Hi All...
Does anyone else share this problem? Updated to latest map on my GO LiVE 540 ( may be coincidence ) and now mapshare doesnt work, it says "20 weeks since map update but mapshare is currently unavail"

Logged into tomtom site and discovered a message saying " mapshare do not work with your device on MY TOMTOM".. sent a message asking why, but wondered if anyone else had discovered what has happened..

Thanks as always..

Steve Tigerbear

It happens everytime after a new map for me. Give it a week and it sorts itself out.

With MYTOMTOM as opposed to TT Home? I thought this (MapShare) was one of the features thankfully dropped with MYTOMTOM Laughing

Just checked and MapShare is available for my 910; some 900 for W&C Europe.

Is my TomTom now working for the earlier models? I thought it was still just for the Go1000 and 1005 and that the 950 would still be using Home 2.

Certainly is for me...

I thought my comment raised that question - using MYTOMTOM or TT HOME?

Yes, sorry, that's what I was trying to say too... I thought I'd posted two quotes, but managed to lose the one from tigerbear.

I have a TT510 with the previous map update (3 months ago) I was offered mapshare in the same update session as the new map, but later in the sequence. I chose not to have them as I thought they may have been applicable to the existing map already on my device.

After that mapshare did not work for a week or more.

This time round I included the mapshare offered, and not only were they applied but the update attempt I made about 20 minutes later included some more.

So perhaps not including the mapshare offered with the new map screws up the system for awhile?

This may well be the case, as I went to update the maps on my TomTom One IQ Routes Edition - Europe yesterday, and although I was offered a Mapshare update at the time, I declined it as I thought it best just to let it update the map on its own first (which took about four hours to complete anyway!).

Imeddiately afterwards, and again this morning I am being advised that "Mapshare connection temporarily unavailable" which is a bit of a pain!

I still have the message "maps not updated for 20 weeks...etc" after installing my new map a few weeks ago.

I'm using TTHome...

any advice on next steps?

Same here. Got an email from TT confirming there was an issue with the map updates. Few days later and there they are!
