Using 920 Europe Map on 540m

[bmwpc]

Can someone tell me if this is accurate. I just don't see this as being inpossible to do. Is the answer accurate and if so is there a work around. I would think I could just delete the US map and load (through windows) the Europe map and then reverse when I returned. HELP!!.

I posed this question to TomTom Support: I have a TT 920 and a new 540m. I use them both in different cars. When I go to Europe, I want to use the 540m because I want the bigger screen. I know the 540m doesn't have room to just add the Europe map so I would like to load the Europe map from my 920 to my 540m and I assume delete the US/Canada map from the 540m.
Is that possible to do and how and which files would I delete from the 540m and add to it from the 920. When I get back, will this be reversible?

TomTom Support replied: Thank you for taking the time to contact TomTom Customer Support. My name is XXX and we are always happy to help.

I understand that you would like to download the map of Europe from the Go 920 device to XXL 540. We understand your concern.

Please rest assured that I will do my best to resolve this issue.
Kindly note that the maps which are installed in one specific device cannot be transferred on other devices. The reason for this is certificate file created for that specific map will work only in that particular model.[/B

Customer support is correct.

A map for one unit can't be installed on another, even of the same model.

I'm afraid if you want European maps on the larger screen 540, you'll just have to purchase them.

You'll need to copy the North_American folder to the computer and delete it from your unit to make room for the European map and, even then, your unit will only be able to install a zone from the european map as it requires more than the 2GB your unit has (unless you have a 540 World Traveller Edition which has 4gb of storage....and it still can't install the entire Europe map in one shot).

Thanks. Your stataement about the size ot the Europe map is interesting as both the North American and Europe easily fit on the 4mb capacity 920.

Yep. Frustrating, isn't it but that's how TT sells maps.
