Start 60
This forum has been so helpful, to this aged driver, in the past that I'm hoping more help will be found. I'm afraid it needs some explanantion which I'll try to keep short.

I bought my first Start 60 many (10+?) years ago and soon decided that it was the one for me and I became familiar with its use. Perhaps I shouldn't mention this, but, I subscribe to a third party speed camera database and have always been able to upload their updated files using "Manage Community content".

The the unit recently developed the, seemingly well known, problem of randomly entering the main menu or even offering to steer me home. I tried the recommended thing of cleaning round the bezel but it still does it. I had looked a friend's modern Tomtom and found the interface so different that I felt it would be difficult to adapt (typical symptom of an over 80 year old!).

So I looked to buy a used Start 60 and stay on familiar territory. The snag is that the seller had updated to the latest version 25.100.0001.311 and I'm no longer in a familiar space. It seems I can't regress to an earlier application version so I'm just going to have to adapt. I'm reading the manual (v17.1) but I don't think that's the right version because it says the SD card slot is under the mount and on mine it's on the bottom edge, if there is a later version of the guide could I have a link please?

My immediate problem is that I want to upload the POI data and can't. There is no option the "manage community content" when I right click the symbol in the system tray (Windows) in MyDrive Connect.

Any help with this or indeed any other ideas to help in my transition from old to new would be very gratefully received. Thanks.

Regards,

David
 
Thanks, Willy, The manual you link to doesn't match the display on my device but I'll study it. MyDrive Connect shows "Connected" and offers an update (charging points) and if I connect to my old Start60 I do see the option to "Manage Community Content" does this clarify or confuse?
 
First letters are VE

Can no longer add POIs? Sounds like negative progress to me... have a you a simple link to show how via Map-Tomtom please? Sorry to be an old duffer,
 
I've just converted to Via 135 starting serial number BP.
i have been a member of a GPS db that issues new speed camera info every month.
The BP has free European map updates so suites me
