Help - When trying to install Western Europe 1GB Map 875.3675 on my TomTom XL (currently 725.1905) it stops with an error message suggesting my TomTom disc is full. What can I do to get past this problem please?

Did you remove the previous map on it?

Big chance that there isn't enough room to put both maps on your TomTom XL.

If you check the map sizes you'' notice that most 1GB maps are actually bigger than 1GB and won't fit on a device with 1GB internal memory only.
In that case please select one of the zoned maps.

As Downunder stated, Western Europe 1GB 875.3675 is [1.02GB] & will not fit on your device. This version will fit:
Europe_1GB_West_875_3675 [714MB] OR
Europe_1GB_West_875_3675 with Automatic Installer & Patcher
;Europe_1GB_West_875_3675

Thanx Shadowcat, but do you mean I should delete all the files on the TomTom, else which ones should go?

I have been away, but yes, I did take note of posts 3 & 4, and that file quoted (with underscores) is what I have tried, but it will not fit and I am still hoping that shadowcat was correct, and something needs deleting first. But I am wary of deleting everything in case there are some hidden files or somesuch, and then no way back.

Shadowcat only asked if you had removed the old map folder, which you must do because of the size of your memory.
