I've got TomTom ONE IQ Routes edition with Navcore updated to 9.400 and I need to update my maps, so I downloaded Central_Europe 885.4009, but navigation still wont start up, becouse "maps are not compatibile with the device".
Am I doing something wrong, when I'm patching the map files (Albert's Easy Activator doesn't report any errors), or is the 4009 version just not suited for my NavCore?

Or, can someone give me a link on newest version of Central_Europe, which is 100% sure working with Navcore 9.400 on TT ONE IQ Routes? Thanks.

1. I don't find a Central_Europe 885.4009 map anywhere in the forum. Do you mean Europe Central 885.4009?
2. Did you update the meta.txt file to include the 885 metas? 885.4009 & 9.400 is a good combo.
3. This is a user issue, not a device, navcore, map issue.

re1 Yeah, its Europe Central 885.4009, my bad.
re2 I made my own fresh meta.txt just with meta for Europe Central 885.4009.

Look for a .meta.dct file in the 4009 map folder. This will tell us if the map is patched.

Europe_Central-512.meta.dct.meta.dct is in tha map folder, generated by Albert's Easy Activator. The activator has also deleted .dct files from radars, but the navi doesn't work without them, niether when I tried to replace them back.

And just for your infromation. I have tried patching the map directly in device connected to computer. I have tried patching it in computer and then copying to device. Nothing works :(

Okay, here's something interesting.
When I copy ttgo.bif file from my backup folder into navigation, Easy Activator can normally read serial number from it. But if I boot the navigation after copying the .bif from clean backup, connect it again to the computer and put the .bif file into Easy Activator, it cannot read serial key anymore. Particulary it says "Invalid .bif file, please choose ttgo.bif or ttnavigator.bif!"

The corrupted .bif is 24 bytes smaller, but I have no idea, what exactly was changed, but its caused by booting the navigation. :/

May I suggest you use FastActivator Premium & repatch the whole setup.

You are aware that a new ttgo.bif file is created with each boot? It logs what is on the device at that time. Size willl vary accordingly

Hello ,i got the same problem, i downloaded the 885.4009 Central_Europe map for my Tomtom One IQ Routes Edition,i tried to patch with fast activator, and it says :"You cannot use this map on this device ...", When i go to TomTom Home 2 ,it says:"This item it cannot be use on this device because it needs to be activated first" my app version is 9.400
Ps: i dont have the .dct file in map folder

Have you actually checked if the meta code is available before you installed the new map?

49 40 27 B7 E7 2E 9D 00 8B 41 78 67 BF FF 81 DD Europe_Central-512.meta i think you talking about this ?!sorry but i`m new

If that was posted together with the map than it should be ok.
For FastActivate: Press all buttons starting from the left.
You don't really need the last except you want to use the simulation in Home.
If the map is activated correctly you will find a .meta.dct file inside the map folder.
If in doubt post the full error message FastActivaor produced.

Ok so now i have the .dct file in the map folder(i used easy activator) ,and the error: "This item it cannot be use on this device because it needs to be activated first" in tomtom home2 is gone ,but i still have "You cannot use this map on this device ..." ...the meta code is downloaded with fastactivate and when i click all from left to right i dont have any error

Please check the tutorials and the instructions in the threads provided next you decide to try something new.
And if you would have followed my instructions in the previous post you would not have the error message anymore : you have not patched the Navcore!!!

I have 9.400 on TomTom 920 with map Europe_Central v885.4009 activated with latest BBS Tools 1.0.55 and work without a problem.
I'm very satisfied from Navcore and map, why someone of you can not activate the map i don't know?

Look ,i don`t understand why i keep having this error , This is not the first time that i patch a map,with v860 the patch worked from the first time, now i dont know what is that im missing , when i downloaded the 885_4009 the patch did not make the dct file in the first time ,then i deleted all the files in the device (map and fastactivate no),and then i patched again ,after 3 attempts of downloading and patching the navcore ,it maked the .dct file ,but i have the error "You cannot use this map..."sorry for my english
