Silly thing is it is backed up ,both new and old maps are stored but Tom-Tom application wont let you instal the older(working) map to the device . I had deleted the new map off the device but there is no way to re-instal the old map even though Tom-Tom stored both on my laptop . Alan:Doh:

I have a GO720T and have upgraded to Western Europe Vers. 830.2305 with no problems. Which map version caused the problem ?

Can you not rebuild from your backup map ?

Hi

This is probably due to the map protection that TT use to prevent using updates on more than one unit .. or selling them on .. in your case it's probably deleted the old key for your original map so it won't re install... :Sad:

hope that made sense and you get it resolved soon

Same version ie. 830.2305 is what i am trying to instal , i have tried a re-instal by removing still no joy . I did have this map available for maybe 2 weeks but 3 dongling not appropriate for 1.7gb. tried at brothers broadband did it in 2 hours but even though a secure steady supply it stopped and had to resume 2-3 times dont know if this resulted in a corrupted download.

I had a problem with an earlier upgrade in similar circumstances, but not with the message you have. Mine just would not start at all. I ended up having to reformat the drive and then reload from an earlier backup. Worked for me at the time.

have a look through these click here

Sometimes a hard reset can sort things out?

TT tech are fairly good at sorting out problems

it could be your TT is corrupted as you say, at one time i had a similar problem, and had to use the TT clear flash tool which sorted it out .

click here

Be sure to follow the instructions carefully if you use this tool
