As you said in the first post to make the map work, I need the Keygen and maybe the info tool.

In fact i'm french and in one month I will come to australia with my tomtom so I need to install the australian map, anstlaian POI, speedcamera...

If fact does it work if I use your full backup file with my tomtom one V3 ? Because you got a lot of nice stuff in it

From your pna tool i got this information.

DeviceName:TomTom ONE
BootLoaderVersion:53029
NavCore:7162.8492
Current Map:
Map Version No:

Can i update my navcore ? wich version of the australian map can i use ?

**Downunder35m** · 17-09-09, 11:02 AM

You should remove your serial number and device id from your posting

With you current Navcore you can only use the "old" 830.2290 map of Australia.
If you update to the Navcore 8.412 you can use the latest 835.2419 map with all the nice features like ALG and IQ routes.

Just noticed the 835.2420 is out ,you can use this map with your Navcore ,but you won't have the extra features...

I have an old go720 can i just install the 730 backup on it
or isn't it that easy.

That depends on how you define "easy"...
The backup is already patched ,so you only need to put a map on it and activate the map - I would define that as easy

**hughdman** · 17-09-09, 04:44 PM

i can't get the password for pnainfotool to work have tried gsmfree and downunder

**Downunder35m** · 17-09-09, 04:55 PM

Just tried gsmfree and it is working...
But to get your device details you can also tap on the signal strengh meter ,then on the small box with the version number and you get the same summary screen....

You have to keep in mind that the 8.412 is not an official Navcore!
You download the latest official Navcore using the update function in TT Home.
If you still want to use a different Navcore :
Make a full backup of your current device using the Windows Explorer - make sure you activated the options to show hidden and system files!
If you update map and Navcore at the same time :
Delete all files and folders on your device and copy the files and folders for the new Navcore to your device.
Add a folder for the map and put the files for the new map in there.
Start your device once to generate a new ttgo.bif.
Run Keygen 3.1F to activate the map (make map keys).
Enjoy
