If I try and change to the Greece map using the emulator in TomTom HOME it works fine but when I disconnect the device and try to use it standalone, I get an error essentially saying the map is not activated.
Any ideas? Thanks

2. Do they just look on the Net for a posted one?? This is the part I am confused with.
3. For some reason meta's are far and few between this update. Previous maps activated straight away.

To start with I gave up on the v890 maps and tried a v855 map of Greece. Once installed I ran the auto activator which activated the Greece map whilst connected to the PC but once disconnected I got an error saying the map was not activated. So, I tried the fast activate premuim activator and clicked across all four of the buttons and hey presto I seem to have an activated map. The proof of the pudding will be in a couple of weeks 'travelling' around Greece!!
