Hi
The Rider 550 is NOT compatible with Home 2
Home 2 is for the early NAV2 devices
The latest NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices update using Wi-Fi or MyDrive Connect and USB
For Route planning & importing POIs, GPX files and Favourites in MyDrive
use the MyDrive Web Route planner

Tomtom Video....
I have Virgin Media 110Mb/s connection Fibre Optic Broadband ....
My GO 6200 shows Wi-Fi connection... 72Mb/s
I chose the 110Mb/s hard-wired connection
I Installed the 9.13GB Full Europe Map over USB with MDC running in the background
The Map installed and device ready to use... 20 Minutes 15 seconds (Stopwatch)

I always update my devices one Update at a time
The NavCore Application and QuickFixGPS updates are force ticked by Tomtom... Deselect any other updates like Maps, Speed Cams etc... Update the mandatory item/s first, when complete update the remaining items one at a time
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

Tomtom recommend a minimum Wi-Fi download speed of 30Mbps
Updating your new NAV5 (Wi-Fi) device over USB will require "MyDrive Connect"
Get it here.....

Run MyDrive Connect.....
Note... The NAV(5 Wifi) devices have no access the MyDrive Menu structures as used by the previous NAV3 & 4 devices
