Update GO 600

Hi
@JoopvdM1

The Micro SDHC Memory card should be a Branded Class 10 16GB or Max 32GB... Formatted on the PC FAT32 and formatted on the TomTom device
___________________________

The Full Europe Map size 8.9GB exceeding the 8GB on-board Memory size on the NAV4 devices is an unfortunate, but real Catch22 situation....
For the larger Maps like the Full Europe map you need to install a Micro SDHC memory card
The Map cannot be split across the on-board Memory and a Micro SDHC Card...The latest Full Europe Map is 8.9GB so a 8GB Memory Card is useless a 16GB or 32GB is required (32GB is the Max size Micro SDHC Card for a Tomtom device)
maybe @VikramK or @lampard the Forum Moderators will allocate a smaller Map to your Account
Install the small Map to the devices on-board Memory
The advantage of the small Map would be plenty of working space on the device and the smaller map will also act as a 'Keeper'... This will enable the device to keep running on the smaller Map and avoid the Catch22 situation No Maps Found Error, where the device won't boot-up past the No Maps Found Error to allow access to the 'Format option' to allow the use of a 16GB or 32GB Micro SDHC memory card
Also if you ever need to remove the Micro SDHC Card for any reason... Like transferring pre-planned routes via a Micro SDHC Card or Formatting a new/replacement Micro SDHC Card, the Keeper Map will allow the device to keep running

Hi all

@JoopvdM1

You can't create cross-border routes with multiple individual maps. You must use the EU map for that. The Benelux map has been given to you to unlock your device and allow you to format a microSD to download the EU map. Always keep this little map on the internal memory of your device. Proceed as follows:

- - - - - - - - - -
- Use a microSD card class 10 of at least 16GB max 32GB, a recognized brand (Samsung, SanDisk, ...)
- Format your microSD with your PC in FAT32. if your card is new or empty "Quick Format" it's enough, "Allocation unit size" by "default" and without "Volume label" (blank).

TomTom uses a proprietary formatting mode performed by your device.
- Put the micro SD card in the TomTom device.
- Do a Soft Reset of your device: Press and hold the Power button for about 30 seconds until you hear a drum sound.
The formatting starts automatically after the Reset, on the screen choose the option "Map".
- Or you can do it manually by yourself.
==> go to the main menu of your device (4Dots ....) / Settings / System / Format the memory card / choose the option "Map".

- - - - - - - - - -
For the Map if you want to do simple, install the full EU map with buildings for all countries (8533 MB).
- open the submenu of the EU map, in "My content" go down in "My Maps", click on the map picture, not on the button and choose "Install on SD Card".

- - - - - - - - - -
If you want another EU map zone, like EU with Buildings only for Benelux, or EU without Buildings you need to cheat a little.
- open the submenu of the EU map, in "My content" go down in "My Maps", click on the map picture, not on the button and choose "Install on Device" (internal memory), not SD Card.
- MDC finds that it can't install the full EU map and opens a window with 3 choices. Choose the 1st "Remove some unused content".
- A new window. In the right part choose the tab "On your memory card".
In the left part "On your Account" click under the EU map on the choice "Select a map with limited buildings", select the zone you want, Benelux or another and click on "Continue".
- In "On your Account" click on the EU zone to select it then on the arrow "install 1 item".
- Now click on "Continue" then "Confirm" then "Agree and Install".
Let's go!

- - - - - - - - - -
I advise you to always keep the small map in the internal memory of your device. Thus Your device will always be functional and you will always have the choice of the location of the maps.

Regards.

Hi @JoopvdM1

Due to the size of the EU map the update takes a lot of time, especially without a fast internet connection.

I use the "EU map without Buildings".
For version 10.25 (7466 MB) with a 17.5 Mbps internet connection (I don't have fiber)
- Total time = 1h 46 min (download 65 min + install 41 min)

If the process couldn't be finished, alas you don't have the EU map.
But you say:

I can see ithe map is on the SD-card...

Maybe it worked and you need to activate the EU map?
In your device ==> Main Menu (4Dots ....) / Settings / Maps / choose the EU map if it's present.

Regards.
