1. Not at this time.

2. Disregard you downloads. Go here for Auto-installation: TomTom Automatic Navcore Installation
Read the instructions carefully. Select SE_Navcore.9.026.483454_32mb_Devices,rar
Disregard the 32mb Devices in the title.

3. Western and Central Europe 855.2884

thank you tendriver, i'm dloading the map now
would i also need to update the North America map at the same time?
i have v800.1727

will the tt voices work or do i have to copy voices over from my back up or checking thru the site, do i need loquendo dovoice?

loquendo will give you text to speech computer voices so instead of trun left and right you get street names and road/highway numbers

north amercia map 855.2884 will give you i q routes

thank you combat, i prefer the turn left/right so i'll leave that as it is.
thanks for the pointer on maps too.

1. If you want to update your NA map, now is the time to do it. NA 855.2884

2. You already have LoquendoTTS computer voice/voices, & it/they should be OK.

you will still get "in 200 yards turn left just it will be followed by the street name or number" which is very handy in unfamiliar areas

To avoid any confusion, LoquendoTTS is standard on a GO 930.

yes i do, i didn't actually remember it said that until you reminded me (age lol) and this unit is in my wifes car
maps dloaded, i'll attempt later when i can give some time to it

should i be putting these 2 maps onto the root of my tt after i've deleted the original maps?
as it seems there isn't enough space, mp3 and audiobooks is empty
i have 3.74gb total size, 3.50gb free if i delete original maps, but need additional 420mb to fit these 2 maps
should these maps be going on a sd card, if so, do these units take sdhc?

• Each map goes in its own folder in the root of your device
• Yes you can delite your old map if not required (I reccomend making a backup first)
• It will take sdhc as long as you have the correct bootloader if not you may be able to upgrade read here http://www.navitotal.com/forums/showthread.php?918-Tomtom-bootloaders-5.5xx-comparison

Remove the original maps. If both new maps will not fit on your internal, then yes, put the one you will be using the least on a card. Also put a copy of your device's ttgo.bif file on the card before you patch the map.
Units with bootloader 5.5015 (navcore 8.300) or newer will accept sdhc cards.

ok, comp has been crashing on me while doing this.

yes, i've found it takes sdhc
i'm just in the progress of starting over

you can put them on the card no probs but you need a copy of the TTgo bif file on there also ,otherwise fast activate will not patch tem
