TomTom go 740 live europe + how to upgrade to truck maps??

You might want to read in the tutorial section - that's where we dump most of out tutorials.
Additional info are inside the latest map thread and the thread for FastActivate.
If that is not sufficient to get you going, you might want to ask someone for help that has basic PC skills.

Hey what I am looking for is not in tutorial section. Can you please make a video like from the start to finish thx
I got map, navcore, and fast activator all ready all we need now is a video to show us how to install maps on sd card.

If the available informations are not to your satisfaction, than I'm sorry but so far everyone managed without a video.
You can't blame us for you being unable to follow simple insturctions ;)

Copy a navcore to the card. Copy a map folder to the card. Copy FastActivate Latest Update to the card. Put a copy of your device's ttgo.bif on the card. Run FastActivate options 2 & 3 to patch the navcore & map. Done!!

To use the internal navcore, instead of one on the card. Copy a map folder to the card. Copy FastActivate Latest Update to the card. Put a copy of your device's ttgo.bif on the card. Run FastActivate option 2 to patch the map. Done!!

hey wiadereczko did you get that maps to sd card as well as navcore and also fast activator Now all we have to do is to find ttgo.bif file and we have to put that in sd card and we are done. i will let u handle the ttgo.bif file and when you found out do let me know as well thank you.

TTs create a new ttgo.bif file everytime they are booted. You will find it where your current working navcore is, internal or SD/SDHC card.

Truck mode I mean when you you presin truck pictures and puting all weight and high restriction.

but will check again this later when have more time


Thank you

Maybe you did not understand the purpose of the truck map and Navcore?
I mean if you want to use truck features on a TT you should
a) use the 9.701 Truck Navcore
b) use the 915.5513 truck map
According to post #24 you use the standard 9.510 Navcore with an outdated Europe map - so why do you expect to find truck features on such a setup?

Hi I completely understand that 9.701 navcore support track 915.5513 maps.
In post #24 shows configuration from my tomtom internal memory.

Below shows you micro SD card memory:

Pleas can you tell me if I chosen truck mode on beginning how can I go back to use sat nav as normal car mode or taxi or other one

Now you are starting to make more sense here :)
For some stupid reason TT thinks if you ever select Truck in the profiles that you want to stick with it.
I have not fully tested all combinations, but if you change the emulation you can select the vehicle profiles again at the next start.
Someone said there are emulations that always keep the vehicle profiles in the menu, but again I did not fully check it as I have no use for EU coverage here.

Hi,
How can I change emulation??
I'm will only using truck sat nav mode in UK ( don't need whole Europe). Is any better truck maps cover only UK
