That turned out in an unbelievably long and painful operation.
First attempt. Connect the device to the computer and just push the upgrade button.
"You don't have enough space on the device. Choose what area you want to upgrade"
No, thanks I want the whole Europe Maps.
Go to the shop. Buy a 4G microSD.
Second attempt. Insert the microSD into the device. Connect the device, select the microSD "as the device" and push the upgrade button.
"You don't have enough space on the device. Choose what area you want to upgrade"
For God sake I have 4G free... couldn't you just select that automagically? No, uh?
Ok... let me see how those maps are stored there... ah just a simple directory...
Third attempt.
- Take out the microSD and use the card reader to connect it to the computer
- Connect the device.
- Take a backup of the device.
- Open the file browser.
- Move the 'Europe_2G' maps to the microSD
- Slap the microSD into the navigator
- Turn on the device
- Select Europe maps
- Reconnect the device to the computer
- Push the button 'upgrade'
HOORAY! The downloads start... 28 minutes...
"ERROR! You don't have enough space on your computer for temporary files"
WHAT!? I had 2.3G free... Ok let me remove something. Now with 7G free I can go.
- Push the upgrade button again.
"ERROR! Map decoding error... blablabla"
Jesus!
Find the downloaded maps. Remove them.
- Push the upgrade button again.
And finally after another 45 minutes... I had the maps upgraded.
So if you plan to do the same make sure you have at least 5G free because it looks like TomTom takes a backup before doing the upgrade...
Painful though I would work on improving this... Attila... Michal... you listening? ;)
