Tomtom 720 no maps founds nothing else

SOURCE: no maps found??

"When I started my tomtom the first time, it started just fine. I conneced to my computer and installed tomtom HOME and it said I needed some upgrades, so I installed them.
Now, on power up, tomtom says "no maps found" and I can't do anything.
When I reconnect to tomtom home, it shows I have maps, POI and other things too so how do I get tomtom to find the maps?
Thanks"

^This is Exactly the same problem I have.

I just had this same problem. Quite strange. I have a Tomtom One New Edition and connected to a Vista Ultimate computer. Here is what I did to fix the problem I was having.

Exited out of the Tomtom HOME application. Went to "Computer" and right clicked the Tomtom drive (was M: for me, could be different for you) with the Red Icon. Selected properties and click on tools. From there I selected "Error-Checking" and only checked "Automatically scan and fix errors for me". It said it found a couple errors and corrected it. I then doubled clicked the icon in the bottom right portion of my screen which looks like a USB plug with a green check mark on it. I selected the drive and clicked stop. I disconnected the usb plug and then used a small tack on the bottom of the Tomtom unit to reset the device. After that, I turned the unit on and all was fine and I could clearly see that an update was applied.

Good luck! They really should have a support bulletin for this as this is clearly a common issue.

You need to use a thrird pary software package called Tyre whic is free to downlaod and use. It's seems to work quite well.

SOURCE: tomtom 720 wont reset

Hi
You can reset to factory default. This will delete all your user data and will turn to out of box state.

This option will be available when you choose the "Show All Menu Options"

If you need more info check the user manual.

Good Luck

The maps are stored on the internal memory of tomtom go 720. You'll have to reset the unit, by pushing the small reset buton with a very fine tip.
