(if servers are not down) You need to allow wget.exe in your firewall, if asked.

Done - quit FastActivate So always update the meta.txt again after quitting FastActivate Menu items: 1. Done - quit FastActivate - If you want the activate another map after you have quit the program use the following procedure: 1. Update Meta.txt (after that don't quit the program) 2. Instructions update by Holyhead: Download the latest FastActivate 1. Copy 'FastActivate.exe' to your TomTom device internal or SD-Card ROOT directory (recommended) or desktop or any other place 3. Plug your tomtom device with the USB to your PC or use card reader 2. DO NOT manually add meta codes to integrated_meta.txt because in my experience, FastActivate won't read it.

If the integrated meta.txt file does not come with the meta code you need, insert the new ones into meta.txt. Another common issue for incomplete map errors (dct errors) is due to missing and/or wrong meta codes. In case FastActivate is not able to update your maps, make sure you're using the latest version of FastActivate. Solution? I had to format the whole drive and restore from backup. In my case, the folder structure got borked while transferring the new map and I ended up with garbage files and folders, which Windows can't even remove/delete. Always make a backup of the unit before performing any work on it.

Copy over the safety cam files from the backup if you have them.

Update meta.txt with the associated meta code for the new map.

the meta code is already available (or else the map won't work).

has the features that you want (TTS, ALG, and IQ Routes being the most important ones.).

it's compatible with your device and/or NavCore version (check the compatibility matrix).

Would be sad to see it go, along with the collective knowledge accumulated over the years.īefore downloading any map, make sure that: Hopefully it stays around for a while longer. On an aside, turns out the owner of GPS Underground is retiring, and is looking to sell the forum (vBulletin license and the domain name).

For the maps, I usually go to GPS Underground and NaviTotal to check out the latest maps available. As such, my X元30s and XXL TomToms are stuck with v9.530 with no hope of further upgrades. Then I realized/remembered that since 2010, TomTom has switched the internal filesystem from FAT/FAT32 to Linux, thereby restricting external access to the device. Normally, I would update the NavCore on the unit, then install the latest map. I figure it's probably better to use a dedicated GPS unit when going on long drives, so might as well do a refresh. Not that I use them much these days (or at all), since it's more convenient to use Google Maps on my smartphone. Been a few years since I last updated the maps on my TomTom PNDs.
