Default Adding turkey to my uk tomtom

Hi

Ive got a TT ONE and have Uk maps installed, as you would expect.

I wish to add Turkey maps which I have purchased from TT but the instructions seem odd in that it wants me to totally wipe clean the GO, format it and so on.

it also wants me to remove TT's software from my PC, all of which seems very odd just to add a map.

I want to check that this seems 'normal' for adding a map - I'm sort of worried that I'll end up with just Turkey and no UK!!

TT's instructions are below - thanks!
