Call TomTom customer service & ask them to activate/update your Lifetime Map service. Then connect your GPS to your computer

When you connect your tom tom to your computer the tom tom needs to be on it will ask you if you want to connect if that doesn't work go into your settings on your tom tom an find factory reset and do a reset once in a while while driving it will start losing your position an putting you off the interstate do a reset that will fix that problem as we'll I drive a semi an use mine every day of the week in the past 6 months I've put over 50000 miles on mine pretty dependable but setes want me to do some thing illegal so be careful

must have windows 8, use your usb to your computer and should run automatic updates automatically. if this doesn't work go to the tom tom website and get your updates that way. I hope this helps.

Reinstall software...Then plug the TomTom In, and it should reconnect. If Your Using the Tomtom Pro 7150.Make sure your using The proper Software Version for that TomTom. Go to tomtom.com for Info about what software to use. Good luck.

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

I don't think you can but you may want to contact the company's website - tomtop.com

Sorry, but this has never happened to me. I would suggest logging on to TomTom and posting the question there for other users to assist. If you cannot log on, just contact TomTom.

I know it works with my computer and TomTom but not sure what model my TomTom is

I believe the answer to both Questions is YES. You can View and/or Download the Documentation from TomTom.com.

You must connect the GPS unit to you PC & download the latest update & maps before using the unit. Otherwise, you will get annoying pop-up "Tom Tom commercials" Also register your unit.

Same thing. Unpacked my 255W and ran the updater and it just died. Software System Missing. What a piece of crap... I plan on taking it back to SAMs and buying a Tom Tom.

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 have no issue getting updates using Win-7. All updating needs to be done using Tom-Tom Home, with the device connected to the computer... and while logged into your account with Tom-Tom.

Mine failed just after warranty expired. TomTom was less than delightful to deal with. I would recommend a new one from another manufacturer.

Good to hear that those instructions worked out -- I should be able to figure out what is going on w/ the cut-off speech of the street names.Can you tell me if your TomTom is cutting off only some of the street names, or is this happening with all street names?

I am so glad that you posted this update as Euro updates would have been essential to me too. I looked and found no exclusion to suggest they weren't included. Very naughty of TomTom ! Worth a challenge if you can put up with the attitude of the customer service staff. I had a similar experience with the purchase of a refurbished TomTom which suggested that it had the latest maps. They weren't !!! They were three updates out of date immediately. Buyer beware.

I'm sorry, I don't own a TomTom GPS, and can't say whether it would or wouldn't work.

I have just bought a Tomtom XL from Amazon. The SW told me my map is up to date, yet, I know the map was released at 2007. Instead of going thru the tool->latest map guarantee menu, I went to other menu to purchase the map, the message said my map is 5 quarter behind and then when I tried to purchase, it showed the version of the map available to my system is at 8.xxx.I will have to call Tomtom tomorrow to find out what's going on.

don't know. You need to check whether your system requires Nav-tech or Tom-Tom. I got screwed because I didn't know to ask.

I don't know, but it could be a simple software problem. Just restore the program using tomtom's free software and that should get rid of the issue.

I don't remember but I would never buy another TomTom. Mine locked up during its 13th month and TomTom admitted that it was a computer glitch and nothing I did. We tried several times but could not get it to work so they told me to buy another unit. This was a $400 GPS that was less than one month out of warranty and failed due to an admitted computer glitch and they want me to buy a new one. No repair, no trade in - nothing. I explained that I would buy a new one but it would not be one of theirs. Bought a Garmin and have never had a problem - bought one for my wife and same thing - no problems. Good luck if you buy one.
