Down Loads Trying to download tomtom home to computer with windows millemium

Click the Windows Start button and then click Documents. Open the following folder: TomTom > HOME > Download > complete > map. You see a folder with the name of the map you were trying to install, for instance Europe or United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland. Open this folder.

Connect the unit to the PC, in "My Computer" (if PC) look for your TomTom, format it, and download TomTom Home. There will be some message, that the program needs to download some data to restore your unit, accept it. Contact me directly if there will be any questions: [email protected]

Hi, I was having trouble too and have found the manual for the 3rd edition online
http://download.tomtom.com/open/manuals/one3rd/refman/TomTom-ONEv3-en-GB.pdf

I'm following these instructions:

Installing TomTom HOME
Install TomTom HOME on your computer in the following way.

• Connect your computer to the Internet and then connect your TomTom ONE to your computer using the USB cable.
• A pop-up window appears. Select Run TomTom HOME. Click OK and follow the on-screen instructions.
• If the pop-up window does not appear, browse to the TomTom device on your computer and run the file named Install TomTom HOME.
• TomTom HOME is also available for download from the TomTom website.
• For more information visit www.tomtom.com/home
• Once installed, TomTom HOME will start automatically whenever you connectyour TomTom to your computer.

Hope this helps, Lynsey

Download the newest TomTom Home and install, then connect your TomTom to your PC. TomTom Home will detect your TomTom and do the rest.

Sounds like you are trying to install tt home from your tt device. Go to the tt website and download from there.

I have the same problem in NL.. TT Home has problems downloading over Wireless connections.
Try connecting the computer to the internet via a cable. You may have to restart TTHome or maybe even your PC. The download should be quicker and more reliable :)

The problem is related to the MTU size and working around that can be very technical.

Hi swissdom,

There are free downloads / updates of tomtom firmware from the tomtom home site but as far as I know there are no free updates for maps. The firmware updates can be performed using tomtom home software that came with your tomtom or by going to http://www.tomtom.com/plus/service.php?ID=17

You will need to connect your tomtom to your PC via USB and have the SD card in as the update will perform updating of certain files on the card.

The update will allow better function and enable faster fixes on satellite's and also iron out any reported bugs that have become known to tomtom so its well worth doing.

Good Luck

I am STILL trying to download the latest Wester Europe Maps to my Go 700. But I have found this answer to your question. Any tips on how I down load the v7.20 to my TomTom? good luck.

When navigating to a location in the UK or The Netherlands you should be able to enter full digit postcodes.
If you are only able to enter 4 digits, follow the instructions below.

1. Download the file below and save it to your computer.
   
   wezipcodes715.zip (10.5 MB)
   
   
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded file to your desktop (on PC right-click the downloaded file and select Extract to).
   
   You will now have a folder called 'zip' on your desktop.
   
   
3. Connect your TomTom device to your computer.
   
   
4. If you are using a PC click Start > My Computer and double-click the icon for your TomTom device.
   
   If you are using a Mac click the icon for your TomTom device on your desktop.
   
   
5. Copy the complete 'zip' folder to your TomTom device.
   
   Note: The 'zip' folder should be copied to the 'root' of your TomTom device. This means not inside one of the folders.
   

this problem just happened to me. i'd just bought my new tomtom one and tested it on the journey home. all was well and i was really impressed. that was until I got it home and went to update it to get the latest maps for my area. I installed all the software as instructed by the on screen prompts and downloaded the latest updates. i then went to turn the device on, and was greeted by a message stating ''no maps found!''

after almost two hours of complete frustration, i then tried probably the easiest solution anyone could think of:

First of all, connect the device to your computer and close down tom tom home. (making sure it isn't even open in the system tray).

Now, open my computer and find the device. it will be labelled as a storage device (mine was drive G). Open it up and find where the maps are saved to. Something like, UK and Ireland, or something similar relating the place you live. Once located, delete them manually.

Now, reopen tomtom home and go to tools. Click ''use latest map guarantee''. It will then download the maps again and install them onto the device.

Next disconnect using the option 'disconnect device'' from the device menu.

Finally turn on your tom tom if it doesn't automatically, and you should be back in business. This worked for me, after trying numerous way more complicated solutions I found in various forums.

Hope it works for you too!
