My Drive Connect - what is it supposed to do?
I am at a loss to discover what My Drive Connect actually does.
When opened, with my Go 6200 connected via USB, I have a window which asks which device I want to manage. When I click on the logo of the device which I own (with the serial number displayed), I am invited to "Update your go the easy way", and have to click "I got it", after doing which I am direct back to the previous screen. I can do nothing else. How on earth am I supposed to "manage my device" from that? It's a never ending loop - there are no other options available on the screen.

If, for some reason, WiFi is unavailable, the device CAN be updated using the usb cable connected to the computer with MyDriveConnect running BUT minimized.

The NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices like you’re GO 6200 update using Wi-Fi...
All the update actions are executed on the device...
Option... (1) Connected Wifi
Tap the 4Dot(.... Menu) --> Setting --> Updates & New Items
Extra Maps are Installed/Maintained... Setting --> Maps
Note... NAV(5 Wifi) devices connected over Wifi do not require MyDrive Connect to be running Even if myDrive is running you have no access the MyDrive Connect menu structures as used by the previous NAV3 & 4 devices
______________________________
Option... (2) Connected USB
If Wi-Fi is not available or is slow/unstable/unreliable.....
Tomtom Recommend... A Wi-Fi network with a download speed of at least 30 MB/S, especially when updating maps which can be large downloads
Updating your new NAV5 (Wi-Fi) device over USB will require "MyDrive Connect"
Get it here.....
www.tomtom.com/getstarted
Run MyDrive Connect.....
Note... The NAV(5 Wifi) devices have no access the MyDrive Menu structures as used by the previous NAV3 & 4 devices
MyDrive Connect will only show a "Splash screen" saying "Connect your device using Wifi" etc
If required You can close the 'Main Mydrive Window' showing the "Connect your device using Wifi" Splash screen... MyDrive Connect only needs to run in the background on the PC TaskBar
Connect your Device to a USB Port on your PC
Updating a NAV5 (Wi-Fi) device using USB is the same as using Wi-Fi, all of the update actions are executed on the device...
Tap the 4Dot(.... Menu) --> Setting --> Updates & New Items
Extra Maps are Installed/Maintained... Setting --> Maps
