Purchased European map update. Cannot load it onto my AppleMac computer system. What solution?

If it already has the European map then updating the European map will also update the UK map since the UK is part of the European map. You can get more details of how to update your map at http://www.fixya.com/support/r5628920-update_garmin_satnav_maps

Hi have a nice day!

you'll need a mandatory firmware update

You can, but...

You'll need to load the mapping onto a removable memory card, as your device's memory isn't large enough. Adding a memory card with additional maps really slows the machine down, painfully so. Buying the European mapping pack isn't cheap: you can buy a brand new satnav with full European (including UK and Eire) mapping preinstalled for about the same price. Click here for a current example, but there are cheaper ones if you abandon Garmin in favour of Medion or other brands.

It works out even cheaper if you sell the old satnav to fund the purchase of the new one. When you need the Oz/NZ mapping again you can do the same thing again as by then your original unit will probably have out of date maps anyway.

Please take a moment to rate my answer.

I would reset the whole unit to factory specs & then load map.

This problem is due to the memory card not containing the TomTom application or map. To update the application onto the memory card

• Connect the device to your computer.
• Open the TomTom Home application.
• Click on 'Update My Device'.

This should then install the application onto the SD card. Alternativly, you could perform all the steps above without the SD card in the device, this will install the application onto the internal memory. Note: you may also need to install your maps, voices, etc after you updat.

It appears that this problem was a case of non-backwards compatability with maps to application versions. My gps was on v8.02 application which was not compatable with the v8.15 series of maps. I had to remove ALL the software off the gps, allow it to rebuild using TomTom Home up to v8.300 and then re-load the v8.15 maps. This then stopped my older maps from working.......
I can see this working in a commercial sense; ie every time there is a gps version update everyone will need to purchase new maps, but jeez it's bloody frustrating!!

I'm about to return my Jensen NVX430BT because apparently the maps cannot be updated! The maps installed on the unit I just received are obviously outdated and there is no support from Jensen to get them updated. Too bad, this thing has it all except good directions.

sounds like a settings issue on the maps interface..you have a user guide?

Your best be would be to load it to an sd card.
