Thinking of getting 930 - fearing problems

I'd just about decided to buy a GO 930 when I started reading this forum (which is really helpful - and addictive!) and vaguely remembered lots of problems I had when I upgraded from Navigator 5 to 6. I'm now starting to fear that because I already have Home 1.5 registered to a PDA with Navigator 6 I might have problems when I try to install a new device.

It was a few years ago now that I upgraded and I can't remember the exact details but I recall it was something to do with my account not being linked (Tomtom support eventually helped me to fix this but I never really understood it) and not being able to get a device code because I couldn't find the right application file. It was a complicated rigmarole and if I thought I had to go through anything like that again with the TT 930 I'd probably end up getting a Nuvi 760 instead.

Can anyone put my mind at rest?

I run different sat navs within Tomtom home and as long as you register each device to a different email address you will be fine

What I did when I changed from a PDA to a Go720 in April was to create a new TT account with a different email address. Then in mt original account I changed the email address to the new, temporary account.

that left my original account with no device so I was able to add the new Go to it.

then I sold the PDA with TTN6 and changed the email address on the new account to that of the purchaser and gave him a new password that he could then change himself.

that worked fine. Otherwise wait for DennisN because he knows just a little about using multiple devices on multiple accounts.

Thanks for the info folks. It sounds encouraging. I've been swinging between the two devices for ages but now I want to make a final decision and get my new unit in the next couple of weeks before I go on holiday. Until I had these installation concerns I had more or less convinced myself that the 930 seemed to suit my needs better so I'm now back on course to get one. Thanks again for your help.

Yes, many thanks John, the link is really helpful. The Dixon's deal looks good at £320 (although they're currently out of stock). Mind you, and risking going a bit off-topic, the 730T deals look very tempting and are making me question whether I really want EPT (since I don't need the USA maps).

Hello Nakkaned, don't do it! Save yourself £30.00 odd, get the 730 without traffic. Traffic is one of the most expensive lumps of wire that you will ever buy. I would not say that I am biased but, It does not work!

It does not work!

If you read the fora, apparantly it does work with version 8.010

The problem with that is that TomTom have not released V 8.010 properly yet, it was released for a few hours then retracted. Smile

I've been very confused for many years and each new day brings lot's of new confusatory opportunities.

Right now though I'm baffled! Laughing
