To help us get to work on a problem quickly, we need to know the exact TomTom model we're dealing with, that's why we ask you to put the details in your forum profile.
But is a "550" a US XXL550 or is it a UK GO550? Is a "One" an original "ONE" or one of the other 10 or more models all with "One" in the name?
So it can be difficult to work out what model you own, especially if you don't still have the box it came in!
Finally, TomTom themselves came up with a way to help.
Every TomTom has a serial number. Usually it's on a label on the bottom along with a barcode, although a few have it hidden rather sneakily. If yours isn't obvious, have a look at this picture for some clues:
Once you have that serial number, you can put it into an on-line tool on the TomTom website, and that will tell you the full "official" name of your model.
Which TomTom device do I have? - US site
or
Which TomTom device do I have? - UK site
The results from that are what you need to tell us (preferably by putting it in your profile). You can click on "User CP" at the top of the page to modify your profile.
