Without a backup, and if the map was preinstalled when you got the unit and if you are beyond the 30-day LMG where you can download the newest map, your only hope to do call Customer Support and plead with them to add the map to your account. Otherwise, you'll need to purchase it.

Shouldnt be a problem

When trying too install the updates it always fails at /system installation, Is that due too the map?

 

[dhn]

Did you actually download a new map then?

 

[thedude420]

i have no clue at this point im totally lost.

Connect to Home. Navigate to Add maps. Arrow right (I think) until you get to items on my computer. If it lists a map, click 'more info' to see what it says.

Point is, if you DO have a map on the computer, even in compressed form at this point, we can do something, maybe.

Since it is still new I would take it back to the store that you bought it at. Tell them it does not work anymore. Ask if they can help. Some stores will replace it and send the unit back as a reject. Also is it covered under TomToms warranty?
