Which USA map??? Help

Postby L8tes » Fri Feb 17, 2017 6:17 pm

Hi I have an XXl Classic running UK and Ireland V915.5074 and want a USA map for an upcoming holiday.

I refered to the compatability chart and think I can run 985.8213, so I download and install the patcher.

I boot and get the ' Map cannot be used on this device" warning. How frustrating!

Where did I go wrong? Which map should I download? Any advice?

Thanks :022:

I think it is fustrated that you have not read carefully post 1 in the section
All new maps 985
A map can't be activated until a meta code is posted with it !!!
Meta codes are posted as soon as we get them, SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK!!!
There is no meta yet for the USA 985.8213

If you read the tutorial here then all will become clear

There are no 985 USA maps that have a meta code released yet so you're wasting your time I'm afraid.

If your holiday is coming up soon, you're going to have to use a 980 map....read the tutorial otherwise you might make the same mistake again

Thanks for your useful input. Always easier when someone posts a helpful reply. Unlike others who just like to have a pop. I will download the 980 version. Thanks again
