Maps

Adding a map to your device

To add a map to your device, do the following:

1.Ensure that your device is connected to your computer.

Tip: For built-in car navigation systems, insert your memory card into the card reader on your computer. Alternatively, if your system uses a USB drive, connect your USB drive to your computer.

2.Click Purchase maps in the main menu in HOME.

You can then choose from maps available in the online shop, on your device and on your computer.

3.Click Buy to put a map in your shopping cart.

Click More info to get a description of the map you are interested in and its version.

Note: We recommend using a broadband internet connection to buy and download maps.

Tip: If there is not enough space for your new map, you will be given instructions about your options and how to fix the problem.

Incomplete map installation

The installation of a map may occasionally be stopped due to reasons such as a power cut or your device being turned off by mistake. If this happens, you can easily continue the installation of that map at any time. To do this, just connect your navigation device to HOME and you see the incomplete map highlighted with a message. Just follow the instructions on the screen to finish the installation.

Reasons for getting another map

There are two reasons to get a new map:

You need a map of a country you don’t have already, for example, for a holiday.
Just like a paper map, maps on your device can go out of date as new roads are created and others are changed. Map updates contain the latest, most up-to-date streets and Points of Interest.

There are different types of maps available:

Maps of countries or regions, e.g. France, Benelux, Australia
Maps that cover large areas in North America, e.g. US Western Region
Maps covering a continent, e.g. Maps of Western Europe
Maps of rural areas
