Impossible to activate West and South Europe Maps

Thu Jun 18, 2020 4:44 pm

Good afternoon everyone,

I own a Tomtom GO 720. I have using BBS tools and Fast activated for years.
Navcore is 9.541

I downloaded 4 maps (need France and Iberia maps).
Europe_1GB_West_1050_10226
Central_Europe_South_1050_10176
Europe_West_1050_10176
Central_Europe_South_1050_10185

I updated Meta.txt file. But I'm not able to activate this maps.
I patched again Tomtom GO 720 => idem
I tried whith FastActivate (last version) => idem
I tried whith BBS tools (last version)=> idem
I past and copied a line a line in Meta.txt and modified the name of .meta to be sure the name is simalar as .meta of map
=> activation succed, but TomTom refused to use the map.

I concluded that meta codes are wrong. But I don't understand why I can't find a Maps with available meta code.

Can someone help me?

The metacodes are allright.

I can,t find metacodes for the maps
Europe_1GB_West_1050_10226
Central_Europe_South_1050_10176
Europe_West_1050_10176
Central_Europe_South_1050_10185

So be sure that a meta code is available for the map you want to use.
If the code is available and you can,t activate the map send a PM to Popeye

Dear holyhead,

Thank you for your reply.
Regarding meta files and meta codes:
“Europe_1GB_West_1050_10226” meta file name is Europe_1GB_West-102488.meta
I only can see the meta code “A2 D9 C7 57 F9 05 B5 7F 35 53 D3 3E 2A CD 23 12 Western_Europe_1GB-102488.meta ; Western_Europe_1GB 1050_10226”
The name is different, then activator refuse to activate the map.

I have same issue with other maps.

What can I do?

Best regards

Remember that we only have meta codes from people who have bought the map from TomTom and generously shared their meta code with us

You're downloading maps that have no meta code available here and then start complaining that they can't be activated...not good

You can login to TomTom and buy the maps you want and then share your meta codes with us
or if you want everything for free, you can look at the meta codes that we DO have available, find a good alternative that will suit your needs and stop complaining

And lastly, after being a member here for 10 years...not once have you ever thanked anybody (by using the thumbs up button)

Yes stop complaining
There is only a metacode for the Western_Europe_1GB 1050_10226
This is a basic map No Alg,ASR etc
Western_Europe 1050_10176 has it all Alg,ASR etc
and also has a metacode

I have downloaded both and activated with FastAktivate and it works.
And read carefully

You are a member for nearly 10 year and you must know it by now.

And use FastAktivate
Copy "FastActivate.exe" to your device

Run "FastActivate.exe".
Select 1 (alway,s)
Select 2 (alway,s)
Done.
