Looks like this is an older version than the v700.1491 posted earlier.

The latest v705 maps are smaller in size and file older date than the previous v700 version.

Australia_Map_v705.1485.rar - 79.3mb (94.2mb) 27/5/2007
Australia_Map_v700.1491.rar - 91mb (116mb) 28/9/2007

anybody want to confirm this is the case?

The 705 map apparently comes installed with the new tomtom v3. It also has safety cameras but smaller POI files. I have used both maps and cant see any difference yet. Some of the dat files in 705 are slightly larger. If you apply the "enabling method" in an earlier post on 705 you will also enable the safety cameras but you wont be able to update them via tomtom home. At the present time I am using 705 maps with the POI's from 700 and the safety cameras.

I take it v7 only works with the dedicated gps units, and not on the Windows Mobile 5/6 platform available on some mobile phones/pda's ???

Thats right. Version 7 maps require version 7 software and that only works on TT GPS devices.

Caution guys, a mate done his new map update from v6.5XX to 705.XXX and after going onto the Tomtom home site his tomtom failed to work after that, why??

boros

Explain "failed to work"

Greg

Did he upgrade to v7 navigator firmware before attempting to install the v7 maps? If not that may expalin why his TT failed to work properly when he tried to use v7 maps.

I did an update to whatever the lateset software is on tomtom home and then updated the map to v700.1491. After that the only way I could turn it on was to have the USB cable plugged in . And yes it was charged... Restored a backup of my SD card and all fine again very weird. Haven't done the udate again yet to chack may have been just a dodgey update .......

you need to patch tomtom home, because the maps arnt officialy released yet, all the info is on ipart, particularly relevant if you want to operate your tomtom within tomtom home

typan

All I know is, after he done his upgrade to the new map it was working fine and then after that he went into the tomtom home site to do "what?"
He rang me and said my tomtom blowup after going on the tomtom site. I think blowup means it does not fireup, no screen no map no anything. Will talk to him soon for more info

xlnt

tell him to do a manual reset.

Alternative to manual reset:
Try to start Tomtom without SD card in it, should come on, then put sd card back in. It works.

My mod worked perfect.

Install Navcore7 first.

Then update it in tomtom home.

Remember to patch your ttsystem file.

CHEERS

OK boys, my good mate has told me after installing the mew map it was working just fine and after going onto the tomtom home site to check for updates the unit started up OK but after the splash screen a message on the screen "NO MAP FOUND" he tried the reset thing, card in, card out on power up still no go. I told him to reinstall the old map and do the new map patch thing. now he is happy again!!!

anyone know how i can put australian maps on my tomtom 720?

Greg

Message Post #10 has all the necessary file downloads and instructions needed to install the maps. Worked fine for me on my ONE XL. Should also work fine on your TT 720.

Just make sure you update your firmware (tt browser) to v.7 before installing the new maps, using TT home.

fatony

i've followed the above instructions but my tt720 didn't come with a sd card so i don't have the "ttsystem" file, is there a way around this?

koss

Anybody know how to get TT Home v2.1 to recognise v7 maps when operating the TT via home v2.1? At the moment it only recognises the v6 maps installed and will not recognise any of the v7 maps.

I have one XL.
