good evening, my tomtom always gives me the screen no map available. if I connect it to the my drive connect software, the program starts a download that never ends .....doing several reset with the power button, I managed to enter the contents of the device and I realized that there are 3 updates in the queue, one of which is the main map from ontre 9 Gb, but the internal memory is only 8 Gb, and also adding a 16 Gb sd card (Kingstone microsd hc formatted in fat32, my drive connect sees it full even if there are only 2 files (.android_secure and navkit_tombstonses that use only 65 KB). how can i stop this loop and set the map loading on the sd card ?? or at least remove the updates from the history? also because I can't even access the navigator menu. Thank you in advance to who answers me,regards

Hi
@ferrarif2007
Welcome to the site....
Re... The Full Europe Map
The early Maps fitted easily onto 8GB on-board Memory, but the Map sizes increases with every update... Now the 8GB limit on-board Memory size on the NAV4 devices is an unfortunate, but real Catch22 situation....
The latest NAV4 Full Europe Map size is now 9GB +
I see you have installed a branded 16GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Memory Card....
On Monday @VikramK can add a small Venezuela Map to your device to act as a keeper and to avoid the 'Catch22' No Maps Found error....

Hi @ferrarif2007
Welcome to the community!
Could you send me the serial number of your device through a private message, please?
Thanks, Vikram

Hi @VikramK, ok sent, thanks0

Hi @ferrarif2007
Thanks for sending the serial number...
There are too many pending jobs stuck in the download queue as you have tried to install all the updates in on go.....
The advice would be to-
-- Remove SD card from the device
-- Connect the device to PC with MyDrive Connect running
-- The pending downloads will automatically fail at this point.
-- Once done, insert the SD card and download one update at a time using the My Content tab on the top.
Regards,
Vikram.

hy Vikram,I can't select the contents when as I connect the download the tomtom screen starts to turn and the pc screen with my drive connect is blocked on the % of the download0

sorry, but I had to go to work ... Maybe I didn't explain myself well ... then Mr. Vikram, surely I was wrong to select all the updates, but I did it automatically as I always did, then if the device it has too small a memory to support lifetime updates of the maps (as advertised on the packaging !!!) it certainly is not my fault .... to solve the problem I am trying to scrupulously follow its directives described above, but unfortunately when I connect the tomtom (without sd card) to the pc with mydrive connect running, the download starts immediately without giving me the possibility to be able to select and remove the updates ....

Hi @ferrarif2007
Thanks for the updates.. Before you try the steps above try the below-
1. Disconnect the device from the computer.
2. Exit MyDrive Connect (if still open)
3. Delete the HOME3 folder located at
C:\Users\"Your username"\AppData\Local\TomTom\

good morning Mr. Vikram, thank you for your patience .... I have performed the suggested operations several times, unfortunately as I connect the tomtom to the pc, as I said above, the MyDrive Connect content screen disappears immediately and the HEADING_UPTADING screen appears without having time to perform any operation!0

good evening, maybe i'm really denied but i just can't get this nice device back ... i thank those who wasted time with me answering my stupid questions.
I apologize if my English was not correct, but not knowing the language I made use of the google translator

Hi
@ferrarif2007
Firstly Try....
Disconnect your Tomtom device....
(Do not Reconnect your device until instructed)
Logout of MyDrive Connect....
From the Power menu 'Restart' your PC (NOT Turn it Off 'n' On again)....
Run MyDrive Connect....
Login to MyDrive Connect....
Connect & Start your device....
________________________
If you are still having problems with MyDrive Connect... I find deleting the "HOME3" and the "MyDrive Connect" folders in the MyDrive Connect Program will usually bring MyDrive Connect back to life...
If you have installed MyDrive Connect to the default location using Windows 10
It's located here... C:\Users\"Your Computers Name goes here"\AppData\Local\TomTom > (HOME3 & MyDrive Connect Folders)
Delete both the Home3 and the MyDrive Connect folders; they are most likely to be corrupted
If you delete the Home3 and the MyDrive Connect folders it removes the Cache Folder & Contents, Prefs.ini, cookies.ini. Logs and Configuration.xml
A new Home3 Folder and MyDrive Connect folders and their contents are created fresh the next time you use MyDrive Connect
NEVER... Have your Tomtom device connected to your PC when....
(1)... The first Install of MyDrive Connect (Including Uninstalling & Reinstalling MyDrive Connect)
(2)... Updating the MyDrive Connect program
(3)... Modifying MyDrive Connect (i.e... Deleting the Home3 and the MyDrive Connect folders as in the workaround shown in the link below)
It can have an adverse effect on the USB Driver install….
Note... You cannot delete a file from within a Program, when the Program is already running...
You >> MUST << quit MyDrive Connect >> EVERY << time you want to delete the Home3 and MyDriveConnect folders...
_______________________
Method…
If MyDrive Connect auto 'Starts when your Computer starts' (Default)...
(1)... Disconnect the Tomtom device from the PC and Reset it by holding down the off button for 20 secs until you hear the ‘drumbeat’ release the button (Do not reconnect your device to your PC)
(1.1)... Then 'Right Click 'on the MyDrive Connect Icon on the PC Taskbar and Click 'Quit' MyDrive Connect....
OR
You could use 'Task Manager' to Quit MyDrive Connect
Method....
On the keyboard press Alt + Ctrl + Delete
Select 'Task Manager'
(1)... Right Click on Tomtom MyDrive Connect --> Select 'End Task'
(2)... To open the ‘Run Box’ on the PC
Press the 'Windows button' + 'R' Key
(3)... The Run Box opens... Type into the ‘run’ box.... %localappdata%/TomTom
(4)… Press Enter
(5)... A new window opens
(6)... Delete both the Home3 and the MyDrive Connect folders; they are the most likely to be corrupted
(7)… Close all windows
(8)... Turn on the SatNav and reconnect it to the PC
(9)... Open/Run ‘My Drive Connect...
A small Menu Window opens with 3 menu options....
Important....
Option (2) Needs to selected for MyDrive Connect to work correctly....
The 1st & 3rd options are optional (I always deselect both options and set up a Desktop Short-cut to Start MyDrive Connect, I don't want MDC running all the time on my PC)
(10)... Click OK
(11)... Login to MyDrive Connect as if was a fresh install...
Hopefully all should now be well
Note... You may want to create a Desktop Short-cut to the access the Home3 and the MyDrive Connect folders
If you have installed MyDrive Connect to the default location using Windows 10
The full short-cut path Is here...
C:\Users\"Your Computers Name goes here" \AppData\Local\TomTom

Hi @YamFazMan, thanks for trying again to explain the more complex procedures with a simply fantastic guide, but I have scrupulously performed them many times and with different PCs, but the problem arises when I connect the tomtom ..... as MyDriveconnect recognizes the device it starts instantly the download and the pc screen freezes on the download screen and it doesn't move anymore ... I don't have the material time to deselect the updates in my contents ... because first the device gives me not connected, then how it recognizes it starts the download ... I also got help from my son ... while he was connecting the tomtom I was ready with the mouse pointer to try to flag the updates to be blocked..I don't know what to do ... honestly the procedures are now simple for me, so i don't think i can just solve the problem....
regards
I'm safe0 -
hello, after several attempts, at this point I give up, I thank everyone for the support, I'm sorry to have disturbed, at this point the navigator throws it ... I think it will learn to fly0
