Unlock TomTom GPS

I have used several different GPS manufacturers' GPS devices, personally I like TomTom better than Garmin and I believe TomTom 702 GPS device has the best price and function ratio, also it is very easy to upgrade to TomTom 940 by yourself which will save you about $300.

Below I will describe how to unlock TomTom 702 GPS. In essence, all it requires is a new license file (.dct) generated based on your device ID and the MAP info. Please note this example is based on Mio C320,it should be similar on other devices.

Instructions

    • 1

      First step, your need to decompress your MAP to *ROOT* of your SD card. Like SD_Card USA_and_Canada.

    • 2

      Second step, edit DeviceID.txt, replace it with your ID (Ten letters or numbers). ID can be found From SD_Cardttnavigator.bif search DeviceUniqueID=xxxxxyyyyy)

      Sample like this: AB2ZLCVYPE

    • 3

      Third step, edit ProgsMeta.txt

      This meta data is associated with the map you want to use.

      Sample like this:
      ; USA_and_Canada_825_2210
      71 83 F7 AB C5 DE 8D 79 30 CB 06 29 7C 46 7B 78 USA_and_Canada-29.meta

    • 4

      Fourth step, copy 2 files (associated with the map .pna and .meta) to folder insert_meta_from_Map_here

      sample like this:
      USA_and_Canada.pna
      USA_and_Canada-29.meta (This name should match contents in file meta.txt)

    • 5

      Fifth step, run RunMeforDCT.cmd, Select 1, Select 1, you will get results in folder insert_meta_from_Map_here. It's a new .dct file. (Unlocked file)

    • 6

      Sixth step, copy this .dct file to map directory on your SD card.

      Sample like this:
      SD_Cardusa_and_canada_825_2210USA_and_Canada-29.meta.dct
