However, until "the team" get off their proverbial 4rses why can't you put a prominent Banner warning YOUR customers about this; or am I talking to the hand? :s

You need to find/see the SERIAL No then you can check here https://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9508/locale/en_GB and/or https://discussions.tomtom.com/en/discussion/1014468/serial-numbers-uk-devices-names

@DougLap I agree that a banner won't fix things BUT, until TT get something concrete to stop this then surely they should show they DO CARE and take the responsibility to warn users via a forum-wide banner at the very least which is easy to do by the mods and/or admin here?

This was originally reported back on 9th April (and "flagged to TomTom" that same day) but these sites are still there and, more importantly, THERE IS STILL NO ANNOUNCEMENT, WARNING OR BANNER HEADLINE anywhere on this forum telling YOUR customers to be aware of this scam. Do TomTom not care that their customers are being…

How about telling people what/how/if this is resolved for you?

I totally agree that TT should do something NOW to at least PROMINENTLY warn people about this even if they can't close these cowboys down (why not?) as I said in my other post:- "Until TT close these down (and even afterwards perhaps), shouldn't there be a prominent warning banner right across all these forums reminding…

Could have been Julian Assange hacking into the TT system? Oh no, I forgot, he's no longer active in that sphere ;) Shame TT have not yet resolved this serious breach as discussed further here https://discussions.tomtom.com/en/discussion/1110982/sold-lifetime-mas#latest

It will depending on which GO 520 you have; the new still-supported model that uses MyDrive to connect to the TT servers or the old version that uses TTHome I'm guessing if it's the new version you should just be able to add the postcodes ("zip") folder to your device via MyDrive. If it's the old version then you can grab…

Can you not add an SD card to extend the memory as that's what it's for (or do you have a device without an SD card slot in which case you will have the option to download & install sections of the map you bought)

Until TT close these down (and even afterwards perhaps), shouldn't there be a prominent warning banner right across all these forums reminding people not to fall for this BS?

TT really should close this cowboy down immediately as it's blatantly a scam site!

I'm sorry Kerri but it certainly sounds like you've been scammed/robbed. Never heard of a pop-up chatbox or chance to buy lifetime maps or a company calling themselves GPS Update Centre UK either For sure, contact your bank/paypal or however you paid ASAP and get the payment stopped/reversed. Worst case, contact the police!

Did you clean under/around the screen bezel? Alternatively you may need to google "screen calibration" or similar or check out some similar problems here:- https://discussions.tomtom.com/en/search?Search=screen+calibration

According to various forums, the main problem actually relates to devices that use the GL chip (Global Locate) chipset rather that the SirfStar III chipset. Furthermore, apparently some "identical devices" (those with the same 1st 2 digits of the Serial No) differ in the chipset due to different manufacturing plant/country…

Don't hold your breath as this is "just" a user form although run by TT employees. answer 1 Why should they be too generous when they've got you over a proverbial barrel answer 2 The new models (Nav 4 & 5) are not affected by this WNRO

....BUT you'll also need to upgrade your bootloader for that older device to read bigger cards too:- Virtually all larger capacity SD cards and microSD cards are now classified as SDHC and will not run in older devices without changing the system (bootloader) file. This applies to all pre x20 models like the x00's, x10's…

I agree with dhn, ALL these NAV2 devices from the x20's onwards will easily run a 16 or even 32GB SD or MicroSD card without a problem. Only the previous, older devices like the One, XL, x00's & x10's need a different bootloader to read bigger SD cards.
