If this is the reason it's not working I'll be stuck between a rock and a hard place, live services that work with an old map or a new map and no live services! I think this may be time to say goodbye to TomTom!
I wonder what will happen if I just delete the offending files from the map?

Guivre46...Thanks for that advice. It does seem clear from all the comments that in order to get the new map on my 550 I'll have to update Home (which will then presumably at some point also update the Navcore, and remove the auto-on function).

Like Ratman633 I've also briefly thought about trying to remove the new files before installing and see what happens, but discounted that idea for fear of a bricked device. It's probably an unlikely outcome, but not a risk I'm willing to take.

It's probably going to be a couple of days before I've got time to update Home etc, but it looks like that's the path I'll have to follow.

Thanks again to all for the advice.

The Home designation, eg X.Y.ZZZZ, would presumably reflect changes to its programme. Change to X has happened once and signified a major change. Change to Y happens more frequently, and represents 'upgrade' of performance. It could be a change to the unzip programme, or something else eg the fact that now an interrupted map download can be resumed, when in the past it was a major recovery operation. I assume Z is TT's design/build designation ie the one they got to work on their test bed.

I have a 4 month old Go 820 and have for the 1st time ever on any TomTom purchased map updates. Am I correct in thinking that if I update I will lose my favourites? Is there anything else that may need to be corrected after the update? Laughing

I can't give you Gospel truth, 'cos I don't have an 820. But they've corrected that problem on my GO550 and all the other recent models that I've heard of (my Carminat is of the old school and has its own Navcore and Home version).

Oh great, usually when downloading the Western Europe update it asks me if I want the northern or southern part as my device cannot store the full size map. It's not doing that this time so it's just saying my device doesnt have enough room to download the update!

It's a TomTom XL2
