You mean it didn't give you any routing? Or you couldn't select a destination? Could you browse the USA map? Did you load it onto an SD card on internally to the unit? Did you verify it loaded OK?

The latest application for TT units will detect if you are in a location not covered by the currently active map, and ask if you want to switch to the correct map (assuming it's available on your unit). So if you switched to the correct map (either automatically or manually) you should be OK.

Was the screen in black and white (indicating no sat lock) or colour (indicating sat lock)?
