For whatever reason, SD simply wasn't "visible" to the RIDER. I popped it in and out a few times. It passed H2testw and works in other devices. I reformatted to FAT32. None of it mattered to the RIDER. Weird. Anyway, a second 32 Gb SD woke…

The SD passed H2testw.

I'm 99% sure this particular SD, which came from my SD spares collection, is healthy. If the markings are right, it was used in one of my cameras. NTL H2testw is running at the moment. What file system (exFAT, etc.) does the Rider look for?

I installed a 32 Gb SD, selected Format in the System area and didn't see any signs of whether the formatting "took" or not. I cycled power and tried to load the "Europe" map set, with the "USA" set in place. The Rider …

Great thanks for the answer!

If MyDrive is only about building routes, why show the position icon moving with vehicle motion? For that matter, the Rider does the same job of route planning that MyDrive is described as doing. MyDrive is a battery hog according to GSam battery mo…

I get sending routes between the app and Rider. The problem is the moving icon slides off the map on the app. That is, the map doesn't move to keep the current position icon visible. BTW, the Rider keeps the current position icon in place of the Rid…

We just came off an 11,000 mile trip in our VW Westfalia camper. Almost everything worked as hoped for. We didn't see the turnover problem. But... We saw no reference to updates until about a week ago. I found WiFi support at a campground and loade…

I know I started this issue somewhere in the forum. Not knowing where that post was... MyDrive app has got to be shut down when not in use (i.e., not tied to a TT device). It's close to the screen in battery consumption. I have utterly no idea abou…

The title says it all. Using Gsam (a battery use report app), MyDrive is a huge power user. Even without Gsam, just looking at the battery level after taking the phone out of a dark place (supresses time of day display = no screen activity at all) o…

You're quite right about the deafening silence or sound of crickets over the (non-)noise. I hadn't thought about the Holland connection. Except I'd expect them to be interested in the height of dykes... My Garmin 660, among its few pluses, can dist…

More voices here...

John Cleese - with samples and cost to buy. No idea whether it works with GO. Ask Support about that. Based on the samples, it might be amusing for possibly one trip. Maybe. At $12.95 USD - TT must be joking.

You're quite right about long trips and one route - KISS. I tried MyDrive on my phone to build a route from my current location, to the library to the post office to home. Adding the library and PO in the correct order was basically like herding ca…

(Quote) I seemed to be on the air and now I'm not. Oops I suspect this isn't just a simple server outage. I'm inclined to think TT may have been at the wrong end of an attack. In any case, it's very, very unlikely that TT would simply say "oh,…

Not a lot of comfort, I know, but all anyone can do is keep trying to make contact with the server(s). FWIW from here everything seems to be up and running - US East Coast. Some days you're the dog, some days you're the tree. Life is like that.

(Quote) Meh. I assumed people figured out something Big was broken, meaning TT would jump on it. Life goes on.

OMG!! ROFLASTC!!! Good one! Scary to think there are London cabbies without The Knowledge. Tell us the GPS is only for traffic checks. Please! ;)

I sooooooo need that. TNX!

If the tracks are on your SD, why not simply pull the SD and read it on a PC or Mac? Or you can try exporting via a USB cable to a Mac or PC. If you can get one track, you should be able to find all of them. The contents are human readable. If the t…

Lighten up, people. Some days the computer world just doesn't go very well. Did any of you call support to see what happened? I did, and I got an explanation about what went wrong. My only gripe is clearly TT doesn't back things as often as they sh…

I then asked if there are German voices that give street names. Out of the box, the German voices don't give street names. There are Anna and Yannick voices, which I got the same way I got Tom and Malcolm. Oh my, Anna and Yannick are grayed out - …

I understand what you're saying. I tried to make clear the conversion may not always work. However, a simple "list of waypoints" route should convert to an ITN within the constraints of the ITN format. I was trying to avoid third-party ro…

I now have Malcom and Tom (about 60 to 70 Mb each!) and will be receiving a German male and female voice, too. I called support and received the files, via my email and WiFi connection. Yea!

Unless the USB connector for your Start25 different from other TT products, the USB connector on the Start is only for power, and uses only the two contacts (+ and -) defined for power. Which means there's no audio coming out of the USB connector, w…
