Please forgive my ignorance and I apologise if this has been asked before somewhere. I've read the FAQ on backing up the Tomtom data but it appears to be written for Tomtoms with data on an SD card.

I just got the TomTom Go 530 but it had no SD card, just a piece of plastic that appears to be a blank in the SD slot. Am I correct in assuming the only way to backup is to connect the Tomtom to the PC and backup from the actual Tomtom?

Welcome to the forum, you backup the device in exactly the same way as the devices that use a memory card. Simply connect the unit to the PC and locate the drive letter in Windows Explorer associated with the TomTom.

Open the drive letter and select all the files AND folders, right click and choose "Copy" now go to where you want to keep the backup and create a new empty folder, right click on the this new folder and select "Paste" this will copy the contents of the device to your PC - Mike
