I think reboot is caused by the ttsystem file. After doing some of my own experiments I tried to run it with easyuse_tool which says this file (ttsystem file) is old for Ver 7 to 8.010 and not higher than 8.010.

with still old ttsystem the tomtom shows "no maps found" even though .DCT file is created in map folder, but when i put the ttsystem file you provided to replace the present the tomtom either stay at the start-up logo or re-boots from start-up logo. any solutions you can provide ? thanks

****** UPDATING WITH NEW FINDINGS *****

I used TT-PNA-Infotool and this is what it showed up

P N A :TomTom GO500
DeviceName:TomTom Steve's Tomtom 500@
BootLoaderVersion:55128
Serialno.:M34415H01221
DeviceUniqueID: (DELETED INTENTIONALY)
NavCore:8011.9373
Current Map:
Map Version No:0.0

in otherwords map is 845.2645 whereas Navcore is of 8011.9373

could you please let me know where from i download the correct navcore for map "Western & Central Europe 2GB 845.2645"

************ LATEST UPDATE **********

I downloaded the correct Navcore 8.412 and performed all the steps you mentioned and GOT IT WORKING. Its very late 1.15 am tired and sleepy. so far it switches on all the way but no signal at the moment. so will check when i wake up. if any problems i will request for your help. and i truely appreciate all the time and efforts you spent here to solve this problem. Many thanks.

DJC, i have come this far to make GO 500 work, its partially working but the problem is its not catching signal. it says "Waiting for a valid GPS signal...." how can i over come this ? i had taken it out of house for a long time but made no difference. If i put the original SD card in GO 500 it works just fine with strong signals even inside the house. Please advice

You can use the said map/navcore on your device, please confirm you used the SE ttsystem file and have a .dct file in the map folder

Right I've followed all the steps in this post on my go510.

It boots up then fails stating the following. You cannot use this map on this device. The map in question is the linked map on this post along woth all the other links.

Any help please, I was under the impression there wasnt a lot of difference between the 500 and 510 whit regards to navcore and maps.many thanks in advance

P.S. the keygen is showing it as a go710 is this right????????????????

I used the SE TTsystem file on the link at the beginning of this thread. There is no dct file in the map folder. How do I put one in????

Thanks

I now have the DCT file in the map folder after using the keygen again.

Same problem though

"You cannot use this map on this device" This error is stating that either your map is not compatible with navcore but if you used the ones from this link it is fine, or you have not used a SE or patched ttsystem file or have not patched the map.

Thanks for your help DJC.

With regards to patching the map I presume this is the the DCT file you mentioned. With regards to the SE file I used the linked one but noticed there is an option to patch in the linked keygen. Can I use that???

I'm going to try and redo it all. Let you know what happens.

One again thanks for your help.

all of the navcore files and the SEttsystem file go on the root of your device/sd , you do not need to patch the SE ttsystem file it is pre-patched

C:???????????DocumentsTomTomHOMEDownloadcompleteep hemerisQuickGPSfix

I did as you instructed but made no difference. Quickfixgps still dont appear when i connect device to my PC. do i need to patch TomTom home with keygen ? and if yes how would i do it ?

Are there any VOICE Safety Camera files (spoken voices those will warn of any camera ahead instead of sieren sound etc.) that i can load on to GO 500 ??

High DJC, I've been pulling my hair out with this with it still not working.

I then noticed something that I posted early about the keygen reporting ththe the tomtom was a go 710 and didn't put two and two together.

The box the the tomtom came in was a Go510, looking at the labeling on the actual tomtom it is a go710. Would this be the cause of my problems??????

If so what map and Navcore would go with tis model????????

cheers

Ok i updated a go710 yesterday for some one, and i used navcore 9.026 with SE ttsystem file and you can use any of the 845 maps with this navcore

Thanks DJC, For some reason I dont seem to be able to search the forum any pointers for this navcore???? Also am I able to use the SE ttsystem file you provided at the beginning of this thread????

Hopefully this will be the last time I have to pester you LOL
