"No map found" can be caused by an incompatible navcore & map setup, or an unpatched navcore or a double map folder, ie you open the 870 map folder and find only a single folder, which when opened contains all of the map files & folders.

...."in the map folder"?

Each map should be in a separate folder (plus remember you need to patch your navcore if you haven't done that before)

thanks for your comments although my navcore as been patched before and i have undated it along with the new map, the map i have downloaded was the one which tomtom home told me to buy etc, i have now placed my old map (860 patched) back on my tomtom and everything is OK with this, any more help with this one.
Thanks

Open the 870 map folder & confirm you have both a .meta & a .meta.dct file in it.

Hi All again thanks for your support i think i know what's wrong i have just been on tomtom home and now it's telling me to buy a map number which is different from the the one i have installed and the one it told me to buy before, i will try to install that one and see what happens again thanks, if this works maybe it was blip on tomtom?.:yahoo:

You are making this hard on yourself by trying self help, rather than asking questions & waiting for answers. To date you have not posted what map & navcore is installed on your 930? NC 8.351 is the current GO 930 version.
You didn't answer the request in post 5!! It stands to reason, that if a patched 860 map runs ok, then either you have a navcore & map compatibility issue or the 870 map is not patched.
