Picked on of these up at car booty for a couple of quid. Owner said working fine but maps never been updated since he got it. Device works well. Is there any way to get the latest maps on this or hack it in anyway to run something newer.
 
Thanks mate, just about to give it a read. Will return when I have broke it lol :)
 
ach well bricked it already. Stuck on stage 4. TThome won`t connect to device. :)

lol...dont think you can brick a tomtom unit, once you have tomtom home installed, it should automatically detect your tomtom one 3rd edition....might need to try it a few times..
 
nope not detecting anything. I did wipe every bit of info off the tomtom drive, plug it into home now it won`t detect. Dragged backup files back in, connects no problem then. But then thats not following the instructions by doing that :(
 
does it get assigned a drive letter when connected to pc ?..try a different usb port ...try windows 7,...also try clear flash tool HERE...also a diffrent usb lead may work...
 
Yes assigned drive letter g: Tried 2 cables, 4 ports and im using windows 7 :) Flash tool made no difference. lol
 
Don't delete everything off of it when patching if your updating maps just delete the old maps folder and stick the new one on. Google fast activator mate it does the business
 
Think I will need to give up. Lost maps that were on it now. Don`t know which ones to download and half the mirrors are down. Im rubbish with these things. I should stick to knitting :(
 
Look for the uk&ireland maps 885-4059 mate you have the same sat nav as my missus and I've got those maps on hers :)
 
browsing for them just now. Can`t seem to get a working download. I shall attack again tomorrow
 
some one on here posted for a pm for links for that map

Towel is being thrown in. Maps downloaded onto device ran the fastactivate thing all seemed ok. Turn on device and no maps found :( New I should have got a garmin lol
 
I got maps on it. :) Then it states they are the wrong maps and can`t be used. :( 885 4059. That should be right :(

Got it working, yes. Postcode only does first 3 digits mind you. I shall work on it :)

You need to set the keyboard to small qwerty for post codes on the ttone
