Thanks Anita and Mike. Have to report that Mike's system worked fine but could not use the Anita method as there was no blue cursor at bottom of screen. Maybe it is my TT device. Anyway, thanks both for replying.[/b]

Raining here was well Anita, but I just stood on the porch and got a fix. Thanks for the info about larger SD card Mike, but wonder why TomTom said not to use the card for anything except maps ? I know there is only a little space left, butI got the impression they were talking about cards in general.

Ah, but I don't have the luxury of a porch. Step outside the front door and I get wet! Sad

Apologies for a daft question, but I'm already in a twelve month map update malarkey. A few months to go until it runs out. If I go for this offer, do the eighteen months start now, or at the end of my current subscription?

I've got two Tomtoms, a 700 and a 930. After several of these 18 month update emails, I decided to bite the bullet and update the 930.

On connecting to the computer, the computer recognises it as a TT930 and I can manipulate the files in the 930 with Windows Explorer, but TT Home fails to recognise it, showing "No device connected!" in the lower right corner. I have tried everything, including the Clear Flash tool and swapping the Home_Images folder with a newly downloaded version as advised on TT support.

So I decided to update the 700 instead. I was surprised it started since I haven't used it for a couple of years, but it worked OK, so I started going through the process on TT Home, and clicked on the Checkout button. Home threw up an error message, which seemed to suggest that the map was not vaildated. I sent the message to TT. The map is perfectly legal, and is the Map Guarantee map I downloaded when the 700 was new. So I gave up, and when the 700 restarted it showed "No map found". So TT Home has screwed up my 700 buy doing something to the map. The map and all the files are still on the device, according to Explorer. I have tried everything, including the Clear Flash tool and swapping the Home_Images folder. When I load the backup of the 700 when it was first delivered, before Map Guarantee, Home tells me "No Maps Available".

Talk about frustrating - I've got two devices and I can't update either one of them! And the update offer is finishing today. Evil or Very Mad

To Spike:

Have you tried a pin reset on the 930? If not, do so and see if the unit is recognized when connected to the computer.
