Having bought a sealed TomTom One map DVD, I've dug out my old TomTom One 1st Edition for use overseas. I downloaded the latest version of HOME, and tried to install the new maps. I got an error, so I deleted a few things to make room (I deleted my maps directly from the drive). Depending on how I try to install the maps, I get a different error.

If I go Manage my Device Install items from computer, I get: An error has occurred We're sorry but HOME can't complete that task. Please try again later. If that doesn't fix the problem, please restart HOME. If I go via Purchase Maps, select the map on the DVD and click Activate, I get the same, but if I go via More Info and click Add, I get: Do not disconnect your navigation device 1. Install to Memory Card The archive file contains this file: CANA~XZ2.011 The file should not be part of this archive: E: maps Canary_Islands.cab I've reformatted the 1GB SD card and re-installed the application, plus updates. I also noticed a GPS firmware update.

My PC is Windows 7. So what do I do now? This is a bit of a mystery. As far as I know, TomTom haven't sold maps on DVD for ages (if at all!) They are normally installed by direct download or sometimes made available on SD card, but not DVD.

The mere fact that there seems to be a file with name that suggests Canada on a map for the Canary Islands (which is normally included in a Western Europe map) is cause for concern. What region were you trying to buy? But the big question has to be 'Where did you buy it from and what chances do you have of getting your money back? OK, sorry about the 'Canada' red herring, I got confused by the mention of ' The archive file contains this file: CANA~XZ2.011 ', that's not a file I've ever noticed in any of my Europe maps. Is there any way you could give us a file listing of what's on the DVD?

The downloaded maps usually appear as a zip archive (plus a couple of additional files), and the contents of the zip are all the individual map files including (your map's name)-xxx.meta (your map's name).pna cline.dat cname.dat cnode.dat cphoneme.dat crpoi.dat etc. (around 37 files) If you can get to the point where you've found all of those files individually, then we can tell you how to install manually without Home (in fact there's already a good tutorial in the 'articles' section of the forum). Hmmm, Looks like all the main map files are there, but I think I was a bit hasty when I said you could use the manual install method.
