MapShare is not working. How do I fix it?
It´s related to loopdir corruption
1.- Delete loodir folder
2.- Copy original loopdir folder
3.- Put SD into carminat and change setting to reconfig you carminat (choose voice, map, etc...)
4.- Go back to PC. Open Tomtom HOME and MapShare should be working.

Hi,
First I want to thanks for all the information I found on this site. It is a great job to share.

I try to update my carminat but I am stuck on step 9 when i click ttsystem/pndnavigator
the system answers file missing. Someone could tell me i if do something wrong ?? Thx

I got to the same point as jamonser. Followed all the steps accurately and on step 9 - 2) Click on "ttsystem/PNDNavigator" - I got the message "file missing". Colud someone please offer some ideas? Thanks in addvance.

make sure that the step 6 is really correct it is crucial for patching. with notepad you can select all files when you do "save as"

Excuse me, are you sure I do not have to initialize my SD by putting it in my Carminat once formatted?
I knew this was useful to make Carminat write a sort of system files.
Am I wrong?

Hi everyone,
I've got the same issue as above... I tried to put also empty SD formatted FAT32 inside, but none file corresponding to "ttsystem/PNDNavigator" have been copied by the Carmina System, so not needed to do it.
Something is missing/erroneous in this tuto, but what?
thanks in advance if someone could help us...

Hya!Seems that i have same problem with the ttgo.bif,file is missing when i run fastactive...how do i create this file exactly..thanks

The TT creates it at every boot.

solved that problem but still wont work...it sais that maps europe.... dose not work on this device...anybody knows why or what seems to be the problem?thanks

...eventualy a build from scratch -tutorial- for my sd,perhaps i did something wrong

hi with me is not working the map after fast activate says map voices radar ok???
ttbif is ok but map dont work and is a com+atible map ?
any ideias please

Helo,

I tried to use this methode, but I can not use the Europe map to. (does not work on this device).
Is there anybody who can solve this issue?
thanks.

If you follow the instructions provided with the NC download and the 905 map thread it will work.
Noone can help you as long as you don't post the details we need....

General question: If TT Carminat is based upon X20 (Go X20?), can I also use Downunders modified NC ?

Does it work (practically) the same as a regular TT except that it works with NC and system files and map from SD ?

And: What are the other Car systems from TT like carminat?

Appreciate your answer ! Very interesting.
