why my computer does not detect my tomtom xxl
946251
Mine does this every now and again. In just over a year, I have had to re-load the 'home' software twice, while the seller website forgets about me too. I stopped getting reminders about newly updated maps too. I spent several hours yesterday reinstalling and 'reminding' the website who I am. Tech support have a record of me, but it is not easy to find anything about my account when I first connect. Most of their website is geared towards newer units, which is reasonable, I guess. Basically, just reinstall the software, and go from there.

Not sure, but I would think you should. Best bet would be to contact TomTom for this answer.

Mine was trying to charge me as well until I activated my lifetime maps. If you have the TOMTOM home downloaded go to tools (at the top left of the page) and down to use latest maps guarantee. This worked for me at least. If that doesn't work for you then I would call the customer service number.

You should have gotten a book when you bought your TomTom.. But any ways, Just plug the TomTom charger into your lighter ( or phone charger) in your car and then plug it into the back of your TomTom.. It will charge it. Then when it is charged.. just tap the screen lightly and it should start working. I hope that this message helps you... Gator

Hey, Andrew, I bought the TomTom One 125 at Christmas. I bought one for myself and one for my mother, who will probably never use it, but she doesn't use anything we get her for Christmas anyway. The TomTom One 125 works great with Macintosh. When you plug it into your Mac (I've used it with my MacBook), it will ask you to confirm on the GPS that you want to connect to your computer. It will then show up like a Disk Mount on your desktop. You should also download the Tom Tom Home software for Mac, which works great as well. Once your GPS is attached to your Mac, you can do things like update maps, buy new maps, buy voices, buy different icons, etc. More importantly, you can join Mapshare to get the latest corrections to maps. The 125 is basic, easy and cheap. You're right. But, that's the great thing about it. I didn't want a video player, .mp3 player, etc. in my GPS. I just wanted a GPS. The mount that comes built in to this thing is also great. I love that it is compact and that it was under $100. Hope this helps!

Here's the fix for the white screen issue. No need to exchange the unit. Just a software download from TomTom and it's all fixed. Worked like a charm!! http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?FID=8578&Lid;=4

Go to www.TomTom.com/getstarted the new devices use a web based updater not the home software.

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

The TomTom operates either on its internal memory, or on the SD card. If you want it to use the maps on its internal memory, turn it on without the card inserted. If you want it to use the maps on the card, plug the card in, before you turn the unit on. If the maps are obtained in the correct way, the card will also be loaded with an up to date operating system. It is the lack of this that is your problem. It does happen that downloads become corrupted in some way, so it may help to plug the TomTom into your PC, connect on-line to TomTom and try an update. Could be that any corrupt data is replaced, allowing the unit to operate normally. The TomTom operates either on its internal memory, or on the SD card.

Sorry, haven't tried to do that, so have no answer. My first thought would be to go to the TomTom website and research their downloads. Good luck.

Haven't tried to update since I just got my GPS. HOWEVER - it gives the wrong directions....When the map clearly shows to turn one direction, the voice prompt says to turn the opposite. Finally, I just turn it off and follow the road signs!!!! Not happy with my TomTom!!!

Hi Sasha, TomTom has another version of the device that is called the "XL 340TM LIVE," which is available from Amazon. SamKT and I are wondering if this version has lifetime LIVE services or if it uses an RDS receiver for the "lifetime traffic" updates. After a little more searching on TomTom's website, I believe that the "lifetime traffic" is probably an RDS device since they sell that accessory in the online store. However, I e-mailed TomTom customer support and will post any reply that they send.

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.

it counts, but not accurately. And there is no way to edit the info on TomTom's MySport website or apps. I sync with RunKeeper which does allow me to edit the distance, but since TomTom only transfers the most basic of information from the watch, prepare to bust out your maths
