No maps after update, WiFi drop out

Gina1958

Hi Was in middle of updating my tomtom and the internet went down, now l don't have any maps and l can't connect to it. I thought l had managed to sort it earlier. It says its updating and after a couple of hours it gets to 97% ad says the internet has gone down, have tried this 3 times with no success. Tomtom says its connected to the internet but it can't be as l have not put any password in!
Help please, we are on holiday and l am having to use my phone to navigate.

Hi @Gina1958

Welcome to the Community! I've made some changes in back-end to resume the download on your device, please follow the 1st video link in comment above to re-download the map on your device.

Cheers, lampard

Same problem.
I heard that their servers are overwhelmed because peoples maps keep getting corrupted so more people keep downloading.
Its disgusting that a 700 million euro profit company works like this.
They think this will make people buy newer tom toms.

I say more Garmins will be bought. Tomtom bankrupt 2020
