Go here: All New Maps 870.XXXX In post 1 there is a compatability chart. The far left column is map versions. The far right column is for 7.9XX navcores. You can use any map version, that is in a green box in the 7.9XX column & that your device has enough memory to load it.

Thanks,i have been looking at the charts and did see that?,but i wasn,t sure if an upgrade to navcore would be necessary or would improve the system,how do i go about putting on the new map,and removing the old out of date activated map,i did this a long time ago with the muppet proof keygen from another site,but this seems to have disappeared,i still have it on my pc but not sure it still works,thanks!!

What map region do you need?

1. Download & unzip the compatible map of your choice from All New Maps 870.XXXX
Remove the old map folder. Copy in the new map folder
2. Go here: FastActivate ENG 29.05.2011 {1.8.7.0} Read ALL of the instructions carefully. Select the Premium version.
Run FastActivate Premium to patch the navcore & map.

i need just uk and ireland

do i not need to update navcore at all then,would this not be of any benefit to upgrade to say 8.010?

Ok. There are 3 UK&ROI maps the are compatible with your unit.

No navcore update is necessary.

auto installer will auto-patch the map. you must patch the navcore manually, if not already patched.

Go here: FastActivate ENG 29.05.2011 {1.8.7.0} Read ALL of the instructions carefully. Select the Premium version.
Run FastActivate Premium to patch the navcore, if not already patched.

Use FastActivate from Tendrivers post above, There is no need to patch the navcore if it already works with older maps.

Thanks guys, now have the map working very easy, but seem to have lost some voices, and speed cams.The speed cams i expected, and i assume i just need to transfer from old map folder? But the voices any ideas??

You can copy the speedcam files, poi files, the mapsettings.cfg file etc, from your old map folder to the new one.

If they were NOT premium voices, but have numbers attached to premium voices, then they may have had .chk.dct files generated when activating the maps, which stops them from working, You just need to delete the .chk.dct files. for NON premium voices.

nice one i think that will be it? I only had a few premium ones,but how do i find out which numbers are premium ones i.e is there a list anywhere of premium voices and their numbers?
