quarkrad wrote:OK - thanks. I've sorted started again re SD card. These are my steps:

Started with working TT (9.205) & UK map
Formatted SD card (FAT32)
Copied Alps map to card (Alps-865.3245) to SD card*
Put SD card in TT and connected to PC
Copied FastActivate (1.8.0.3) to root
Launched FastActivate and pressed the Maps/Voices/Speedcams button

The FastActivate windows look like they only see the UK map and activate. I disconnect the TT and reboot it. When I switch maps to the SD Alps map I'm told 'You cannot use this map on this device'.

* Nothing else on card -only the map folder. Do I need a Voices folder on the SD card with the .chk files?

Sorry about this and thanks for your help.


OK, you have suffered enuf.
1. We never recommend formatting anything, except in severe cases.
2. Put the map folder, Fastactivate & your ttgo.bif file, 3 seperate items, in the root of your card. Run FA "update meta.txt" & "maps/voices/speedcams" Done.

Got it working!!! I did not have a 'name_of_map'.dct file in the mp on the SD card. I used EasytoUseTools to generate a .dct file and then copied to SD card.

Great. Glad you got it sorted. Now do me a favor. Take the .dct file back out. Patch the map per #2 in post 16. I have a reason for asking.

Sorry - going to have to finished this off tomorrow. If I understand you right you want me to Activate the Alp map with it in root. Problem is there is no room even removing the UK map. I'm looking at what I can delete from root and the Alp map to get it to fit - down to 13M to go. See you tomorrow.

That worked. My mistake was putting FastActivate (FA) inside the map on the SD card - the Help file can be mis-read (I did it!). (2) says FA will work either in the root or map folder but when the map is on the SD card it looks like FA only works when it is the root of the card. Thank you for your help and sorry to be a pain.

Thank you. I had a 2 part reason for you help. 1. To gather data. 2. To show you that it works. Now next time you will know how.
