Is it possible to share maps between TT One and TT XL?? I owned a TT one for about 2 or 3 years and recently bought a TT XL for my wife. I notice that the XL map have some good corrections made. I would like to know if it's possible to copy the map of the XL on the computer and then write it on the TT one. If it's possible witch files are the correct ones???

Thanks,

I have both models myself, and while I haven't done this I don't see why you couldn't copy to the ONE - unless the formats and possibly the operating systems differ between the two units. Input anyone else?

Be sure to BACK-UP your files in a separate folder on your PC BEFORE attempting this, that way if something goes wrong you can always go back to the saved files and reload them from the folder.

Look for the maps folder on both units and start with those files.

Good luck!

NO. When maps are installed either at the factory or downloaded from TomTom.com & installed, a .meta.dct file is created making the map device specific, and it can not be used on another device.
