Yo… other people having the same issues with the camper version after the last map update. On the TomTom help forum dated a few days ago… clicked on it. Googling “TomTom keeps resetting” brought up the usual links. There is a way of doing a hard reset… turn on the unit and continue holding the power button down and clicking it three times, wait for the spinning cog and connect to a computer running logged in MyDrive… did that too. Wrong was I! Back to the black screen with TomTom up the left hand side followed a few seconds later with the splash screen… and it just kept on with this cycle.

“Ah” I thought “It has done a full shutdown” so I waited… and behold the splash screen with the motorhome appeared. black screen with the TomTom logo up the left hand side. When she returned home I fired up the TomTom… got the usual splash screen picture of the motorhome on the road….… And waited…… and waited a bit more…. So I switched it off.Ĭouple of days later Sue was going somewhere and telephone me to say the GPS isn’t working.

Check the entry for Meathop Fell to get an idea of expected travel time and it worked fine.

No more updates pending, I checked the GPS unit and all seemed well, disconnected the Mac (yes I did do it correctly) and all still seemed well. I left it all connected and waited patently.

The map update used to take about 20 minutes to download and around 45 to 50 to push to the device. I had a new map update pending and the usual cameras and other bits.

We have not had a Microsoft driven PC in the house for over 14 years now, but I do have a number of Mac devices to hand. At home I’m on about a 80Mbps broadband connection and generally never have issues moving large files about either on my own network (1Gbps switched Ethernet) or to and from the internet. The MyDrive (and previously MyTomTom) have never been particularly fast on either downloading updates from TomTom and in particular pushing the updates to the device. Add that to the original purchase price of £330 thats a massive £960 “investment” and I’m not including the cost of two additional vehicle mounts and hard wiring them in! The Final Straw…Ī few weeks ago, just before we were off to Meathop Fell Caravan & Motorhome Club site near Grange-over-Sands, I went through my normal routine of firing up MyDrive to check on the number of updates pending, connecting the TomTom and performing the updates. So if you work it on £100 per annum from my original review the unit we have currently has actually cost £600 in subscriptions. In effect hiding the real annual cost of subscriptions. What this does is move the subscription dates round so instead of paying a £100 for 12 months in one lump sum you pay £20 here and £30 there over the course of a few months. or an offer that gives you an extra few months ‘free’ for your traffic updates. However at some point they have an “offer” where for a slightly reduced cost you can get and extra two map updates. When you buy the unit, you get 12 months updates free. It wasn’t until recently It dawned on me how TomTom try to hide this cost. Back when I did the original reviews I commented that the ongoing costs were around £100 per year for the map, traffic and speed camera updates. My ‘investment’ in TomTom was not only time, but I came to realise that it was quite a substantial financial investment too. Creating POI’s off line to upload was not straightforward and I followed that up with a ‘how to’….

I did post an update to my review with a new conclusion… UPDATE - Review of the TomTom GO LIVE Camper and Caravan Sat Nav. This change over was not without issues and resulted in me loosing my subscriptions… which involved a lot of back and forth with their support line until I eventually got my subscriptions back. I wrote a review of the device Review of the TomTom GO LIVE Camper and Caravan Sat Nav and followed that up with an update some time later when they updated their database update platform from “MyTomTom” to “MyDrive”. Something that at the time was not offered on any other device. In April 2013 we ‘upgraded’ to the TomTom GoLive Camper & Caravan version to take advantage of the features this offered in navigation and database. After we had some questionable routing while towing in France and a number of issues with the unit simply failing to respond to commands on an early morning departure from a site in France in heavy rain in the dark.

I think it was early 2006 when we bought our first TomTom, a TomTom 760. We have used TomTom sat nav products for a number of years. This isn’t one of my usual posts, but if you use or are thinking of a TomTom device, I’d urge you to read on…
