Hi. Try this link might help you out. Download free morocco maps Google Search

Are you sure the battery is good in this, low battery voltage can cause all kinds of weird issues.

When the navigation software was replaced, you need to validate / activate the map (previously on your device) again. If your map subscription is (still) valid, you can download a new version of the map and activate it. Otherwise, you'll have to purchase a map (or yearly) subscription, to get the map to use.

Assuming you already have specified where you wish to go, and the device shows the map (of your current location) on the screen, you can touch the screen to see the MENU screen ... then look for (on the Menu screen) a browse map option, and you'll see the route (to your destination) displayed. If you're looking for a list of turn by turn text instructions, e.g. turn right to XXXX street, go for NN miles, etc. you may not find it displayed on your TomTom device.

there are three types of updates that are available for your unit....
Software updates....this is for the unit itself. This updates the software on the unit....kinda like windows on your computer offering you updates.
The second is map updates...these maps are preloaded, and they will need to be purchased.....the 3rd type of free update is actually called "MapShare' corrections...this will update certain corrections on the current map that you have on your unit.

You may be able to get "free" map updates from (illegal) underground sources. But that's not recommended. Yes, you're right, you can simply get a new TomTom GPS and get the latest map(s) for it. Consider getting a TomTom with lifetime maps ....and you won't have to pay for any map updates.

Most of the people selling the batteries on eBay include a guide.

There's a youtube video of it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcbebExQmx8

And, TomTom's forums have this

Watch this how to video. Best regards.

how do i install truck routes in my tomtomxl

register the device, tomtom home will reinstall the original map that was on the unit when new

if it does not proceed when the icon is selected, presume data corruption or in fact no data.
TomTom is renouned for this type of problem.
try rteinstalling the map data from the source.

try a reset first ( small pinhole on rear) put open paperclip end in and gently push the button inside) if this still fails then data installation is the go

Did you try the reset button on the bottom???

It will do that, diconnect your unit and try switching it on, have you downloaded tomtom home 2 to your computer? as you need this to manage your unit.

The battery is probably useless after extended non use, the batteries do not last long

You cannot see your new 500 on the PC, my drive connect is a net server and this is how you purchase updates from now on.

either voltage overload or faulty usb socket. www.compu-sat.co.uk
