Hello,

i updated my tomtom Go 500 (registerd and lifetime free maps) but after installing it does not start up correctly.
It starts with the tomtom sound, but verry quickly the sound is like a machinegun, and than the systen hangs.
I just see TomTom and its logo on the screen, but have no access to the device over My Drive Connect.
Is there a way to reset the software or is there an other ...

I bought 2 TomTom Go 50 3D on clearance years ago and never opened them. I recently had someone ask me if I had any GPS they could get from me and I said sure. Opened it up, plugged it into USB power and it turns on, asks for language then gets stuck on "Choose a Country" and never loads any countries. Tried plugging in to computer and installed MyDrive Connect app and it recognizes ...

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to update a Go 300 with GB mainland maps from 2024?

Unit is running software and maps from when it was bought back in 2005. Has the original memory card. Would be a shame to throw it away. It still works and the UI is responsive.

I found this thread but the links don't work any more.

Hello,

I have a TomTom Go5000 Model: 4FL50 and have read some information on this forum, but I'd just like to check a few things prior to putting it aside.

My understanding is:-

- when hooking this unit up to a pc via usb, the pc cannot see it, correct? I ask as my pc cannot see it but I haven't got MyDrive Connect installed (and don't particularly want to).
- the device is pretty ...

Hello,

I have a TomTom Start that has a flashing red X at bottom right of screen and a harddrive symbol at bottom left of screen.

I've read a few posts regarding using Clear Flash tool, which I've downloaded and run but am unsure if it is doing anything. Can't remember where I downloaded it from and the instructions don't quite match what is being displayed on the screen. If it is doing something it ...

Hello!
I'm experiencing constant gps signal losses.
After format and reinstall, nothing changed.
So i bought another XXL and the issues are exactly the same...
Is it a enormous coincidence?
Is it TomTom attempting to force a sale of a newer model?
I wouldn't mind to purchase a newer model but TomTom stopped the one function i use constantly, the ability to add poi's..
I use gps to work and i need to add customers ...

Trying to get SMS messages to appear on my TT GO 520.

Seems that I must have the MyDrive app on my phone for it to work?

"If you connect using only Bluetooth, the smartphone messages feature will not be available."

If I just want SMS, is there another way?

Thanks

I've just got a TT GO 520 WiFi , it came without a windscreen or any other kind of mount and wondered if anyone has seen a good low cost alternative?
I've got a smart phone holder on a flexi stalk that might do the job but it wobbles quite a bit with a phone so am expecting even more wobble with the TT.
Apart from the expensive TT original mounts, all of the mounts ...

Hi all,

I have a TomTom One V4 and the start of the product code is PE and its navcore is 8.041 (possibility it's 8.41 from my old note taking on how to do this). Anyway, the last time I updated maps was March last year. I have looked on the map checker and it appears 1130_12379 has a tick for my navcore. However, when I go to browse around the part of the site ...

Probably an old question but am hoping that there's an alternative to the 'getstarted' web page that no longer exists.

I got a TT Start 25 today that looks like it has maps from 2013 and would like to update it. Is it MyDrive Connect that I need? If so, I'm having all sorts of problems getting it to run on an old XP laptop. I'm a Linux user so don't have anything but the ...
