Using new metas on activator

[GaryTheSatNavMa]

I've bought WESTERN EUROPE v11.30 on a GO720.

90 8E D7 3F 26 F8 7B A0 09 99 A8 D3 DF 70 25 A7 Western_Europe-104122.meta ; Western Europe v1130.12303

Using ACTIVATOR 1.20 I used the option CREATE to get the META

I copied and pasted this meta to the meta.txt file.

Interestingly the new meta had a DOT at the end of the meta instead of an UNDESCORE, plus a v infront of the 1130

90 8E D7 3F 26 F8 7B A0 09 99 A8 D3 DF 70 25 A7 Western_Europe-104122.meta ; Western Europe 1130_12303

I pasted this meta again onto the meta.txt file.

When I use ACTIVATOR to try and activate another GO530 using the above meat, but it could not activate and when I looked at the meta.txt file again, the meta had gone i.e deleted from the meta.txt file file.

I then removed the v and replaced the DOT with an UNDERSCORE to match other metas in the meta.txt file.

Trying both UPDATE meta and not using UPDATE meta options on Activator 1.20 the same result

ANybody know what I'm doing wrong ?

I seem to remember that it doesn't matter what is shown after the, for example, Western_Europe-104122.meta ; and you can rename anything after like "my 1030 map" or whatever you want

That meta has not (yet) been added to the TTActivator but I've now posted your new meta in the appropriate thread here https://www.gpsurl.com/tomtom-maps/254914-blowfish-meta-codes-v1130-nav2-3-4-5-6-maps-requests-live-4.html so it will soon be added to the TTActivator database

hi guys n gals, is there any way to upload my own meta to the device nav3 go 1005, ie not using ttactivator's upload meta to device, i want to upload my own edited meta file, thanks in advance.

Just put your meta-codes in a file named meta.txt in the same folder as TTActivator.exe.
Or look in the next post.

There is a up to date meta.txt file. Use that map in de folder of TTActivator.exe

Then use TTActivator to activate you device

thanks for the reply, but can i ask does ttactivator when using upload meta to device, download the meta from a server or will it upload the meta i have in the same folder as ttactivator??
as i have tried twice and the map will not activate but it will with v1125 maps, its like it has no up to date meta's, but the meta i have added new metas to has, just do's not seem to upload it.

If you use “update meta” in the part “Tools” the meta.txt will be downloaded from a server from master131. This is the version which is not up to date.
If you use “upload meta to device” in the part “NAV3 Tools” the meta.txt in the folder where TTActivator is running from, is uploaded to the device. So, if you got the right one there it must work. I have the experience that you must use “upload meta to device” more than once before it is right.
