Any map, that covers your entire trip from the UK to Albania, is to large to fit in your 2GB memory. I suggest you look at All New Maps 895.XXXX for Central Europe as well as Europe East for the best coverage.

If you are good with tools and a soldering Iron you can check my tutorial on adding an interal SD to a TT.
Not sure if the XXL is still compatible, but if you compare the pics of the circuit board you will see.
That way you could add a 8GB SD and use any map(s) you like.
With 2GB you are limited to smaller single maps as TD said.
Keep in mind that you can not calculate a route covering both maps, so select a suitable destionation on the first map and contiune with a new route on the second map from there.

I did not get into this, because albothug does not have a card slot & would require a computer with the 2nd map on it, to make the change.

Thanks for that, forgot about copy problem :(

would europe east and uk and ire cover my journey

sorry about this but is there any video tutorials on how to install the map because i have no clue what i do with the meta code

If our instructions and tutorials are not suffient for you to update your device I strongly recommend
a) that you update your device through Home
b) that you buy your new maps though your TT acount - Home will install for you

A 65 year old man was able to that and his only problem was that he needed an updated bootloader, so sorry but I can't understand your problems.
If you willing to read and learn it should be a matter of 30 minutes to get your device going ;)

all good just 1 question can you get multiple maps to run together

No problem at all, just install them like the first.
Each map goes into its own folder and you activate when done using FastActivate.
