Hi @Agula

May be more fruitful if you advised what Tomtom unit you have , what you have tried to do re connecting to your TT unit to your PC , what Software you have downloaded on your PC.etc etc.

With more information we could possibly resolve any difficulties you have. Your post does nothing to assist us in resolving anything.

i had an issue when i got it than was " fixed " and i could registr. my nav . I wasnt using device since feb. and as i go for h-days i decided to buy maps today .. doesnt make any different what pc system as i never change my system since device was connected 1st time .. so logically should still works with no issue - i just wasted 2 hours with tom tom to try to find solution or answer ... if it will be like that each time ..i want to get my money back ...that is all ... i have no time to waste for tom tom because there will be always some problem as i can see .i didnt buy car nav to keep email service each time when i try to connect my nav . its pure joke

Hi

So still no advice on the Tomtom Model. As you still have the same system have you made sure your Tomtom Software on the PC is up to date.

Maybe this Video will help.

Unfortunately you have managed to write a very lengthy reply which hasn't addressed any of DougLap's requests for information. Without any of this it's impossible to help you get to the bottom of what may be a completely fixable situation.

So to reiterate...

Hi

Why are you buying a map as don't you have lifetime updates for the map that comes with the unit.

If you are buying a map because you are going to an area not covered by the map then have you checked to see if the map will also fit in the 16GB internal memory or do you need to install a Micro SD Class 10 card in the extra memory slot to take the map. For example you cannot get the USA map and the European map on the internal memory together.

Here is a video re difficulties connecting to the MyDrive Software on your PC. Does that help resolve your difficulties. It did for someone else this morning within 10 minutes of watching it.

If you want to reinstall MyDrive here is where to get software.

i want to buy a maps because i got just maps that doesnt include country in EU that i go to( for my h-days )... logically ..i wouldnt buy if i would have ...start52 comes with western eu .. and its not enough ... here is the reason thank You for Your answer anyway

DougLap

Hi

Be aware that if you think that you can buy the Eastern European map to cover the areas you want then remember that the no satnav will calculate a route that needs both maps to work. to create a route. You need the full European map to be able to do that.

The full European map is nearly 9GB so how much free memory have you got on your Internal memory to accept more maps.?

HI

The Start 52 requires you to download MyDrive Connect Software. The Tomtom Home software is for the older models and will not link to your Start 52..

See my link for software on my previous post.

Hi
@Agula

"Insurance" That's Nonsense???
I hope you haven't logged onto or phoned one of the Scam/Fake Tomtom sites that have been appearing over the last couple of weeks

Hi @Agula

I have a horrible feeling @yamfazman could be right.

What country are you in and what number have you been ringing.
