Clearing TomTom Login Info?

Hello All,

I have an old TT One V1 which I have kept up-to-date with NCs and Map Updates but have not used in anger for some time, so it's time for it to change owner. When I connect it to Home, my login email address appears in the top right corner.

I am presuming that, if I do nothing, the new owner will get that info when they connect it to Home? How do I clean this, and any other personal data on the unit I don't know about, before I move it on, and what, if anything will that do to the unit's functionality?

Thanks.

If you want it clear:
Delete the mapsettings.cfg in the map folder.
Delete the following files in the root: settings.dat, CurrentLocation.dat ,ttgo.bif
Restart the device and check again for your details - be aware that if you log into your TT acount with the device connected your Email will be updated again.

Deleting the togo.bif is not necessary, since the unit creates a new updated one with each boot up.

Also, don't forget the tthome.bif. :)

I was including the ttgo.bif since it can contain the Email address and I was not 100% if this content is created as blank as well.
Just checked and on none of my backups I have a tthome.bif, guess it is only installed if Home was used for the NC, but you're right if present it should be deleted as well.

TTHome.bif contains the device owner's email address. Deleting it will take care of the issue referred to by Downunder in the second quote above.

Very many thanks for all the replies. Is this worth putting in the tutorials? There must be quite a few people who sell their TTs on to others.

Most don't bother deleting the info or do a fresh clean install of map and Navcore onto an empty device.

A fresh clean install of map and navcore onto an empty device is my preferred method & recommendation.
