1. format micro SD card
2. Make copy off all your TT device files
3. Copy all maps Truck folder to SD card ( my folder name is Europe_TRUCK_905_4798 and inside are all files) - make sure all are unziped or unrared.
4.copy FastActivate.exe to sd card ( without folder)
4.copy nacore files to sd card ( without folder
5. copy from your TT device to sd card file ttgo.bif

1. We never recommend formating internal or SD/SDHC card, except in the most severe cases!!
2. Not necessary, if you are setting up a SD/SDHC card and are not making any changes to the internal memory.
3. OK. The folder can be named anything that you wish & is irrelevant.
4. OK
5. OK
6. OK
7. OK
8. You are 100% correct!!

Hi,
Yeas copy file from your Tomtom device to new sd card.

After buying new card I always formatimg it to make sure is clear and is no bad sectors etc. Don't know is advaice when use for sat nav.

There are no bad sectors on SD cards, you are confusing them with hard drives.
If you buy a SD it is ready to be used, formating only stresses the electronics and shortens the lifespan.

A repeat from post 21.

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.

connect sat nav to computer and go to inside memory of sat nav. Make sure you have switch on option, show hidden files,. you should be able find this files somewhere (not in the folder)

hope this help

I don't need any videos as I KNOW I only need a .dct file inside the map folder and a patched Navcore.

Your map is not properly patched. In you video, I see two Europe_TRUCK-828.meta files & two Europe_TRUCK-828.tmeta files but no Europe_TRUCK-828.meta.dct file or Europe_TRUCK-828.tmeta.dct file. The 2 files that should be the .meta.dct & the .tmeta.dct files are listed in the Type column as "Unhandled Extension" instead of "DCT File".
