How to get any TomTom Navigator 3 maps working without activation.
1- Run the TomTom Navigator 3 SetUp (from any country CD).
2- Install the Navigator application.
3- Install whatever map you want, to your memory/storage card.
During the INSTALLATION, when prompted for a "product code", DO NOT enter anything, just click on the ARROW to move to the next step.
4- When installation is complete, NAVIGATE to the folder where the country map was installed, you will notice a file called "map_name.mid", where "map_name" is (DUH!) the name of the map (ie: "london.mid" if you installed the map of London).
5- RENAME (for backup purpose!) that file by adding ".old"at the end of it
(ie: "london.mid.old").
6- COPY the file "RENAME_THIS_FILE.mid" (included in this archive) to the country map folder, and RENAME it to the name of the original "map_name.mid".
Repeat the same process for any additional maps you wish to install, including Major Roads of Europe (MRE).
You can also apply the 3.0.1 update available from TomTom' website (if you need it).
Everything should work fine.
