sukkot: Okay. Find out the file format of the system's map data and see if you can get Nigeria's map data installed/running on it. This should be possible if the device can be read from a Windows PC. I've seen the Turkish map data installed on a TomTom device embedded in a Renault fluence imported from the UK. Good luck 1 Like 1 Share |

sukkot: About uninstalling the British map, I think that should depend on storage space. I really don't know how it works as I've not had a first hand experience. I see a WiFi feature in the picture you showed me. Have you tried connecting the device to a network and doing a search? |

Kufie:the wifi feature is so that the device can update itself as to the new streets that have been created and new speed cameras that have been installed and street name changes. so it has the wifi feature for that and this prevents you from having to go on the internet to do it manually. so the wifi is not for you to do searches on but for the satnav to get current updates. but yeah i will look into having both the british and nigerian software side by side. hopefully there is enough storage for that |

sukkot: Okay, try the manual device-PC procedure. Do a little research on the device and readable file formats (maps in this case) so you'll know exactly what to download. If there's an SD card slot, there's a chance it'll read/run map data like the nav systems on some cars today. Car makers like Toyota that have refused to adopt Apple carplay & Android auto make provisions for map data to be read from SD cards. Nigeria map data via Google maps is somewhere in the range of 550mb-740mb. 1 Like 1 Share |
