Neil.....TomTom go300/500/730..Mio p550......2.8 lwb pajero exeed,where cant I go.
Firmware:8.4.1..Western Europe 855.2880 and lots of others
Not a bloody clue!
How do I find that out?
You've got 2 choices for updating, you can either use a S/E version (already patched) & then you can use the v850.2781 map with the IQ routes & ALG - see first post for v8.204 Navcore. It is possible that this version may not work 100% on your unit - the only way to find out is to try it.
Or you can use Tomtom home to update to the latest official navcore - v7.903, then patch the ttsystem file on your Tomtom, then you can use the v850.2820 map.
You will need to activate the map for both methods.
Also add the v850 postcode files posted in this section.
I don't think i'm gonna bother to be honest Russ, it sounds like a heap of trouble!
The second method is really easy Russ, follow the guide & use the activation tool. As long as you make a full back up copy first you can always restore it back to it's original state.
I'm not great at following guides tbh mate, and as you say it might not work, haven't got the patience to do it coz if it doesn't work i'm gonna smash the bloody thing anyway
The first method may not work 100% on a Tomtom One, but the second method will work 100% on any Tomtom unit.
i`ve tried this many times and not got it right. i`ve got a TT one v3. i can`t update to navcore 8.204 . when i try to put it on it tells me there is not enough space. it must half go on because i can use it through tomtom home. then i can`t get the v850 map on because there is not enough room. WTF am i doing wrong ?
i can`t update the navcore through TT home to v7.903, it stays on 7.163. its getting on my nerves lol
need an idiot guide

What is the total memory size on your Tomtom ?
Try deleting everything & start from scratch - then either add the v8.204 navcore from first post & then add v850 UK postcode files & the v850.2781 UK & RoI map & then activate the map. Or use Tomtom Home to update to v7.903, then patch your ttsystem file then add v850 UK postcode files & the v850.2820 UK & RoI map & then activate the map.
i tried that, i think its only 512mb memory. i`ve tried all sorts to update to 7.9 but TT home just won`t update to it.
i must be doing something wrong. i only want to update the map, as it hasn`t been updated since i bought 2-3 years ago. not even that bothered about the lane guidance tbh

cheers russ, i`ll give it another go . it seems like its got a lot less in that folder than the other one. maybe thats why it was too large. lol

Make a full back up copy first Russ - I'm not `100% sure but I think you should be able to copy all the files onto your Tomtom & overwrite the existing files. Try it & let us know how you get on. If it dooesn't work - delete everything EXCEPT for folders named Voices, Zip & your Map folder - then add the new v7.903 files.
If it still works you'll then need to add new postcode files v850 (in folder named 'zip') & new map folder v850.2820 - delete your old map folder first - don't ovewrite any files in old map folder. The see first post on how to activate the map.
Probably a stupid question but here goes.... I have just updated my Tomtom Go 730 with the new v850.xxx map and used Alberts tool (oower) to patch the map etc... I have also copied across the new Zip folder for postcodes... However, my tomtom is a IQ and ALG enabled (from factory) do i need to re-enable these 2 features or will they just carry on working??? Kind regards Jon Oh and many thanks again for the new map!!!!!
If you can't run with the big dogs, stay in the porch!!!!
Depends on which v850 map you used - some have IQ routes & ALG & some maps dont have these features.
cheers mate, updated my one v3 with the nav v7.9 ok. but could only get the v8.35 map to work, if i put the v8.5 on it just says map not found. but i used easytools to activate it, it worked fine on v8.35. would the activation tools in this thread activate the v8.50 map ??
