Hi I am a complete dumbo as far as these new fangled contraptions go, 73 ans..
I have a tomtom one europe 2nd edition. How do I upload new maps etc. from Archies. I still use a sextant.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Once you know how its quite easy! I assume you can link your TomTom to your PC/Laptop either via a USB connection or card reader? If so what I would do is to download Archies files for your Sat Nav and save them to the desktop. Click on the new desktop icon and it will open a dialogue box containing, usually, 3 files. One is the instructions and the other to are what you need to add to your TomTom. One file is a data base and the other a small image file. These need to be copied into the main map folder on your TomTom. This can be done via Windows Explorer/My Computer or TomTom Home if you have downloaded that. From the desktop right click on the file and copy, go to the file showing the contents of your TomTom, find the map file and right click and paste. Job done. Some people don't think its worked because they can't see a long list of campsite POI's but they don't work like that. The best way is to decide on a town near you destination and select this on the TomTom and after that go to the button that say POI's near destination and that is where you will see the list of nearest campsites. I appreciate that it sounds a bit complicated but it is a step by step process but please ask again if you need more help.
