I don't know how to even begin to download Europe on my TomTom. Is it possible ? Please help. I'm going to France and Spain in a few months. Would like to take my own TomTOm.
Thank you,
Jeanne Ralston
Yes you can I have europe and canada on mine.
just plug your tomtom into your computer and start tomtom home
On the computer screen for tomtom select ADD MAPS
Here you can select and buy the maps you need.
Once you have confirmed the purchase you will be given instructions on how to download etc
Some maps may take a little time to install to the tomtom itself.
you should also ensure there is enough space on your tomtom
If not you will have to get an SD memory card.
I use a 4gb one that still has lots of room to spare
Essentially what you need to do is make a back up of your US maps, then purchsase the maps of France and spain, and download them on to your unit...this is doen through the HOME program....once you get back to the states, then you will take of the Euroepan maps and restore your back up that you mad eof the US maps
Yes you can put maps of Western Europe on your TomTom One Third Edition, but you will have to purchase it from TomTom. Make sure you make a backup of your US and
Canada map before you put the Western Europe map on your TomTom or you will have to purchase another map for US and Canada. Do not use TomTom Home to do this. Make a new folder on your desktop and copy and paste the US and Canada map to the new folder.

You would have to seriously abuse your tomtom for the battery to have failed. More likely something else is wrong . Anyway , ere goes : Take 4 screws out of back of tomtom ( these are star screws so you will need a special tool but sometimes an allen key will fit. ) At the top / side of the tomtom where you can see the join of plastic between back and front. Pull apart with your fingers . Its tricky but keep trying and eventually it will come apart a little. From that you can release it from the bottom connectors by pushing the back downwards a little against the base of the front. A little waddle and it will part. The batter is located in the back panel and is held in place with a sticky pad. The battery wires terminate in a small plug connected to the main board. The Battery should be marked " Edinburgh " and should be rated at 3.7 volts 1100mAh. Once again , its very unlikely there is any fault with the battery , more likely to be the charger or charging circuit inside the tomtom.

Im pretty sure that Tomtom provided what you needed, if you did buy the map...

The switching off problem can be generaly be attributed to 3 causes:
If you made a backup of your SD card then formatting and reloading the files from your PC might cure the problem.
GOOD LUCK

Hi,
First you need to have the relivent map on your SD card. Typicly this will be the Tomtom Map " Western Europe ". When you purchase maps from TomTom you also get an activation code and instructions telling you how to install the map onto your device and how to authorise it using the code that comes with it.
Before doing anything ... BACK-UP your existing data ( the whole SD card ) onto your computer . This will ensure that if any update is unsuccesful you can at least return things to the way they were before you tried to update.
There are several ways to obtain maps
With ANY of the above methods------- BACK UP your existing SD card first . In fact ... make a BACK UP NOW , then if anything goes wrong at any time , you can at least revert back to your backup.
Good Luck

All you need is a map that covers the countries you will visit...
