Hello everyone

Today I got a TomTom start,

I'm trying to install the latest 980 maps but sadly when I run them on my TomTom
I get the error "These maps are not compatible with your navigation-system" .

Device info :
ttgo.bif:
DeviceName=TomTom START
DeviceVersionHW=START
DeviceSerialNumber=***********
BootLoaderVersion=55282
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9540
ApplicationVersion=1497205.2
CurrentMap=
CurrentMapVersion=0.0
ttnavigator.bif:
DeviceName=TomTom START
DeviceVersionHW=START
DeviceSerialNumber=XOxxxxxxxxxx
BootLoaderVersion=10012
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9540
ApplicationVersion=1497205.999
CurrentMap=
CurrentMapVersion=0.0

Map(s):
D:\Benelux_980_7895\
D:\Benelux_980_7898\


I'm using the latest FastActivate, and try to follow the tutorials but sadly without any results.
The maps seem to work fine in the TomTom-Home Application (manage device from there), but as soon as I disconnect my TomTom
and try to start it up, it tells me to chose a map and gives me the error.

I'm not really sure which maps to download, or what to do next: as the device now is unusable , sadly.
I couldn't find much more info here on the forum, I follow the tutorials and try my best to understand the compatibility charts.

Thanks in advance
Kindest regards

1) Make a backup of your Device and delete the map.
--
Copie the chosen map (Benelux_980_7895) to your Device in his own folder.
If you open the map you see the loose files and probably a folder (brand).
Not a map in a map. (you can delete the cspeech files)
--
2) Copy "FastActivate.exe" to your TomTom device in the root
noref.php?url=http://linkcrypt.ws/dir/m24dq269u7183k4
Run "FastActivate.exe".
Select 2 and 3
Wait for the announcement navcore Patched.

Done
====
Look at the chart Horizontal the navcores
In your case the 9.540 so the 9.5xx

Then vertical the Green Y (navcore you use)
To the left, the maps wich can be used with the navcore
To the right wich features the map have. Those features only have use if your device supports them.
i.e the One,XL,Start has no microphone so a map wich support it (cspeech files) is not useful
(but if there is no suitable map you can alway,s use one with features i.e. cspeech files)
At least there must be a META for the map. So NO META the map has NO USE at all.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up, it's quite hard to understand at first but I think I got it now!
I'm going to try and get the West-European map working, the benelux has now been succesfully working!

Awesome, thanks for the quick response and helpfull post.

I have one problem left tho, Whenever I download something from TomTom Home (Lets say, a image for the car, start-up, shut-down or such-as) it tells me it cannot install it due to a previous error, sadly.
Any tips or tricks on that? I've patched TomTom Home after running the download-file needed, but I'm not sure how to fix that now...

The only thing I can think about is deinstallation from Home and install it again. Don,t patched Home and look if it works. I am not very familiar with Home.
