OK, I started everything up again and still does not show my virtual TT when I click "My GO 910".

HELP

 

I had not tried to backup and install anything on my TT 910 because I expected it to be a pain in the rear. It is. I did get it connected to the computer and I think that it backed up, but I am not sure.

At one point it went to a gray screen and would not shut off, I finally found the reset button, boy is it hiden well. I know that it is connected to the computer because I was able to download a photo the the TT. I still do not get thr virtual TT on my computer screen someone stated would happen. So I guess I can not do anything else until I can figure out how to do that.

I wanted to see if I could download some newer maps. Cna anyone help?

 

Im not certain but the virtual TomTom doesn't work for Mac users.

I believe it works with TomTom HOME 2.0

Yea, I can't wait!
Oh wait, it's for him, not me....

 

Good stuff for new TT owners like me. This site is great!

 

Connected it to the computer and backed it up even before I got to the startup screen. I did the backup using explorer, really finder on the Mac, so the backup is as virgin as you can get.

I should be getting my 720 mid week. I will follow the steps listed here. Thanks

 

Great FAQ. I used it and it works great and nice steps. Explained very well. It was a little rough though trying to get this thing to work as i wanted it to but when it came down to this FAQ it worked like new. Thanks.

 

Well my tomtom arrived from Amazon and it is actually a tomtom 1 classic.

With advice from here I soon had it backed up by explorer and then updated by home. My current problem is that I have a favourite route to the hospital avoiding motorways (USA highways). The destination is stored but when try to recall as a favourite, the route is recalculated using fastest route again.

Is there a way of storing the actual preferred route as a favourite?

I do not know whether your model has the itinerary option. If it does, that is the route you want to take (no pun intended).

A bit convoluted method if you do not is to make a favourite somewhere on the road you want to take. The next time, navigate to favourite and then, once there, navigate to (your destination).

Told you it was convoluted .......
