Hi!

I just recently got a tomtom one new edition
and i was trying to add a speed camera database onto it, but there is no maps folder, just currentmap.dat and an mds file in the main directory...

any ideas???
thanks

Alex

Use tomtom home to easily add new POI and the free speedcams from tomtom.

How do I do that?
There are no free updates they are all a subscription,
I can't add anything because there isnt a maps folder in there!

sorry to be asking as soon as a join im not a post and run and plan to stick around.

Here is a screenshot of what is in my card...

If it's a v3 tomtom, then they come with lifetime free safety cam - despite what it says in TT home

Ok thanks... but how do I do this without using TT home.. and even if i did get it, where would i install it since there is no maps folder.

No, what is in EACH folder?

The UK map file is pretty big, nearly 250mb in size. Find that, and dump the POI in the same folder

Although if you'd used Tomtom Home app, you have installed them by now.

They are all small files inside the folder around 1kb, well apart from the voices... theres no sign of any large map files, the largest file in there seems to be the ttsystem file... around 5mb.

I can't use TTHome, it just makes me pay for the map that i already should have?!
