How to get map working on a VDO Dayton PN3000

Postby Maestro84 » Fri Dec 16, 2011 10:01 am

Hi,

I've got a VDO Dayton PN3000 and followed the steps from the "How to install Tomtom 7 on dedicated PNA devices with Windows CE core 5" thread to install tomtom navcore 7.45
Everything goes well untill i get to the map activation part. Whatever i do i get the french message that the map isn't activated.

Already tried the activator as well as the fastactivator i found in some other topic. can anyone tell me wich map i need to download, and wich steps i must follow to get a map working ?

Thanks in advance!

Explain what you did to activate the map, including how the device connects to your pc...

This is the content of my sd card:
3581
After i ran the tomtomnavigator.exe file on the device, i got the french message, pulled the sd card and ran the activator on the pc.
Result:

It says press a button to continue, and when i do the program closes.

then i insert the sd in the device, but still the same..

Is there a (map name).meta.dct file in the map folder, and are you running Windows 7 64 bit?

Some Win 7 64 bit users have trouble activating maps for tomtom navigator, are you able to use a different machine?

Also confirm that you are using a card reader and not connecting directly to the device with a usb cable.

If you can't use another machine, open ttnavigator.bif with notepad and copy everything into a private message to me and I'll generate the file for you when I get home later...

This is for Benelux V880.3868 (From the image above), and the device the TTNavigator.bif relates to only!

Copy to map folder and restart Tomtom.

No problem :) For future reference any patching for new maps/speedcams/voices will need to be done on a different machine to yours, I normally use an Win XP netbook.

It doesn't seem to affect every Win 7 64 Bit machine, so it may be a 3rd party process or certain malware/virus protection/firewall interfering with the patcher.
