I've read it. A lot of map are compatible but I don't know wich one is better than another.

For example a map with cspeech is not useful if your TomTom does not have a microphone (it is mainly a waste of space)

Ok. Is HNR compatible with all TomTom's or does it depend on the hardware?

IQRoute is a simple screen where you should select day and time of departure. Basing on these informations TomTom chooses the route with less traffic.

Undestood. I've seen ALG in the highway.


- How did I understand if I have the 1gb version or the 2gb?

This will give you a better understanding of the terms we use and the general know how.
The chart in the map section will show what map is suitable for a particular Navcore - not all NC versions are listed, so if in doubt the next higher version in the chart will indicate you need it for a certain map, otherwise the numbers below you version number are vaild.
As for the Navcores: the best is what Home offers you and to make it work you need to patch the Navcore and activate the new map - we offer several tools for the job.
Always be aware that having a suitable Navcore and map does not mean it has to work!!! You have to carefully check if for the map of choice you also see the corresponding meta code! Without it a map is unusable.
For devices that only have a limited Navcore or versions below 9.xxx you can use the SE versions - see switchfiles for dummies!
As an alternative I always offer several versions of the latest Navcores modified to suit almost any device.

I've checked the sticked items but did not find that what I am looking for, so I wwas asking
