No new map on mydrive connect for my Start 25 (BL serial)..... Only the V8.75 version.

Jawesjej

I have already gave the device a restart, it has been recovered and has had a hard reset. Still no new Europe map available in MyDrive connect.

Can anyone help me with this?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi
@Jawesjej
Welcome to the site....
"BL" Is a Start 25, 4GB + micro-SDHC, MyDrive Connect NAV3 Device....
NAV3 Devices with 4GB On-board Memory... Catch22
Tomtom devices need at least one Map installed before they will Boot-up...
The Maps on the NAV3 devices easily fitted onto the 4GB of on-board Memory, but the Map sizes increases with every update... Now the 4GB limit on-board memory size on the NAV3 devices is an unfortunate, but real Catch22 situation....
The NAV3 Full Europe Map is now well over 4 GB….

Thanks for your reply,

I have an 8Gb sd card inserted. The map of V8.75 is installed on this card. So there should be enough space to install the latest version (1090?) on this card, when I remove the old one.

Unfortunately the new version is not showed in MyDrive Connect when I remove the old version. The only update that it shows then is the V8.75 and some other stuff.

How can I make the MyDrive conncet tot show the most recent map for my device? Most likely this is the 1090 version of Western Europe.

In my opinion, a Start 25 with only 4 GB of internal memory should not have the maps for life.

Did you keep the box that shows your Start has the cards for life.

Jawesjej

Unfortunately I have not kept the box. But the info about Start 25 shows that a map can be stored on an sd card with this device.

Hi @Jawesjej

Look back here later, probably Monday now, to see what @VikramK has to say whether your unit was sold with Lifetime map updates and if he will no doubt sort out your units setting on the TT servers.

Yes, on Start 25 you can download a map on the SD but you must buy the map on the Tomtom website.

Buy the card on the site version 10.90 https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/sat-nav/maps-services/shop/travel-map/ The map will be available for download on Mydrive connect

But I have free lifetime updates.........

A GPS with 4 GB of internal memory should not have lifetime map updates.

easiest way is to come back Monday, moderator @VikramK will review your account and let you know if you have the lifetime cards.

Jawesjej

Okay, thanks for the advice. I will wait till monday then.

Around the time of the launch of the1st NAV GO5000 devices....
Here in the UK... Tomtom were selling off some of the old stocks of NAV3 devices with an Offer of 'Free Lifetime Maps'...
I purchased a 4GB NAV3 GO Live 825 with a Lifetime Full Europe Maps...
My GO Live 825 had a sticker on the box with the offer (I kept the box, sticker & receipt as proof of purchase)

As Willy875 says @VikramK will check your account on Monday....

That's clear. I'll wait for Vikram K then. Have a good weekend!

Hi @Jawesjej
Welcome to the community!
I reviewed the device subscriptions in the background, I don't see the device is factory embedded with lifetime maps.
If you bought the device with lifetime maps, then please contact our customer service. They might need some additional information before activating the services.
Regards, Vikram

Strange thing happened this morning. The TomTom-site says " you have a new map (update). But when I open the link it says: "The page cannot be found".

Something is not going right with this.......
