Yes.

Download this map: North_America_2GB_870_3406 with Automatic Installer & Patcher
Download this navcore: http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/navcore/9.205.rider3.CAB-navcore-RIDER.cab & X_ttsystem.9.205.547817.1.rar
Copy everything on your 720 internal, except the map folder, to your card.
Copy the 9.205 navcore to the card, overwriting any common files. Copy only the ttsystem & PNDNavigator files from the .rar to the card, overwriting any common files.
Run the map Auto Installer.
Done!!

When the card is in your 720, it will be the default setup. Remove the card & you are back to the internal setup.

Remember you can (on x20/x30/x40/x50's) just add new maps to an SD card without needing to incl the navcore

1. This is correct.
2. No.
3. Close the popups. Scroll to the bottom of the Linksave.in page. The 8 part download links are there.

Got most of download ok but part 6 only downloads 34K instead of 200000K. What gives?

I downloaded all 200MBs of Part 6 as a regular Navitotal member, with no problem. Delete any previous Part 6 files & please try again.

Do I just unpack and load to SD card using map with installer?

Yep. You must also put a copy of your device's ttgo.bif file on the card before you patch the map. Keep in mind that by not putting a navcore on the card, you will have to also patch your 8.351 navcore & 815 map.

Did all steps per Tendriver post Unit will not boot up with SD card. It did boot op once with something in a foreign language. Touched screen and it went on to ask which map but if I select second one it won't complete bootup. Without card it seems ok
