TomTom 500 will not update. Has deleted existing map


Hi all,


I have a TomTom 500 with free lifetime map updates. Great I thought, I wont have to visit gsm-hosting to pirate maps anymore.... WRONG!
The TomTom My Drive Connect app is the biggest pile of crap to ever have been programmed. I'm presuming they do this on purpose; break your TomTom so you have to buy a new one.


The first time I tried to update my map, the program has deleted my exisitng map, now wont load a new map. I plug my unit into my PC, it states updating, takes about 2 hours, then hangs on 'Updating device'


Is there anyway I can download my own map and install it?

Unfortunately these newer devices that use MyDrive rather than TTHome can only be accessed direct so you need to check their "support" forum here https://en.discussions.tomtom.com/ and it won't be very long before you see many more identical queries (and solutions too)
