Just updated My Drive Connect and immediately spotted a new feature. This new version automatically recognizes your device, and makes the user manual available to view on screen. Nice one, Tomtom. |

Hopefully they've fixed the Mapshare update problem that some of us are experiencing as well _________________ Mike

Does your new version run in background as the earlier versions did or does it load fully?
I tried selecting "Start My Drive Connect" option in the settings which always ran the application in background with an icon on the icon bar, assuming its a PC. But since the last but one upgrade mine always loads fully in Windows 10 so I have deselected the option.
Mikko form TT stated that they were aware of the issue and would be addressing it shortly. However on my windows 10 pc it still loads fully if I select the option.

When I turn on my laptop, My Drive Connect automatically opens and runs in the background, with the icon showing on the toolbar. I used to get a popup telling me what updates were available but that's not there now since this last map upgrade. |

Just tried to install the updates GPS Fix and Mapshare. GPS fix ok, but mapshare not installing, or indeed downloading. As soon as my device says "Updates successfully installed" I checked My Drive Connect for updates and it's still showing 28kb of mapshare available, so it looks as though something else is broken with this new version. |

Recently I've had the problem of the Mapshere updates installation sticking at 1 minute and 47 seconds as a lot of other people did. The only way to get the updates to install was factory reset the device, but this happened twice and I didn't bother again. I tried earlier after updating MyDrive Connect and the Mapshare updates downloaded and installed in about a minute, so maybe I'm now clear of problems .....until the next time
Edit: I should add I use a MacBook _________________ Mike

Do you mind telling me what version of Windows you are on and have you changed any pc settings to limit My Drive Connect so that it only runs in background?

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, and set My Drive to open on start-up. I think when I did this, I was probably prompted to reduce My Drive to the task bar. Hope this helps. |

Thanks for the info. when I was using Windows 7 my system worked the same way but I took the plunge to upgrade to Windows 10 and it appears that it won't just sit there in background anymore. Also in My Drive Settings I can no longer see an option to reduce My Drive on the task bar. I feel a call to TT coming on. Maybe Mikko will help?
