Ripped you off .. well, maybe. The solution is to find a map somewhere on your friend's PC. If he ever did a backup of the unit, bought a new map, or accepted what we call the "Latest Map Guarantee" after buying it, there's a fair chance that map is still on the PC somewhere and can be moved back to the TomTom.
Here's two places you will certainly want to look:
\My Documents\TomTom\HOME\Download\complete\map
\My Documents\TomTom\HOME\Backup\GO\Backup01
(the above might not be 'GO', but we don't know your model type yet)
If you don't see any map folders in either of those folders on your friend's PC, then I'd be asking for my hard earned Euro back. Present cost for a new map (plus 4 updates) is €55 (plus VAT and all that). Not sure a ONE 2nd (New) is worth that much extra money to either of you.
if they can't be found i will def ask my money back and i don't think he'll make a problem off that, he already knows it doesn't work
i have the tomtom app on my iphone but it didn't work that well on my 3GS, hope it'll be better once i have my 5
Let us know what you find in the locations we specified. It's possible he's lost a hard drive or bought a new PC or something else that would explain no maps on his PC, but we can hope, yes? Just because it used to work, that is no assurance that he ever did any of the things that might have caused a copy of a map to be copied to his PC.
now how do i get those on my tomtom because putting the files where they should be and then try to back it up using tomtom home but that doesn't seem to work
