Problem upgrading from 5.410 to 5.420

I downloaded & unzip the correct file from the tomtom site, connected my TTGo 500 to pc & connected to mains power. Tried to run the upgrade, it got to @ 35% & the status bar stopped, left it alone for about 10 mins & nothing happened. So disconnected from pc & the TTG had frozen - had to press the reset at bottom of unit. Restarted TTG & had a card error type icon. Good job I made a back up of the original card :D and I was able to restore it. Tried this 4 times in total and same thing happened each time. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong or how I can fix this problem ?

Try downloading a new update from the Tom Tom site making sure its for your 500. The first one might be corrupt.

Thanks - tried it with the Version 5.420 for Windows (EXE) and it worked, it was the Version 5.420 for Windows (ZIP) I tried earlier.

Hello fellas. This thread is interesting to me as I bought my TTG300 two weeks ago and it has the 5.410 firmware. Can someone let me know if there is any benefit in updating to 5.420?

If I were to update would I need to reload the PGPS safety cameras files?

Cheers Andy. I am still new to all this so I may give it some more consideration before I take the plunge.

On a 300 (which doesn't have all the hands-free phone stuff) and if you're not using Traffic, I doubt you'd notice any difference.

(Unless you've been bothered by the "Streets with the same name in towns that are close together are not confused in this version" issue - I haven't so far).
