I upgraded to home 2.2, I thought it was strange so I removed the correction NOT made by myself. The tried to update again still none ? Yet another smooth transaction between tomtom products.

I also have no mapshare updates but that was the same just before upgrading yesterday. Tried today using both 2.2 and 2.1 and there's no updates from either.

Probably a silly question... You are logged in are you?
I thought Home v2.1 kept me logged in, but with this one I have to do it every time. |

Home has always logged me in automatically when I turn on the 720 in it's cradle and select internal memory, just tried it again and another tiny MapShare update, top right hand box now showing 46,212 MapShare connections in use.
Thinking about the automatic login, it could be because I run with a Static IP address on the PC it always uses the same IP regardless.

Yes, I get past that bit.  It even lists that I can download an old map version (less than 12months since bought) though, interestingly, not the current one that's on the device.
It is just Mapshare updates that are not available ("No updates").
Voices etc are also offered in the relevant sections. Actually, the TTS voice options isn't greyed out like a lot of other options though no voices are available - is this populated at present for those with TTS devices?

OK... done a bit of digging.
Try this:
1. Connect the TT to the PC
2. Close TT home and open the file browser for the device
3. Browse the Western_and_Central_Europe folder (you might have to enable viewing of hidden files"
4. Rename these two files Western_and_Central_Europe.mid", "Western_and_Central_Europe.mms" to .old or something.
5. Eject the unit and let it reboot
6. Do a reset and switch on the unit.
7. Re-connect it to the PC and start up TT home
8. Click on Update my device |

| Sorry, apparently the above info is now out of date as v7 maps do not have mid and mms files any more. |

Tried again just now and they are downloading s...l...o...w...l...y. Now appears in the top section along with the unwanted map instead of it's own section at the bottom (where sending my updates through still is).

I noticed this also Gerry. Have posted about it in the 2.2 post. Also noted about everything where the green loading bar appears is very slow.

Map Share update problem.
I have been unable to ever update my TTG 910 using Map Share.
Following is a long history of all the things I have tried in order to attempt to get it working!
My GO910 had been running App 6.525 for a while and my laptop and PC had Home 2.1.2.121. In order to meet the requirements to take advantage of Map Share, I updated the GO910 to App 7.162 on 31Dec07 then shortly after on 1Jan2008 downloaded and updated the map from 6.50 to 710.
Because the GO910 has a 20GB hard drive and plenty of free space Home was able to simply install the updated map over the top of my existing map and all my settings such as PGPSW Speed Camera POIs and warnings continued to work as before.
I have followed the instructions in Home and enabled Map Share in the device and ticked all the boxes to allow "Corrections verified by TomTom, trusted sources, many and some" etc.
When I connect my TTG 910 to my PC, Home shows "Your map is 21 weeks out of date 13365 free Map Share corrections waiting".
If I click "Update my GO" I am only ever offered a QuickGPSfix update, which I am able to download and install on a daily basis.
I have followed the advice in a PGPSW thread to remove any potential corrupt Map Share files. (In Home click Tools - TomTom Map Share - Remove Corrections, selected both boxes & clicked Done). The GO was then restarted but with no luck. I have also resorted to the reset button, but still no help.
On the Go the Western_and_Central_Europe map folder doesn't contain any of the Map Share files (MapServerPatch.dat, ServerLineIndex.dat or ServerNameIndex.dat) other than MapUserPatch.dat which I assume contains my own map corrections.
In Home under Tools - TomTom Map Share - Map Share Preferences, the Select countries list is empty. Could anyone else please confirm what they have listed in here?
The Select POI categories tab has all 64 items selected. I have tried unselecting them all but it didn't help.
On 30Jan08 I updated Home on my laptop to 2.2.0.33 but it didnn't make any difference. I have so far left my PC running Home 2.1.2.121. I have downloaded Home 2.2.1.58 but have so far resisted installing it due to negative feedback about it from others.
I haven't fully uninstalled & reinstalled Home on either my laptop or PC because Home appears to do everything else ok and I have the same symptoms on both systems. So I would be surprised if they both failed to work due to the same reason. Maybe there is a corrupt file somewhere which I have yet to find.
I have tried disabling my AV software but that didn't help either.
I have tried doing the update at different times of the day and late at night.
Am I missing something simple or is there really a problem somewhere with my setup? Does anyone please know of anything else that I can try before I have pulled all my hair out?
Any help would be much appreciated.

It will only populate if you click the Continue Button, then wait for ever, but it will eventually show the countries list for the current Map.
I have never seen the problems that you are having so am not able to give definitive answers.

The continue button? On the Map Share Preferences page I only have Cancel & Done buttons but neither produce a list of countries. |

I have had exactly the same problem as described above with the 7.10 map telling me it was weeks out of date and it wouldn't download the shares.
I don't how Andyp2002 found it, but his suggestions worked for me:
1. Connect the TT to the PC
2. Close TT home and open the file browser for the device
3. Browse the Western_and_Central_Europe folder (you might have to enable viewing of hidden files"
4. Rename these two files Western_and_Central_Europe.mid", "Western_and_Central_Europe.mms" to .old or something.
5. Eject the unit and let it reboot
6. Do a reset and switch on the unit.
7. Re-connect it to the PC and start up TT home
8. It automatically Updated my device.
The main screen now tells me I have 57243 corrections in use. I guess this is right, as I clicked all of the options to update previously. However, I can now see all of the Western Europe countries with updates against them in the Mapshare preferences.
On the basis of it worked fine for me (I had upgraded to 7.10), try the above, as recommended. Respect to Andy  |

Thank you tyfaenor for your post. I have now followed Andyp2002 instructions (which I now wish I had done several hours ago!) and I have been able to download the Map Share updates. The Map Share Preferences now shows the list of countries and Home tells me I have 57438 corrections in use.
The 3 dat files are now present in my map folder and the two files Western_and_Central_Europe.mid & Western_and_Central_Europe.mms which I renamed to .old have stayed renamed so I guess they are no longer required for the 7.10 map.
Is there an easy way to view the corrections on the map or do I have to just zoom in, scroll around and hope I come across some?  |
