Hi and welcome to the Forum where TT users help other TT users.

1: You dont need MyDrive Connect when your device is in WIFI network.
When your WIFI Network is acepted from your device, you can use the USB caple and MyDrive Connect. In this case, MyDrive Connect tunnels only the Internet connection to the device.
All operations are then also carried out via the display.

2: When you connet the device with your PC, then your PC charges the device and the Batterysymbol changed tu the chareg symbol. But mostly the Pc have not enough Power to load the device.

3: There are different map extracts available. So when you dont need whole europe, you can install Deutschland, Österreich,Schweiz and you dont need much downloadvolume

4: The Battery Icon ist right on tom pf the mainmenu. The symbol changes depending on the state of charge
full, 3/4 full, 1/2 full, 1/4 full

5: Tap Menü/Einstellungen/System/Info There you can see installed Maps, Memory Use and Firmware version

Hi
@wienonline

Tap the 4Dot (.... Menu) button... On the Menu Screen top right is a battery status Icon
Charging... Displays when Connected to a Power supply

Full Charge... Displays when Connected or Not Connected Power supply

Half Charge... Displays when NOT Connected Power supply

Low Battery... Displays when NOT Connected Power supply

One of the worst things you can do to a Lithium battery is to run it flat so at a certain percentage of discharge (Unspecified)... The device will go into 'Power Saving Mode' the screen will dull, and the device will eventually turn itself off (Not Sleep)

There is a Battery Status display available on the devices Status Screen
Press and hold the on/off button until you hear a drum-roll sound Continue to hold the on/off button until the Black & White Status screen is shown.....

If you are worrying about the device charging, you might consider one of these gadgets
Or


Simply plug the device into the USB socket and plug your lead into the USB Doctor, the device will display the Voltage and Power being used by your various USB devices
I have one of each type they're only peanuts to buy, search Amazon/eBay for USB Doctor

thank you YamFazMan and Lochfrass for your fast reply.
i have read all the faq and manual of course. but i am missing a lot from my previous TomTomHome. most i miss the original voice of John Cleese that i can not use any more. further i was able to access internal RAM and changed my Car Icon graphics. i think i have to use mods or hacks to get control of my unit back again..(dont write about warranty loss ;-)

Glad you're sorted
As far as I'm aware since the introduction of the MyDrive Connect system of updating over a secure network that Tomtom developed for the early NAV3 devices Now used on the NAV 4 & 5 devices... The system as not been cracked ???
And I suppose since the introduction of Free & Lifetime updates there is less of an incentive to even bother....
