Fastactivate 04 04 2013
If you are doing a fresh install on internal memory of navcore and map then you will need to restart the unit once after the installation of navcoreBefore you try and patch the map because your unit will then generate the needed ttgo.bif file for the keygen to read. Also if you are installing to a sd card rather than the internal memory the same applies you will need to insert the sd card into the tomtom device and reboot before you patch the map so it generates the needed ttgo.bif file.Note 3. Just obtained a TT One 3rd edition and have done all the updates via TT Home and it now has App V 8010 and under that it says 9369. Assume the navcore is 8010.It was 7130 so well out of date. The map just says New Zealand and even TT Home can't tell me what V that map is. I have also installed V900 Map that I have a working metafor but even after Fastactivation the unit can't see it.
I don't have an icon under 'Change ' to tell me what it has installed so can't check that there either.It has NO Sd card. Would it be better to follow your instructions lemonfish, and delete everything and start from scratch again? Thanks for any helpWas going to start a new thread but have forgotten how to do that, and can't see where you do.going mad in my old age. Firstly can't use the 910 map as no Meta available. Only NZ map meta available is 900 which I have added to the unit. There is an original map, as i said, labeled just New Zealand and cannot see what version that is.

The 900 has a.dct file so is activated. Have also patched the navcore which was updated by Tom Tom Home.Usually when adding another map you get the option to 'switch' maps but there is only the one map showing on the unit so that's not possible. Also no icon option to see which map I have (the original I assume, not the 900)Just ran Fastactivate again and still only the one map available. Info on fastactivate says the current map is 710.1568 (very old) and thenit lists the 900 as there but the unit does not show it when you go 'switch maps' only the one there. Why not use a current 910 map?If there is no map to see on the device you have two causes:a) the map files are in the wrong place, like in a subfolderb) the map is incompleteYou can delete the currentmap.dat, after that the TT will offer you all maps that are correctly installed,but after updating through Home you also need to patch the Navcore.The map is activated if a.dct file with the name of the map is present inside the map folder.1.Both maps.original and the 900 in the root directory2.900 is same map I use on my TomTom One new edition. This one is the One 3rd Edition.Old Map: NewZealand-6.meta.dct900 Map: NewZealand-665.meta.dctSo that indicates to me both maps are patched.
Yet when going to 'manage maps' only one is showing. Originally on my TT One new edition both would be showing.Deleted the Currentmap.dat and ran TT Home and it didn't offer me any maps that were installed. The Currentmap.dat has not been reinstalled, suppose that is due to TT Home not offering maps.Just to add to the confusion I have also obtained a TT XL and the same thing has happpened with that. Maybe I should try an earlier map version but don't see why when the 900 works Ok my New Edition.Just for good measure I added an Australian map I have.905.and Fastactivate patched it ok and shows a.dct file so is activated, but that also does not show in the 'switch Map'option so cannot use it. This is weared. Maybe I need to start from scratch with a new Navcore???Thanks for your help.
0019 /mnt/sdcard/NewZealand/ (copy of the currentmap.dat)Yes I did and just noticed the file.I don't have an sdcard so not sure why it says that.I am using one of your V9 NC's on another tomtom new edition I have and it works very well. Since buying this new computer I don't have a copy of it anymore.
Can you give me a link to download the one you recommend for this One xl and the one 3rd edition. I remember the one with your navcore does show all maps installed so no doubt this is the problemAppreciate your help and look forward to the link to change these other two units. JWould it be better to follow your instructions lemonfish, and delete everything and start from scratch again?Kaygill, sorry for the late reply. I see the Master has been helping you with instructions, so you're in good hands there!To answer your original question, yes I would definitely do a clean install. Simply follow the clean install instructions and instead of steps 4 & 5, copy across a navcore suited to your model, then proceed with the rest of the tutorial.
As well as the navcores uploaded by Downunder, I've had good feedback for navcores 9.061 and 9.170 SE for ONE models. If you want to try these, you can download them from the following threads:Clean install tutorial is below:Remember, leave out steps 4 & 5 only if installing a different navcore other than the official one.
