The ONLY reason to patch TT Home is to use the "Operate my device" feature with a patched unit.

The first 3 digits of a map is the edition. The last 4 digits is a version of the edition. 930 is the current edition.

That depends on what 930 version you have now. Also does your unit have enuf memory, internal or external, for the map that you need. Finally, does the map, that you need, have a meta code posted with it, indicating that the map is patchable & usable!!
