Working fine here.

Check you have a folder called ephem in the root of the TT.

If you don't, create a folder.

If you do, delete the contents of the folder.

HOME should now offer you QuickGPSFix again.

Besides the deletion of the files on the unit, go here:

C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\TomTom\HOME\Downloads\complete\ephemeris\

and delete any sub folder found there.

Now connect to Home and see if a new file is offered.

I'm afraid the GPS Quickfix doesn't work on the Go500 model.
There's a chart HERE which shows which models support it.

Sorry..... Crying or Very sad

That's the "penalty" you have to pay for using a reliable, stable device - you switch on your GO500, it works. You probably don't even know where the reset switch is.

No penalty really, I haven't downloaded it to any of my devices since either two or three (can't remember) years ago. Wink
