I am mightily miffed that TomTom decided unilaterally to declare my trusty GO910 obsolete. How can you say it cnnot be upgraded when i have a 20gb hdd available???? My latest Tom Tom home update must have done the trick as my GO will not start correctly anymore, not recognise my AUS map (default) has lost most other world maps that i purchased and so on. This appears to be a sneaky way for TomTom to force users to upgrade....except, I amnot certain that this whole tactic is legal i Australia and as I have a little time on m y hands, I shall refer the matter to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission as I am certain this contrvenes consumer protection in AUS. By the way, i own 2 other TomTom registered in my name on top of my GO910 but I will not be coerced by TomTom to purchase a replacement for my trust GPS. ACCC here i come.......

If your old Maps are still on your PC as a backup ???
Don't delete them....
Here are two Options you may want to try....
Option...(1)
Option... (2)
Maybe worth a try.... This works for me....
I can install all of the updates that Tomtom allow for my EoL NAV2 Start device....
Note... Using this option you will be running a modified version 2_9_91_411 that doesn't call for the latest problematic update to be installed ATB YFM

That sounds weird. All TTs I have come across are actually quite sturdy. Me myself am still using my 15 year old Go700.
What do you mean "not recognized"? Can't access it, or TTHome fails to recognize it?
Before you toss it away, I'd love to safe it from the graveyard and put it to good use!
