tomtom is very stupid. i bought another one and it won't let me register on my computer which has the privious tomtom. very frustrated! will return both tomtom! those stupid idiots!
from the manual, albeit in small type
Um... as you'll find in about 1000 posts here over the years, it's necessary to use a different email address for each TomTom to keep the accounts separate .. or to call tech support to have them swap the email over to the new unit. Stupid is only when the information available is out there, but isn't requested.
excuse me. didn't know about the email syndrome? where did that come from? refresh my memory because I do tend to forget things. However, with your vigilance as my guide, I'm sure that any future errors I commit, and there will be some, will be immediately corrected by yourself and others of an equal mind. it'll be great.So I can understand the posters frustration, and I also see the fan boys who are quick to slant new users @thymara and @Hamish33 you both were new to Tomtom once and you BOTH did not know about the email syndrom before hand.

It also just so happens that this issue is not unique to TomTom. In Canada I subscribe to XM satellite radio and have 2 accounts because I have 2 cars. XM can't even figure out how to change a contract on any day other than the day you talk to them.
Clearly stating the solution once found is useful for those who might encounter the same situation in the future and actually search for said solution. On the other hand failure to search before going on a rant, I've done it before, tends to lead to embarrassment.
I was new to TomTom about 3 weeks ago, have actually read the manual several times and am still learning and have no problem admitting it.
You provided interesting info pertaining to ownership of multiple units. Good for you. Now just learn to keep your personal attacks out of it, thank you very much.
I also have to wonder why you made no comment about post #2 which, at least in my opinion, is a definite you're an idiot comment.
