TomTom Go Live 740

Hello all,

Is it possible to use newest maps with older Go Live 740 model? At least all European maps can't be used, because they are over 2GB, and 740 have internal 1gb memory.

I suppose that you can use a memory card. Buy a 4GB SDHC memory card or more and there is place enough for the
European maps.

Please run TomTom Current Configuration {13.11.2011} & post the results here.

Thank you for your answers! I'm not now with the PC with the device, so ill will post the config later, but there isnt place for memory card, only internal memory :)

I am familiar with a 730 & a 730T (traffiic), but not a 730 Live. None of my spec charts show a 730 Live, but they all show a 720, 730, 740 & 750 with a 2 GB internal memory & a card slot.

Regardless of what model it is, a unit with a 1GB internal & no slot is limited to a map smaller than 1GB.

That is a shame because i thought all 730 has a memory slot.

Sorry, it was go live 740

Is that the latest North version?

The first 3 digits of a map is the Edition, ie 910.4952. If you can't find a map edition higher than 910, it is a pretty safe bet, that you have the latest edition.

Ok thank you :) So do i need now newer navcore also or can i just download the newest map to make it work? is there any tutorials for installating the map, I guess i need some activation atleast, can it be done with EasyActivator?

9.510 is the current navcore for a 740. Download & unzip Europe_1GB_North_910_4952. Remove the old map folder. Copy in the new map folder. Follow the instructions in FastActivate 22.07.2013 to patch the new map & navcore.

Does the meta.txt needed to be in the same folder than the map? And linked somehow to the .meta file?

Put FastActivate.exe in the root of the device, & run it from there. FastActivate 22.07.2013 is current, so you don't have to do anything with any meta files.

Simply follow the instructions provided in the 910 map thread and all is good :)
