in Map purchase & installation
not really sure what i am using--its an SD card from a renault espace which guide calls carminat tomtom. had worked fine until i tried to update the maps. i paid £69 for 1 year sub and tried to install what i thought was western europe including the UK and Ireland but it only loads all but the UK and i am much worse off! why won't it load UK of all things and can i simply reset to the original maps if nothing else?

    Hi @atter666

    Welcome to the community!

    If you have installed the Western Europe map then UK and ROI should be installed as well.

    When planning a route on your device have you tried to tap on the flag icon on the right top corner to change the country. You might have to scroll down to find it in the list.

    Regards

    hi-thank you for the reply. yes i clicked on the French flag! and scrolled down very excitedly, but all the countries except UK ROI are there!

    That is strange..

    If you go into the main menu- Status and information- version information > What do you see under Maps?

    I have also activated a separate map of UK and ROI for the device but this should really not be needed :/ if you have the Europe western zone installed.
