed with 8.01
have downloaded 925-5409 australia

Yes, Option 2 to patch the map & option 3 to patch the navcore.
