Here is a guide to installing TomTom truck.
If you have any problems please post on the thread and me or someone else can help.
The guide might have errors as I have not checked it works perfectly.
Just had a go and it says that each of the parts for the maps are 1.68gb each and I have 16 of them plus the navcore. I downloaded from another link but all the parts are the same.
How can I get it to fit on a 2gb card? I am doing something wrong?

the map is 1.68gb total. The file has been split up into 16 parts. You should right click on the part 1 of 16 and select extract files… and select your tomtom or removable disk. You only need to do this for part 1 as the other 15 files extract automatically.
Just tried doing it that way and now it is saying that the 1.68gb maps can’t fit onto a 1.83gb (2gb) card? Maps plus navcore should be about 1.72gb so in theory should easily fit.

extract them to a new folder on your pc, then copy them from that folder to your tomtom
Also check that the card is completely empty as well.

I now have a new problem
The card is 2gb but I put navcore on which took up about 900mb (ish) god knows how but it did. So I formatted the card and it now says the card only has 900mb in total space so it’s somehow turned my card into a 1gb card . It’s “nicked” the space that the original navcore took up and wont give it back. How can I turn the card back into a 2gb?? I’ve never known a card to be “shrunk” by formatting it

how did you format it? did you right click and select format?

I’m glad someone see’s the funny side
Yup. My computer > right click > format.
Just put it into the gf’s camera to format and it turns it back into a 2gb card. Back into the pc to format and it takes the space again and gives me 1gb of useable space. Will in work in “camera” format or does it have to be done on a pc?
Found this communities.sandisk.com/sandisk/ … read.id=54
software is here files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197
Thanks for the links, I’m back to a 2gb card now just copying the maps and navcore again. Wonder how far I’ll get this time
Latest update is that it now gives me an error message reading “cann’t copy cnode: the parameter is incorrect” gives the error message when I try to copy the files from my pc to the memory card. Any ideas?
ps: just tried to copy all the files except “cnode” and it gives the same error message.

How did you format the card? was it fat32 or ntfs

FAT format, have the option of either FAT or FAT32.

format it in fat 32 and then try again
I forgot I had to use a different program to the link. Found a programme called SDfix2g.exe from the forum link. The programme doesn’t give you the option to choose the format of the card. If I format it using any other programme than SDfix then it puts the card back to being a 1gb card.

try sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/sdfv2000.exe
set the Options to FORMAT TYPE: FULL (Erase ON)
Managed to get it into FAT32 format using another pc. I still get the same error message about the “cnode” file.

do all the other files copy over if you don’t include the cnode file
Have had to copy then one by one and the only two that refuse to copy over are “cline.dat” and “poi.dat” the cnode file has copied this time.
Unplugged and replugged the card and they still refuse to copy. Just says the parameters are incorrect

can you put the card in something else other that your tomtom and copy the files to it?
Not really sure why it is doing that
