Hi,
I currently have Europe Central on my internal memory (no SD card at the moment) and I have 1972MB free space left. Can I somehow remove the Europe Central Map and then purchase the Full Europe Map and then fit it on my internal memory?

SuperuserHi @iskren1990
The Tomtom system is designed such that you cannot delete a map if it is the only map on the device. The reason is that the Map being on the device is needed to enable the device to load up properly.
Now the current full European maps on the latest units is circa 9.3gb so will not fit on your device. The simple solution is to fit a Micro SD Class 10 card in the extra memory slot. I would recommend a 16gb or maximum 32 Gb card from Sandisk, Samsung or other major brand from a reliable source to avoid fakes.
One other comment I would make is if you load the Full European map then you should keep the Central Europe map on the device. The reason for this is if you have a problem during an update and as a result the Full European map is corrupted or lost then the other map being there means you can operate the unit as normal and reload the problem map.
