SOURCE: The TMC was working fine on my tom tom ONE XL but

Try resetting the Tom Tom.

To do this: Stick the end of a paperclip into the reset hole in the bottom of the receiver. See your manual for the details on this.

This fault is often caused by unplugging the receiver from the navigator before turning the navigator off.

SOURCE: I have a Tom Tom

Try resetting the Tom Tom.

Use a paperclip in the reset hole in the bottom of the navigator. See the manual for more details on resetting.

Often this problem is caused by unplugging from the antenna while the navigator is still turned on.

SOURCE: having difficulty in connecting with tom tom to

It's difficult to tell from your brief question exactly what you need. Could you please tell us what you're doing, what you're seeing, and what you expected to see instead?


In general: Try downloading and installing the Tom Tom Home software, then plugging your navigator into a USB port on your computer.

Here's where to get the Tom Tom Home software:

SOURCE: CANNOT ACCESS TOM TOM TRAFFIC

If you're using a RDS-TMC, then you don't need to go through Tom Tom Traffic. The traffic bar should show up on the right-hand side of the screen, and you're good to go.

If that bar isn't showing up, here's what to do:

Reset the navigator (use a paperclip in the hole on the bottom of the unit). Plug the RDS-TMC antenna into the navigtor. Plug the car charger cable into the RDS-TMC antenna. Turn on the Tom Tom.

Is there a traffic information bar now?

The plastic tab that holds it in place is probably broken, so it will need to go into the shop to get replaced.

How to recharge my tom tom online

By online, I'm assuming you mean connected to your computer (via the USB port).
Just power on your GPS, then connect your GPS to your computer, using the USB port, and decline the CONNECT to Computer prompt. The GPS will then still be plugged into the USB port and the battery will be charged.

Tom Tom GO720 wont recharge with car charger inn car, but does charge on USB

either your car charger cord has a short or break in it, or your charge port (lighter socket) dont work. check your fuses to see if it aint something there, then try to find another cord. It wont be a prob with your TT as it is still able to charge from usb. The problem has to be on the car or car charger (still should be an easy fix)

Been given a tom tom, with no charger apart from cigarette lighter adapter, ONCE CONNECTED WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT A RESPONSETO ENABLE ME TO INSTALL INFO. THANKS JENNY

Tom Tom GPS only brings a car charger and a USB to Mini USB cable that allows you to sync with your computer. For more info on your specific unit visit the Tom Tom site. You can also download the needed interface software for your unit at their web site. The USB cable isn't very expensive if you need to replace it. And once you have it, you will be able to update maps or download and install maps for other countries and even some fun voices if your unit supports it.
Download the software you need first and then connect your TOM TOM. Follow the prompts. Install any updates and you should be okay.

My tom tom 300 won't charge in the car and seems to drain quickly when on the mount. Do the charging mounts go bad?

Every piece of equipment fails at one point or another. Wear and Tear. The problem may be the battery or the charger. Try charging it at a USB port of a computer if you have the cable.
As to draining, you can enact battery power saving features on your unit.
