Help needed to update an old TT Start
Fri May 08, 2020 6:11 pm
I am stuck and really need help. On the edge on simply buying a new one
I do not know what I am doing wrong and since there may be other users out there with my problem,I will try to provide additional info.
In my case I have an old tomtom start model of my unlce which was able to read a map before I updated it through tomtom. Because the model is old it is not supported anymore it only be used again through patching it. Through some search online I found this site which gave me hope again.
1. I already know which version I have of navcore. This can be easily found in the ttgo file or with the fast activate tool. In my case the version is 9541---> 9.5xx
2. I downloaded a 1gb map of europe north and according through the Compatibility Chart it should be supported. However i am confused how to use meta codes.
3. I Am not sure if the map is supported lol and tried so many different maps that simply do not know what i am doing wrong. Patching the map does not work and every single map seems to get a .dtc error and reads as a incomplete map.
4. meta text file won't update. as soon as I close fast active tool a older date appears again.
Can anyone help me lol.

I've created your own topic for this problem because we need to understand a bit more about your device before we can help you...
Run FastActivate.exe from the root of your device & select option 8 > a new page will open showing the relevant information > copy that info and paste it up here so we can see it

Sorry for the late response as I was yesterday occupied with alot of work.
I've downloaded a different map yesterday which seemed to work however it was the wrong one. Trying to find a map that covers the north and south of europe as I live in the Netherlands and travel often to spain.

ttgo.bif:
DeviceName=TomTom START
DeviceVersionHW=START
DeviceSerialNumber=XMxxxxxxxxxx
BootLoaderVersion=55238
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9541
ApplicationVersion=3145439.2
CurrentMap=
CurrentMapVersion=0.0
Map(s):
D:\Central_Europe_South_1045_10000\
Storage:
Size 1884MB, Free 1193MB

Ok, it looks like you have most things under control so just a couple of things to look at:
1. A map must have a meta code released in order that it can be activated. If you select option 1 on FastActivate, it will update to include all known meta codes and it will produce a couple of *.txt files too (meta.txt & integrated_meta.txt). They contain ALL known meta codes to date, so refer to those to check it can be activated before downloading a map.
2. Have a look at Poteo_Roke's excel document on the following link that shows each map & the country coverage. He's done a great job with it so it'll save you a lot of time downloading the wrong map.
