    if this is the case you have to put tomtom latest firmware on usually 7.90,
    and use the 825.2159 maps and dont forget to patch the firmware with the YDG patch software.....
    If the postcodes search locks up try setting your Tomtom keyboard to QWERTY & use small letters.

    @ Mobileman - it looks like your Tomtom is the same as mine - a Go500 ??
    If that's what it is then you can use the Navcore v8.204 from the first post in this thread, it's the same copy that I'm using & you can use the v825.2157 map with it.


    If you or anyone wants to patch Tomtom or Tomtom Home, it can be done using YDG's patching tool - or even easier way now is to use Albert's activation tool

    Once you have map on device you must use alberts activation tool to crack it...

    No, it's different to the old days (V6 & earlier) - if you've used the Navcore I posted then you just need to activate your map - use Albert's activation tool for this.

    Not too sure how well this will work on your device as I think it's even slower than mine lol - so if you have problems go back to your old version & then update it using Tomtom Home - will probably have to do several updates - think it will be v7.9** - then you can only use the v825.2159 map, but will have to patch your Tomtom & also activate the new map.

    [EDIT] - lol too bloody slow, rugrat beat me to it (bit my reply was a bit longer though )

    Thought you might have a running problem - once you've got latest navcore you need to patch it (the ttsystem file) & then activate the new map. Albert's activation tool will do both jobs for you.

    The latest 'official' navcore is v7.9**, but should not have any problems with the v8.204 I've posted & the v8.4 in rugrat's link should work aswell

    Could someone please reup the patch file... Seems to be gone.

    "If you are using a Genuine version of Navcore then you will need to 'Patch' the "ttsystem" file on your Tomtom if you want to use a 'copied' map. Use Tomtom Home to update your Tomtom to the latest version of Navcore before you do any patching or adding any new maps.

    Thanks to yDdraigGoch (from another forum) for creating this tool - you can download it from here :-"

    Cheers,

    That link is still working - just tested it now, but the easiest tool to use now is the one made by Albert - link is at bottom of my first post.

    OK Forgive my ignorance Russ but I have a TomTom One V1 the very first one I got it off T1z3r on these forums and its been great just bought a new mount off him as thats all thats gone wrong in about 5 years! Anyway what I wanted to know is what exactly does all this lot do? Is it worth doing for me? I have the standard Memory Card in there with just UK maps on. I have never ever updated anything on my TomTom except some Speed Camera POI's when I first got it. I have ioften thought about getting European maps for when I go driving to Spain which I do a lot.
    Thanks and once again sorry for the noobness!

    Make a BACK UP copy first !!!
    The safest way to update is to use Tomtom Home - keep updating until no more updates are available (can also use Home to get the latest voice files), then add the v825.2159 map. Use 'Alberts' activation tool to patch your Tomtom & then use tool again to activate your new map.
    You could use the v8.204 Navcore I've posted, but it's not always 100% - a lot really depends on what features you want out of your Tomtom.
