TomTom Mobile multiple maps roberhert 06-07-2005

Hi. I have TTM 4.43 installed and working great on an SPV C500, however
I'm struggling to find a way of installing and using multiple maps. I
have copied a couple of new maps (France/ Major roads of Europe) onto
the storage card, but TT only starts up with GB map, with no visible
way of switching maps. However, one time when I have installed for the
umpteenth time to test all ways, I DID get an option at startup of TT
asking to select a map (from 2 installed at the time, but I've no idea
how I got to that stage... so I assume it does have the capability as
there exists the script to select different map data?.. but how?
Any ideas?. Thanks

BTW, do you have regular licensed maps or..... ehm... you found them
"somewhere" in Internet ? In case "A" you should know how to activate a
map on TomTom website. In case "B", TomTom don't show maps at startup if
some files in their folders is "not original", maybe because you tried to
activate the map copying a file from an already activated map.
I hope this is clear... I'n not english.
Bye

I have TomTom Mobile 5 UK. It is great - the best. What I find incredibly
annoying is that I would like to purchase maps of Western Europe, or even
just France. TomTom have the maps. I have the money, a legit TomTom 5 upgrade
licence and space on my SD card. They just won't sell the maps.

The TomTom product is absolutely great - but their customer service is
awful. Another bunch of people who should be on the B Ark from Golgafrincham.
How depressing it must be being a techy at TomTom.

I totally agree with you, their customer service is appalling. After waiting
6 weeks i cancelled my upgrade with them. I have Tom Tom 4 for smartphone and
its brilliant, by all accounts TT5 is better, its just a pity there customer
service is appalling. I use to think it was wrong that there software was
pirated so much, but to be honest they deserve all they get. I am still
prepared to pay full price for the upgrade but i refuse to deal with Tom Tom
again.
