Hi chriscarminat02
When updates are offered for download, before proceeding with the installation could you check the map version offered under more info-
Make sure that its v10.40 which is the latest one.

Many thanks for your reply, my problem is I don't get as far as this page, it won't go past "Getting these updates automatically" where the loading button just continually says loading but never loads.0

Hi @chriscarminat02
Have you tried reinstalling TomTom HOME on your computer?
We have released a new version last week, you can download it from our FAQ support page-http://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7448

Hi @chriscarminat02
If you have a PC could you try uninstalling again using Revo Uninstaller which has been successful for a number on here. The reinstall again from the page Vikram linked.

Hi Doug many thanks for that, the revo did find a few old versions! Unfortunately when re installed same thing happened, I log in go to update my carminat, and then get stuck on "Checking for updates for your navigation system" Loading. And doesn't load!1

I seem to have lost the maps altogether on my card now!
How do I wipe it and start again!
Many thanks Chris0 -

Hi Chris
You still have an active subscription for Europe map update service.
However the error- " Checking for updates " is a known issue with TomTom HOME and we have a ticket which is under investigation.
