    Thanks for the guidance biggerdave.

    Just before I got your last post, I got peed off and formatted the device.
    I then got an old version of TT Home that doesn't want me to register etc before it will do anything, then downloaded a new navcore, and whatever updates it would, but it would NOT give me a map this time.
    Luckily I had kept a copy of one it dive give me a few days ago, so I installed that and got the device working with the old map.
    I then removed some lies that I didn't like from the root, like connect2internet.db, .so, .ver, statdata, and phone_database.
    Then I did the new map install 945-6256, patched the navcore, patched the map/s and WALLAH!!!!! it works!!!!

    I only have a couple of very minor annoyances now.

    1. Every time I plug the device into the computer, it opens up a late version of TT Home that is not even installed on my 'puter!!
    I cannot find which file in the root is responsible, but would love to, and bugger-it-off.

    2. Despite renaming the second map Australia2, both maps show up in the devise as AUSTRALIA. No big deal, but would like to re-nmae somehow.
    Happy chappy now ;-)

    1. In TTHome tools/preferences untick all 3 startup preferences and delete "InstallTomTomHOME.exe" from the root
    2. The device sees/reads the map title from the Australia.pna file so you could edit those to suit

    Thanks for that info, all good.
    In the device menus there is a folder called MEDIA, but I can't find it in the root, or in TT Home.
    Any idea where it is or what it is called in the root? I just want to add a pic for the opening.

    If by "opening" you mean the splash screen then it is in the root as a splashw.bmp and can be changed/replaced easily. Have a search around here.

    I just got word that the map that I helped pay for has been bought, so the question now is:-

    Is there anything to be gained by installing the "Australia 945_6176" over the already working "Australia 945_6256"?
