in MyDrive Connect
Welcome to the forum.
I have the device 620.
I am using Windows 10
I'm having trouble connecting to TOM TOM HOME. (ver 2.21.1.147)

Displays this message ... THERE IS NO CONNECTED DEVICE.

I followed the following steps.

-I tried to change the connection to the usb ports of the pc
- I closed the firewall
- I closed the anti-virus

I want to back up the device and I can not.
I also want to tell you that I have 110 favorite places on my device, and that I have planned paths.
If I reset the device, it will create a huge problem for me at work.

Thank you for your help.

    Hi @antonis_d1969_greece

    You need to use the My Drive Connect software. Tomtom Home is used on the old devices.

    Welcome to the site....
    The NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices normally update using Wi-Fi....

    If Wi-Fi is not available or is slow/unstable/unreliable.....
    See Option... (2) Connect over USB....

    TomTom Video... Updating your navigation device using Wi-Fi



    If you have successfully connected your device to your Wi-Fi....
    To check your Connection Speed, Signal Strength & Quality
    On the Device... Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Settings --> Wi-Fi
    Tap on Your WI-FI name (The one Showing as connected)
    A new Menu Page opens

    7g8gwfpx1swt.jpg
    On the left-hand side of the screen is your Wi-Fi Connection Status

    Tomtom recommends a minimum Wi-Fi download speed of 30Mbps
    Tomtom NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices will only connect to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network
    All the update actions are executed on the device...

    Tap the 4Dot(.... Menu) --> Setting --> Maps

    I always update my devices one Update at a time
    The NavCore Application and QuickFixGPS updates are force ticked by Tomtom... Deselect any other updates like Maps, Speed Cams etc... Update the mandatory item/s first, when complete update the remaining items one at a time

    Note... NAV(5 Wi-Fi) devices connected over Wi-Fi do not require MyDrive Connect to be running Even if MyDrive is running you have no access to the MyDrive Connect menu structures as used by the previous NAV3 & 4 devices

    Connecting hard-wired over USB is normally more reliable than any Over The Air Connections
    Updating your new device over USB will require "MyDrive Connect"

    There's no need to login to MyDrive Connect... See Note... (1)
    Connect your Device to a USB Port on your PC
    The Update will hopefully complete

    If you're using a Laptop it would be also more advisable to use a hard-wire connection back from the Laptop to the Router....
