hi collietrainer have you used the map in anger yet if so how was it

Hi Cliff,
I have kept the 1005 in camper mode ever since i installed the new map. (Not had a chance yet to use the c'van for real - but soon I hope!) So far on the road solo it has not sent me anywhere I should not go with a c'van on the back. So its looking good.

I do seem to be having some problems with map corrections but it could just be my broadband/PC playing up and nothing to do with update to camper.
What happens is My Tom Tom offers me two new items - log in and there are two updates shown, map share community updates 7.8 MB and QuickGPSfix 60.1kb.

The tick box for GPS is greyed out but lightly ticked (I cant untick it) and map share is more heavily greyed out and ticked (I can untick it).
Press the install and both items are now lightly greyed and ticked and start to download as indicated by the downloading clock along side each of them.
My Tom Tom and 1005 screen hesitates at 91% for some time saying 0:12 mins remaining. The download clock still rotates.

Been like that for last five mins as I am downloading as I type. Now says your navigation device can be safely disconnected. Press OK.
On the My Tom Tom page it shows GPS is no longer available as its been downloaded(?) but mapshare still there at same size - 7.8MB. It can be unticked.
Click on install once more and download clock runs quickly 1005 screen saying 0:12 mins remaining.

Same sequence of events and after 5 mins says keep device connected and shows 100% downloaded. Then prompt to safely disconnect. Click OK on 1005 screen. My Tom Tom still shows map update at same size for downloading.
Logged out and switched map to Europe standard i.e. not camper Europe. Logged back into MTT and map updates still available 7.8MB.

Down loading showing 0:09 mins remaining with clock running. Hesitates at 24% while clock still running. 5 mins passes with clock running. 100% reached - Finished.

Now the map update size has changed to 34.3kb. So now I try to download the new smaller update. 0:12 mins remaining. 100%. Disconnect. Navigation device up to date!

But this is old Europe map. So switched back to camper Europe. My Tom Tom tells me my Nav device is up to date. I guess that having two maps on same device is causing this issue - Camper and Europe. Not brave enough to delete the old map ... yet!

Just like to correct this statement, after testing the problem over the last few days.
