You did not manage to finnish your 300 and the answer still stands: do some reading so you know what you are talking about.

The Alg is not working on it
If someone can point in the right direction of the posts which tells you which emu does it I will read it
The files which have got the information about the navcore won't open
So can someone please tell me what's the latest version for go 730 so I can download some map
Thanks

Why do you think I keep repeating myself over and over again in your threads?
If you would have followed my advice you would know by now that ALG has nothing to do with the Navcore as it is a map feature.
The map chart tells you which maps are usable on a particular Navcore.
"The files which have got the information about the navcore won't open " since it is a simple text file you must be doing something wrong.

By the way: even Home will tell you what the latest Navcore for a device is.
So please stop useless requests and gain some basic knowledge first, otherwise we will be running in circles till Xmas.

Now want to put more maps into it how big card it can take . Want to keep the card in the room tom. Will be mainly using it for UK. But when in holidays use USA, Malaysia and middle East maps
what's the best way forward
Thanks

Best way forward is to read how to install maps and simply add them...

Any recommendations
Is it ok to have two sets of of cards with different maps
internal and the sd card
thanks

You can store multiple maps on the same card and switch between them as needed. I would recommend getting a 32Gb card.

What about different types of maps on 2 memory card internal and external
On the 730

Fri Sep 27, 2013 3:41 pm

Maps can be stored on either or both without any hassles as far as I am aware.

A. According to the screenshot & ttgo.bif, you have an outdated Truck navcore & map, but it isn't a truck map.
1. As big as you want.
2. Whichever you wish.
3. What is the benefit of getting a new car?
4. You should be reading everything that you can find in the TomTom Section of this forum, so you don't continue asking these embarrassingly dumb questions!!
5. Not if you don't have a truck.

thanks
for replying and for your time
i thought people do share there experiences here ,cause i am fairly new over here

Mon Sep 30, 2013 7:19 am

Well, we do so, but all info you seek is presented several times here in the forum.
And with a bit of common sense you should know that you only need a Truck map if you actually need Truck routing ;)
