I am using Windows 7 and I did not want to risk having rights problem on the root of drive C Plus having my downloads in an external drive, let me move them from PC to PC to MAC. I placed all my downloads in an external drive. Right click the zip file and open with winzip. If its a zipped file, highlight the file ending in zip (remainding files will have extensions z01,z02, etc.). I use 7-Zip to extract rar files, and Winzip for zipped files. Once you find a map link, more than likely it will download either as a rar file or a zipped file. I selected USA_and_Canada maps version 830.2322. Once you find the map of your choice, download the map to your PC. It barely has enough room to hold maps, navigator core, and voices (the 130-S supports text to speech). You will need to search through this forum and locate a map that will fit in the limited 1Gig space that the ONE has. This is what worked for me.īefore you start working on your device. These are the steps I, a novice, would recommend. sorry for the complaining! Back to my upgrade. That would have made the unit more expensive than a brand new one!!! TomTom, that is not a way to keep happy customers!Īnyway. When I purchased my refurbished GPS at ComUSA the sales person indicated TomTom would provide the most current map free upon registering, which TomTom declined because they stated they do not provide latest map guarantee on refurbished products! This policy sucks! They wanted $40 dollars to update my map to the current version and also pay another $40 for 1 year upgrades. Goal: Upgrade maps to a more current version. got the maps from wherever u download stuff from Before panicking about anything, make sure you read TomTom forum see if they messes up with the updateįrom another forum, worked great for me.When calling CS, have your device stand by infront of you.Go to CMD and type TRACERT and you'll see if their server is down If you can't connect to TomTom Home, 99% their server is down.BACK UP your device and map before any update.She mentioned that "TomTom encounters server difficulty" and ask me to redownload the 1.6GB map to my device again. Although I informed her of her issue, she didn't mention anything that indicate this being internal issue.Īfter work, I called TomTom again, this time spending more than 40 minutes waiting on the phone before someone picked up. A nice lady picked up and informed me that she can't help me with anything without the unit present. The next day while at work, I tried calling TomTom support and spent 30 minutes waiting on the phone. I stayed up until 3 AM trying to fix this, to no avail. I then frantically search the internet for solutions, people suggested Clear Flash, hard reset, delete/copy the map again. As I turned on the device, it is giving me YOU CANNOT USE THIS MAP ON THIS DEVICE. When I managed to get connected, I spend 2 hours downloading the 1.6GB map + copying/installing to internal memory.Ģ hours elapsed everything seems ok. First of all TomTom Home server was down for quiet a bit before I can download anything. I bought a TomTom XXL 540M about a month ago - it was running flawlessly up until yesterday when I tried to update the map. and according to TomTom forum, this happens rather frequently. It bricked my device (and many others) who did update yesterday because their server have difficulty issuing map certificates. Summary of the story if you're lazy to read: TomTom HOME screwed up real bad. Maybe helpful to other TomTom GPS owners.
