Chris,

I have the latest software, but can't seem to find my way back into the map loading process on my Mac G5. I load the Tom Tom Application & User manual CD and don't find anything there that helps me find the right Map CD (for Indiana or anything else).

I go into the Tom Tom app and try and open the TomTom software setup, agree to everything and synch my Treo 650, etc. . . but none of this seems to give me any clues as to how/where I go to open "something" up and start the map downloading process.

In other words--the Treo works fine, Tom Tom works fine with the maps I have already installed, I just can't seem to find my way into the the program or process that starts the map-load process.

Embarrassing to say the least since I have done it multiple times just by jumping in and "doing it".

Thanks for any specific guidance on how to get this process going again.

Insert the first Map CD. You'll have an option to Add Maps:


Choose the geographic area you'd like to install. From your post, I'd say Mid-west.


Just be sure you have enough free space on your SD card. Installation of maps does take a while - and the progress bar just never seems to move. I'd install and leave it.

Hope this helps.
Chris

Rating or Review Thanks!

Chris,

I downloaded directly to the SD card--which wasn't the process I used before, but it was actually much faster than downloading to my Mac and then Synching. The trick was to have the CD in when trying to launch the setup application. . . then everything fell into place.

I would like to thank you for this and all the other help you have given to all of us trying to get the most out of our toys and technology.

There's no doubt in my mind that you have saved many of us from murder (or suicide) as we try and figure out how to make things work as advertised.

Good on you Lad!

No problem. Glad I could help out. TomTom can be a real pain to set up, but obviously a great program afterwards.

Thanks for the kind words - I appreciate it.

-Chris
