    It is after midnight here, so I have begun the download of the link you posted, and I'll try it in the later morning.
    I assume all I need to do is delete the existing map folder, and unpack the new one into the device root, then run F.A.?
    Yes, basically unpack/unzip/unrar the download to create the new map folder then replace old map folder with new map folder. Some say you should delete the meta.dct already in the Android map folder then run LATEST F/A too although I don't normally but it must be worth a try (ps instal LATEST F/A directly into this new map folder & run from there)
    Please do not post "thanks" but use the "reputation" star(*) bottom/left or "like" bottom/left buttons

    So, I followed your instructions to the letter & here are the results.

    After unpacking the map into the root, and F/A/ into the new map folder, there was a .dct file present, BUT,
    F/A did not recognise any map as being present.

    I then deleted the .dct file, ran F/A again, and agin it did not see any map present, and it did not create a new .dct file
    Of course TT give the same message, cant use this map.

    I then deleted that map, then installed Australia 940-5963
    No ,dct file present.
    Ran F/A from within the map folder, .dct file created, ans F/A sees it as a current map.
    TomTom returns message, "you can't use this map on this device"
    W.T.F. am I doing wrong here?
