USB-connected TTG not always recognised

rkm_hm

Like many TTG owners, I maintain the files (speed cameras, etc.) on the SD card of my (Classic) device by connecting the whole thing to a USB port on my (Win XP SP1) computer - which makes it look like an external USB storage device.

Except that it doesn't, always!

On an increasing number of occasions recently when I have connected TTG to a USB port and then turned it on, I have got a bleep (rather than the two-tone device recognition sound) from my PC, and TTG has loaded its navigation application rather than the usual USB screen.

I sometimes have to turn it off and on again several times before it is recognised. It often helps if I remove and replace the SD card before re-trying.

Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to have got worse with subsequent firmware versions - [I am currently on 5.200, having not got round to installing 5.201]

Just a thought - maybe it would help to reset the Go before plugging in the USB cable.

I have had a similar problem.

Noticed that whenever the mains charger is pluged in my computer won't recognise it.

This has cropped up before in a few forums...
For me it only happened after the USB routines were "improved" between 5.0 (as supplied on my Go300) and 5.1

I find that if I switch the Go on BEFORE I plug in the USB cable, it now gets detected most times.
Please e-mail TomTom support and report this, as myself and others with this problem have all got replies saying "no-one else has mentioned this" :x

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that it always makes a bit of a pop / splat sound out of the speaker as it re-boots into USB mode. Must admit I don't worry about that.
