Yes.
Current Truck map is: Europe_TRUCK_960_7082 (2.95GB) You will need a 4GB SDHC card.
Current Truck navcore is 9.702.
Put the truck map & navcore on the SDHC card.
Also put FastActivate & a copy of your devices ttgo.bif file on the card.
Run FastActivate options 2 & 3 to patch the navcore & map.
If the card is in your 720, disconnect & reboot. Done!!
If the card is not in your 720, insert it & reboot. Done!!

Hi
I have a had a go at downloading the above, I think I got the Navcore , when I try for the map I get directed to a list of 14 parts and each one says slow download takes about 34 minutes, do I download all these,
Sorry if its a stupid question, not very good with this sort of thing

Yes. When you have all 14 parts, unzip part 1 with WinRAR. The other 13 parts will auto-unzip.

Thankyou for the reply, I have a fast internet connection, the linkcrypt site is asking me to sign up and pay so I have set it to download on the slow speed, it will only allow me to do 1 at a time, so I will keep doing till I have them all

Thanks for your help

1. Yes, that is an option, but not a requirement.
2. I use JDownloader, which can be set up to download all of the parts. I let it download thru the nite. When I get up, it's done.
