RE: Tom Tom update slow

It will be interesting to see if there are any relevant suggestions as it does not all boil down to internet speed.

I have a fairly fast connection but when updating the Tom Tom I invariably have to leave it do it's thing overnight.

Must be a problem at Tom Tom's end.

In my experience it's not just TomTom, took me all night to get my Garmin updated (somewhere between 2.7 and 2.8Gb).

Updated my Tomtom via 130 yesterday and the day before. A 2.7 Gb download each time and both occasions took 3-4 hours.

Standard stuff then? 2.9gb taking 6hrs. Hopefully these full updates are infrequent. Would prefer to remove europe updates but few options. The new software seems much less useful than the old Tomtom Home too. Thanks for your confirmations.

Cheers

Robin , I've just done the update , 1hour 10min for download & install . (10meg cable Internet)

How do you perform update via their e-mail link? , I always just go to Tomtom on browser and login and update from there.

Hi,

I use TT Home software and it took no longer than 20 minutes for the new map to download and install.

Can't remember the map size tho but it was a full map update.

TomTom 530GO + BT Infinity.

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.
