Sorry if this is the wrong forum, i just can't seem to find any info to hand, and I don't have time to trawl hundreds of pages of the forum I'm afraid .

I woke up this morning to find my works van had been broken into overnight, they trashed the drivers door and swiped an old Road Angel that had a faulty wire (hah won't work for you yer ********) and my Mio C210 sat nav, which already had camera points on it (no it wasn't on display, but I had left the cradle on view , something I wont be doing again) . So I was left with zero camera warning devices , the courier company I work for can supply sat navs on credit (I had only just finished paying the last one off Crying or Very sad

) but only had a TomTom One in stock, so I got it ....

I have downloaded the POICapture and POI sideways zip files, I just can't see how I transfer them to my TT , its plugged in but doesn't appear when I click My Computer, the CD software won't install , some kind of error on C:\DOCUME~1\US\LOCALS~1\TMEP\.

But from what I can gather the software on there shouldn't make any differance, the TT1 should appear as a storage device, but isn't

Like all proffesional drivers, I do a shed load of miles and have come to rely on my warning devices, so it is of utmost urgency I get this sorted

I've just re-read that a few times, and spotted the problem

AC adaptor ... does that come with the package, cos I don't seem to have one, and mine was a sealed box ?

looks like my options are either £20 for an AC adaptor , or dowload the stuff to a lap top, take that out to the car, and upload to the TT whilst its plugged in in the car (I assume that will work just as well)

Ilford Dave... you DON'T need to fork out for a mains charger just for this. They only put that advice in because if your unit ran out of battery power while the PC was writing to it, things could get corrupted. Just make sure the batteries are fully charged before you start.

So, your problem lies elsewhere, I'm afraid.

You need to get the PC connection sorted out before you try anything else.
As others have said, a card reader is an easy solution.
Otherwise, try all combinations of:
With the PC on, connect the USB with the One powered off, then switch it on.
With the PC on, connect the USB with the One powered on.
With the PC off, connect the USB with the One powered off, then switch it on, then switch the PC on.
etc.

I'm assuming you have Windows XP? If you are on an earlier version of Windows, you might need a special USB driver, come back if that's the problem.

Finally, lots of people have been caught out by a very simple problem... some of the supplied USB leads actually need a second push to get them to click fully home into the TomTom. seems daft but it's happened several times to people on the forums.
