Newbie needs help

Postby snyghalt » Wed Aug 05, 2015 6:24 pm

Hi there!

I'm new here and trying to update an XXL 540.

I have some experience messing with Garmin devices, but so far I'm having a lot of headaches with TomTom.

I've downloaded the maps from here and also read something about FastActivate, but I not sure how to proceed.


-Will I be able to restore everything if I do a Backup from Windows Explorer from every file in the GPS ?

- If I install maps from here, shouldn't I uninstall the maps in my GPS first?


Thanks for any advice you can give me !

Welcome to Navitotal.

Please run this little program & post the results here: TomTom Current Configuration {13.11.2011}
I do not give help by PM. It deprives our other members of a chance to learn. Please post your issue in the appropriate forum/thread. You will get an answer.

Thanks for your help.

Yesterday I've tried to install the maps I've downloaded from here.

I've also tried to activate them using FastActivate, also downloaded from here.

Something didn't go right, since I can't load any map in My GPS.

I'm a better now.

At least my GPS can load now, and shows my old maps.
Not lucky with the ones I've downloaded from here.
I've opened another thread here http://www.navitotal.com/post142354.html#p142354

I'm like this now:

TTGO.BIF:
DeviceName=TomTom XXL IQ Routes Edition
DeviceVersionHW=ONE XXL IQ Routes
BootLoaderVersion=55279
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9510
ApplicationVersion=1234792.2
CurrentMap=Argentina_and_Uruguay
CurrentMapVersion=880.3811
