I am concerned that I am currently unable to back up if there was an issue would TT reinstall as if new?
When I view Live My services I have three listing for traffic HD any ideas why?

Hi Lee
Don't know the answer to the eject question, but I have just been shutting down my device and disconnecting. Doesn't seem to do it any harm. I have a copy of the GO1000 manual so I will have a search.
On the Main menu 'Services' page on the GO1000 there should be six different application icons: Weather, HD Traffic, Speed Cameras, Google, Map Corrections and My Services.
As to your screenshot, you have done the right thing by uploading the screenshot to a web page such as Flikr. It seems your link, though, is to your account page: Try to find the URL underneath the picture on Flikr and copy and post it into your next post, here.
This is the accepted method:
1. Upload your picture in an image server. The most common free image
servers are
(1) Imageshack
(2) Photobucket
(3) Ripway or
(4) Flickr
Copy the image URL provided by your image host.
2. Linking an image in any forum site/blog:
Simply use this image tag “[img] [/img]” to link the image.
Example:
[img]http://www.example.com/yourimage.gif [img]

That has been my major concern all along, and the fact that you can't access the file system for trouble-shooting. To me that's even more important than the lack of POI support.
Following your link leads to the mesage "uklee doesn't have anything available to you".

| Lee, the number you require is 0845 161 0009 if you are lucky there might be someone there to answer calls this morning, if not then give them a ring on Monday morning, it looks like you have found something else thats missing from Home_3 - Mike |

This is link to the
Manual download. Cannot find anything in it about disconnecting from your computer.

As the GO 1000 no longer uses Mass Storage to mount it's internal memory there is no 'Eject' procedure. So long as you are sure HOME3 has finished with any update operations you can just unplug.
In testing we found a number of occasions where the device would indicate an update had finished but HOME3 was reporting it had not. So just ensure they are both in agreement although, I'm told, the system is designed to be tolerant of this and if you do unplug mid-update, it will pick up where it left off the next time with no damage.

Do you know if mobile camera are pushed to the 1000 without any intervention from the user -the 740 you had to manually update I cannot see where you update on the 1000.
I know a number of features are no operational, but TTT did inform me mobile camera s were operational.

Not according to their website which says
Quote Speed Cameras - updates are not yet available for your device. Speed cameras are pre-installed on your TomTom device. If you have a LIVE device, mobile speed cameras will be available over the air.Unquote
In other words, as the device has a SIMM card installed, it will probally be pushed wirelessly.
