Sorry for being so dumb , I have't done any hacking of tomtoms before. I want to go to France .Is it possible to get France maps on my XL v2

device details are below.

thanks in advance


DeviceName=TomTom ROME
DeviceVersionHW=ROME
BootLoaderVersion=10012
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=8080
ApplicationVersion=9662
CurrentMap=United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland
CurrentMapVersion=830.2306


App8.080(9662/040301) os:1000
GPS v1.21, Boot 1.0012

well yes!

Does your device have enough space for a France MAP?

Does it have a SD card slot?

no sd card slot but the device got 787.5mb free

well thats good... thats enough for FRANCE map

please [color="Red"]DO NOT[/color] attempt to upgrade your navcore, you have a version 1x bootloader and special navcore 8.080 so you are unable to change that it is found in some defective tomtom models that tomtom released that quickfix in order for them to sell them , you can use this map France_845_2647 (365.89 MB) and patch your ttsystem file with yDG tool if you get any problems ask me and i will patch your ttsystem for you

Hi,
downloaded France_845_2647 used easy tools to patch and I think everything working ok. I am able to switch between UK and France Maps now.
Hope this will help me to drive in France.

Thanks for your help

Hi,
I was just wondering is it possible to remove both maps and just install Western_Europe_1GB_845_2666 (882.15 MB) map into the system. Please advise.

Thanks
Aby

I don't think that's a problem. just remove both maps which are on your tomtom now and replace it for Western_Europe 845.2666. Your navcore is ready for it.
Activation works the same as the France-map.

Also a possibility, Central Europe 845.2744. A bit more details than Western_Europe. And France is also on it.

as long as your device has enough space, you can use any MAPS u want!!

Also check the map chart your map will need to be compatible with the navcore

my novcore is App8.080(9662/040301) os:1000 . it is not listed in the chart, I am assuming maps compatible for 8.07 will work with my device

You are correct.

Installed Western Europe map and all working fine . Really tempted to upgrade navcore, not want to try until back from France.

Thanks for all the help

Great that you got your map updated, good job but as tendriver said read my earlyer post in this threead (#05) i do not reccomend you try and upgrade your navcore.
