    Hi @mywrc

    Welcome to the community!

    A map has been reactivated for your device if you could connect your device to TomTom HOME it should be offered for download.

    File access error ... hm... maybe the SD-Card is faulty ...

    First of all make a full manual Backup of your SD-Card via Explorer (Finder - Mac).:
    1. For Explorer change the view-options to see all files and folders (even System and Hidden too).
    2. Stop TTHome, even in the Taskbar <-PC / Dock <- Mac too</li>
    3. Copy all Files and Folders from your SD-Card into a folder of yoour choice on the PC/Mac

    Hi mywrc

    As Troubadix12 said it could be that the SD is faulty.

    I reviewed your account again there is an active map which should be offered for download.

    i've had problems for several weeks with GPS not finding the position of the car. Wasn't urgent as i didn't need the satnav. Updated the SD card yesterday and expected improvements but no! Still doesn't recognise starting position and can't find position whilst travelling! Any ideas?

    Since my last post, I've had 2 GPSfix updates, the last was 30 minutes ago and I've driven around for 15 minutes but the Satnav still thinks I'm 20 miles away from my actual position! Is there anything more I can do?
