Just an FYI - TomTom Support got back to me yesterday and advised me to delete the C:\Documents & Settings\UserName\Application Data\TomTom folder from my pc. Did this and docked the 520. I was asked to type my e-mail address and Home launched as normal. I then found a business address in Google Maps and hit the Send button. The dialog box came up with the address and I selected GPS and then TomTom from the drop down list and hit Send. Everything worked.
I tried 8 or 9 addresses and added each as a Favourite with no problem.
Support did a good job, although it took just over two weeks to resolve. I've asked them to tell me what the issue was and I'll post the answer when I get it. _________________ Ric - TomTom 520 DEAD - Passed to the great traffic jam in the sky.

TomTom Support have come back to me to say that the problem appeared to be in the Emulator. I wonder if 7.480 was the culprit, as it had worked with 7.122. Anyway 7.481 and the removal of the folder has done the trick. _________________ Ric - TomTom 520 DEAD - Passed to the great traffic jam in the sky.

Hi wibbly
I have been using Tyre with Google Maps for some weeks and it is really brilliant. In fact I would say that it’s the greatest add on to Tomtom yet devised. Nothing else even comes close..
I would also like to sing the praises of Tyre; not only is the integration with GoogleMaps such an excellent feature for generating itineraries, it can also be used to make POI sets. So, for example, I have a POI category for my local tennis clubs; using Tyre/Google Maps it is far, far easier to add new clubs than using TT's own map, especially as the parking areas for some clubs aren't that obvious but can be seen much better using Google Maps with the satellite or hybrid view.
It's a great programme, unfortunately not available for Mac or Linux, but perhaps one day.... _________________ TT GO app on Android Phone
