Hi all,

I'm spend a lot of time on many forums to find how to propp install Tomtom navigation (I'm using Tomtom 7 on my HTC Touch HD).
Installing a Tomtom program is so simple but the maps thats another storry.
All informations what I'm found was telling you need to create a folder "maps" in root of the memory card and than copy all files from your PC folder of actual map there. That information is OK just if you want to use a single map.
Problem is if you want use more maps than one.Yo just simple can't coppy contens of two or more maps into the same forder.Or if you try to copy whole folders with maps into yours "maps"folder on your card the Tomtom not see that.
So what to do ???It's really simple.
1. You do not need to create the "maps" folder
2. All what you need to do is copy whole maps folders into the
" My Documents " folder on your storage card (not on" My Device " memory !!! )

Its work perfect,I'm use more than 3 maps (UK+IR, Western+Central EU, Eastern EU,...)
So maybe this info help some people whos need more maps.

hi,

ive found that you can copy which ever map file into the root directory for example
g:\uk and ireland\
g:\guam\
g:\western europe\

it recognises them all.

Im quite interested in your version of tomtom as i have the touch hd also, (just got it) and i have used the version 8 maps and the version 7 apps (black themed) does your internal gps work well, as mine only finds the signal for about a second and then the blue bars go back to grey ones.

says version 7.910 app
gps driver 1.2
map 815.2024

thanks

Hi,
I'm use TomTom.v740.9028 aplication and folowing maps
Eastern.Europe.v725.1883
Western.and.Central.Europe.v725.1906
United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_v720.1802
Work perfect,no problems with signal at all

all i did was name a folder My Maps in my sd card and it worked lol

y is this even posted in this forum? are you posting any apps? no.
what ur stating is intructions people have already posted 100s of time before u in the correct threads...wat's so new about this knowledge? i tihnk it was common sense already among TT users that the map folder goes straight onto ur SD card

yea, one small other thing, the maps need activationing, this is hardest part!!!

Massive thanks for this. The renaming of the folder to Maps made all the difference.

One thing I don't have a folder on my sd card called My Documents. Could I create one and do it that way for multiple maps?

:thanks:
