Default TomTom 700 deleted the lot ...what now?

After totally messing up installing and deleting POI's on my tomtom 700 i somehow managed to delete the maps (dont ask how)

And so after spending hours trying to sort it out ive now deleted the whole system (a moment of stupidity)

What is my next option now of getting it back to how it was when i first got the tomtom?

cheers

think you will need to rein stall it all....

I have loads of maps on dvd I can send you, but have you still got the soft ware etc on there? this IIRC can be downloaded off of the tom tom site.

maybe also ask on pocketgpsworld.co.uk

I deleted everything off the 700's hard drive

When you start the tomtom now all that happens is that tomtom music comes on then a pic of the hands then a big red cross flashes up and thats it

Just reload the copy you made when you first got it,

Oh yes now I remember you forgot to make one.

if you install the tomtom software on your laptop/pc off the cd you can restore it all from that, downloading maps from tomtom website etc

if not, ask on pocketgpsworld.com

Works on my one anyway
