is there a limited valid time for the download?Īnd when you download a map, do you first have to download on your computer and later download on my tomtom? But none of this appears no where that I bought a map, and worse is that the map I wanted appeared in 'add maps', but it says I have to buy it again!! When you buy a map from tomtom's site, is there any downloading button right after the payment page? I'm scared I missed 'the download page' or something.

#TOMTOM HOME ACTIVATION CODE FREE HOW TO#
I payed 89 euros for a map and I got their payment confirmation email and allīut I just don't get how to download and install the map I bought, on my device. I recently got a tomtomgo 630, and bought a map from their site Trash and the spotlight directory) on the SD-card solves the problem.Īnd yes, why would a simpe download and copy process be made so difficult? I don´t know since when payment-services like Kagi are around, but instead they are forcing you to overcome these connectivities problems, or making me use crappy Windows software to do it is only caused by the DRM these companies use. I found out later, that deleting the invisible files (e.g.DS_Store. Of course any subscription discount had expired. Weeks and weeks later (thanks god I made a backup before!) and after several reminders I got it back. Then the SD card wouldn´t be accepted, neither in the nav-system nor in a reader. Yes, dear customer, go and buy a windows copy to use the friggin thing. Just when I happily trashed all windows instances I had virtual machines for, I got to get me a new one. Navigon uses a completely screwed fat client for fresh maps, which requires you to use Windows. Just for reasons of doing justice to TT: At least their software (sort of) runs on a Mac. You can only select Western Europe, and that fails.ĭouble fault. Result: the device no longer knows it ever had a North America map. TomTom Home was happy copying the map to the GO, and then it decided again, that *I* had removed the device, when the drive was still mounted: I had to try out if this is an isolated instance.
This was the situation before I tried to update the North America map:Įurope would no longer work, but I still hat the North America map.
The only people who win are not your customers.Ĭonclusion: stay away from TomTom Home if you need a working map. Every single time, a free product is better than what you sell, you lose. Your DRM does not hurt those folks in any way. Unprotected for anybody to install who does not want to pay you. Repeat after me: DRM is bad for the customerĪnd TomTom, I have a secret to share. It was well connected, but TomTom Home has decided I disconnected it.

But no, the device has to sit well connected until the download to the Mac is complete. The software could very well just download the map and then worry about the device when it is actually installing the map. Why is it so important I do not disconnect? I can only imagine it is a DRM issue. The process has turned a perfectly good TomTom device into a well designed paper weight. The old one is gone, the new one cannot be activated. But TomTom Home has decided I had disconnected the device. The Mac did not go to sleep since I am writing a text. It is sitting in its docking station, the Mac is showing the internal storage as mounted. Why should I? Let's ask TomTom Home:Īh, *I* have disconnected the device.
Yesterday TomTom Home told me a number of times that I had cancelled: They are going to break your device when you do so. You may have bought both with the device, but when you update, there are two subscriptions.Īfter you insert the Activation Code into the application, TomTom Home starts downloading the update, and it warns you ! IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect your navigation device. You actually need two subscriptions, if you want to keep the Europe and North America maps updated. Yesterday they sent me Activation Code so that I can update the maps in my GO 940 LIVE. You can't miss the adverts in your TomTom Home application. TomTom Map Update fails big time by Volker Weber
