If your model is NOT listed then maybe you might want to try this (NO guarantees!!):
- Make a manual backup -- not Home -- of your unit's contents. See here: https://www.tomtomforums.com/threads/how-to-backup-the-contents-of-your-unit-to-the-computer-and-how-to-restore-it.17864/
- Delete all the loose files in the root of your device, in other words, all files NOT in any folders. Do not delete any folders.
- Connect the device to Home and Home should detect you are missing an application and offer to download one. Accept it and let it install.
- Remove your device properly from Home using the disconnect icon at the bottom of Home's screen.
- Restart the device and see if that helps.
Again, no promises.same happened with mine fella, had not used my device for 8mnths, started some delivery work and first night after made sure it was all good to go, and circle and X, spent the last week trying to sort it, but as previous post with link list of devices at end of life, mine is one of them.
Cheers TomTom, my device i spent shitloads on, yet i never even had a say of when 'I CHOSE' that MY device was done with.
Like many have said, time for a Garmin, now got one and all the bits n add ons etc and not had to remortgage or sell a body part
just pissed i wasted a week trying to sort a problem i had no chance sorting pft
