Thanks for the update, can you guys in future reference be more specific on what you managed to improve or fix? I know you are working hard on the updates, so why not share some more details about it? Some transparency helps the community understand just how much work these updates are.
That way we now what to look out for and give feedback to you guys if we encounter some issues/bugs related to the update
Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup_tone1:

Merry Christmas :-)
just a suggestion: Can TomTom let us setup a user password for the Rider? I usually left the device on my motorcycle and sometimes people like to "give it a test run". It is a major privacy issue as we have "home" and "work" defined on the device.
I had a TomTom Europe and I remember that you could setup a password so I do not see this to be a problem to configure this on the Rider version.

Your home location is not only a privacy issue; showing your home address to anybody who knows how to operate the Rider can easily find out that you're obviously not at home right now. A friendly invitation to burglars and thieves.
Aside from this, I don't like the idea that anybody can press buttons on the Rider anytime, drop routes, read my email-address, purge maps, even reset the device to factory default.
Nice moment when you return from the restaurant and want to continue the tour... what tour??
In addition to a pin/password lock: What about unlocking the device automatically when
- you're within a small radius around home (and work) location.
- your smartphone is in reach -> Think about integration with the MyDrive App.
All should/could be configurable. If you (TT) just want it.Superuser
quoting myself 3,5 years ago:
https://en.discussions.tomtom.com/rider-51/rider-400-questions-and-suggestions-989171
Still no password/pin to date..
Just joking: Wait for the "Alexa" integration besides "Siri" and "Ok, Google" and have some idiot tell the Rider:
"Alexa, switch on all lights at home and unlock the door. Say hello to the moving services."
See: I can do all of that today. Protect my device, navigation, routing, talk to Google, Siri and Alexa, unlock my device with password or finger-print or trusted-device mode, even just by looking at my device.
Just not on my TT Rider. But on my smartphone.
You get the idea?
Does this update solve the fact that - as dutch support mentions - services are only available when the rider is connected to your phone through bluetooth/mydrive? (they explicitly state services will not be available when connected through hotspot - which connection I haven't been able to set up anyway..)
ut im back. So could you pease update us with what specific tomtom rider problems are fixed with this update? Since the update is for a big range of devices (not only the rider).
Bluetooth problems (TomTom 550 and Cardo Freecom 4) are still not solved (which I made topic for, but was removed)...
