920 7.481.
Home says I've got 42372 mapshare corrections loaded but I haven't been offered an update to them for a few days. Early this week there were updates available every time I did an update check, even just minutes apart.

Going into the mapshare preferences, the list of available countries is empty but the poi tab is populated. I have europe on the device and usa on an sd card. Switching between devices, neither show any countries in the mapshre preferences.

I'm thinking I've messed something up manaually moving the usa map to the sd card manually. I've also been down from 481 to 221 and back to 481 by manually copying all the files. I'd ask tomtom what to do but their questions section is still knackered.

It's not you. It's everybody not getting mapshares lately or downloading mapshares only to see the total not change.

Thanks. Being a new 920 I didn't have much on it so tried a factory reset. I got a mapshare update available, it downloaded then the home icon changed to red saying there were more updates available. There weren't. Beginning to think they've got some screwed up servers (question section on their site not working) or taking some offline to gear up for the x30's.

Mine seems the same, it uploads my corrections but tells me there are no new corrections despite the previous screen telling me there were 1800+ available? - I did get a new quick gps fix update this morning though.

I have only just joined the mapshare community last week and so far have not been able to download any, I thought it was me doing something wrong. I am using UK map version 6.75.

When navigating can you tell if a correction is from mapshare update at all? - The only changes I have done are a few naming of unnamed roads.

You can see if there is a Mapshare correction.... but only by repeatedly switching the corrections on and off, which you can do for each "trust level" of correction on the menus (Main menu p2/Map corrections/Correction preferences/ Use these corrections?).

The big problem with that of course is that you've no way of telling where the corrections are! (...except your own), but by this method you can tell if one of your own corrections has been accepted by TomTom and sent "back" to you.

I meant to mention... no updates here either for the last few days.
In Home, Tools/Mapshare/Preferences, the 'select country' list comes up empty ("No items available").

Nope, no updates on my 920 yet. Counter still sat at 42,372 mapshare corrections as it was a week ago. That's with all the options ticked including corrections made by many and some. I've even tried un-ticking everything and back on again, makes no difference.

A good bit of detective work there, dhn!

I've obviously installed or set some sort of "paranoia" setting that deletes the contents of my temp folder (I'm innocent - honest! Laughing ) so I can't play with this myself until TT get their finger out. Still no downloads here.

I remember that March 16th POI download, what excitement! Wink
(especially for those TT customer service bods who repeatedly insisted that Mapshare had nothing to do with POI updates! Rolling Eyes )

Well, installed home onto a different PC. It's happily telling me my map (a 715 europe) is 29 weeks out of date and there's 18769 free mapshare map corrections waiting. And that's it, I'm still waiting because clicking update doesn't give me any mapshare updates Confused

Update: flicking in & out of tghe update option, one more mapshare available (18770) so at least it's checking what's available for download, just doing nothing about it Crying or Very sad
