Tom Tom One XL - mapping: Is there anyway to update the mapping on the GPS?
2050507
General rule of thumb would be to plan ahead and update your GPS prior to taking your trip. It's sort of like years ago we might have gone through a collection of maps that we owned to take the ones that we wanted for that trip. Would guess that you might have already been there since you posted your question, but going to the excellent TomTom website answers a lot of questions: http://www.tomtom.com/ And regarding your question about the SD cards, this is from the TomTom support section... Question: Can I store extra files (photo's, mp3's, audiobooks) on a separate SD card for my TomTom GO? Answer: Yes. To store MP3's, audiobooks or photos, create a folder (directory) on the SD card and name it mp3, audiobooks or photos. Simply copy the appropriate files into the correct folder, insert the SD card into your device and turn the TomTom on. Your GO will automatically search for these files when starting up. http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=4&FID=7487 Please note that this refers to a different model, but the concept is the same. Hope this helps.

Understand that (it appears as if) the "app" is flexible and the units of measure can indeed be changed, however the GPS Pro itself is permanently fixed to read MPH, not Kph. A quick visit to the BAD Elf web site did NOT answer the question either.Here is a link to the owner's manual. I saw no mention of being able to switch units on the device LCD screen.Have a look...http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0227/2953/files/BE-GPS-2200-User-Guide-r1.2.pdf?760

I have the same issue so I emailed the seller asking him about the lifetime map updates that I couldn't find the website. He responded back with the unit already had the newest map installed and he would send me the link when a new update comes out.

TOMTOM can update the map as you connect the device with computer online. It works very well.

We updated it at GARMINs website. It is relatively easy to do. I think we needed the serial number of the unit. It does take awhile - we left it update over night.

Not so fast. I purchased the unit back in March of 2015 and the European maps were NOT PRELOADED. I had to contact TOMTOM customer service and send them proof of purchase. MAJOR HASSLE. I ended up returning the unit. Happens too often that vendors on Amazon have a poor understanding of the product they are selling.

As far as I can tell, the maps are current. You get regular updates after you register your GPS (just log in with it connected to your computer).

The literature says it uses Tyre for its route planning. Tyre is not Mac compatible. I am not sure if Tom Tom's maps and firmware uploading software is Mac compatible. I use Tyre because its simpler than Basecamp, but its a bummer its not Mac compatible.

Is there some way to update the maps or firmware? How do we know we have the latest version? My wife's TomTom plugs into the USB port and downloads the updates automatically. I see nothing other than MIO transfer, which is not very intuitive or useful.

I am shopping for my 1st GPS. TomTom 340TM is supposed to include free maps for the life of the device. How can they refuse to upgrade the maps on your refurb? slloyd1000@verizon.net

I updated the maps once after purchasing the device as new version of the maps were available. Did not encounter any restriction on the no. of times I could do that. Also the documentation says that it is free for the 'usable' life of the device i.e. until the device can support the newer versions of the map either in the sense of its capability or storage space.

I do NOT believe there is. I am using their "Content Manager" to keep my content GPS updated and it's as slow as the first day I got it. Many times I've already passed a road and/or executed a turn by a couple of seconds before my position is actually recognized (and I am talking about suburbs with no building obstructions.) If you are reading this before purchase, do yourself a favor and consider something else.

Yes, all three of the POI's you mentioned are installed on the TT One 3rd maps. You do not need to enter the address to go there. Just search for a POI of interest then select and let the GPS navigate you there.

My guess is no: the specific models and cable types mentioned are these: TOM TOM XL 335 340 350 335TM 335T 340TM 340T 350T 350TM TM T M GPS Navigator (4UUC.001.01, 4UUC.001.01, 2UUC.002.00). I found a cable listed for the Via 1535 TM, and it lists different models and different cable types: TOM TOM VIA 1535 1525 1505 1500 1435 1425 1405 1400 T GPS Navigator (PN 4UUC5B, 4UUC.001.05B, 4UUC.003.05). I don't see any overlap, so it does not look like the cable that works for XL models will work for the Via.

As far as I know, the only way to update the maps is to buy the annual Garmin update on SD card (about $100) and replace the one in your DNX with the new one.

I think you can, but must be purchased from the TomTom site. I think that you will have to remove the USA map because I don't think that there is sufficient memory in the device for the European maps and the USA maps at the same time.
