Receiving the latest map updates When you connect your TomTom Start to your computer, TomTom HOME automatically downloads any available map corrections and sends any changes you have made, to the Map Share community. There are several types of corrections which can be set in the Correction preferences menu. http://download.tomtom.com/open/manuals/start/refman/TomTom-Start-ReferenceGuide-en-GB.pdf

When you connect the TomTom to a modern computer with the USB cable the TomTom will install some software, called TomTom Home and perhaps even a driver. In TomTom Home you can start the registration process, That easy.

Try a soft reset first - hold the on button down for 20-25 seconds to do this. Most of the time this will fix starting issues.

If the tomtom still won't start you need to connect to your computer via usb cable and start tomtom home (downloadable from the tomtom website) - an auto update should fix it if the tomtom is recognised.

If tomtom home cannot recognise it (shows no device connected) contact tomtom customer support who will send you a software reset - then eventually you wil be back up and running!

hi. i suggest to try a soft reset first. go tomtom.com select support search for reset select softreset select your device do as told when this is not enough search in tomtom for start up and read wht to do.

This is not a solution, it is a new problem
my tomtom was working fine until I connected it to my computer using the latest TomTom Home. It now flashes a white cross and TomTom Home says "No device connected". My TomTom is useless now and does not work anymore.

you can get the TomTom Clear Flash tool Here


just follow the instructions on the download page. tomtom home must be closed when running the flash tool. i have my tomtom home set to boot up when ever i plug in a tomtom device, well tomtom home started while i was trying to flash my tomtom and i didnt notice it started. needless to say, it screwed the whole shooting match up.

repair both ...start fresh from start.....do a hard restart on the TomTom...this is located on the last menu of your tomtom...Factory reset...it will erase recent destinations and favorites....but it usually clears the tomtom....Now try to repair both the phone and the tomtom

Hello,  I own a TomTom also. I have listed the procedures from TomTom Home and hope this will work. First try a soft reset (Reset button is located at the bottom of the TomTom device next to where the DC plug plugs in). Make sure your batteries are fully charged up or the USB cord is plugged in.

If your device is not starting up properly, follow the steps below: 

1. Soft reset your device. *
   
   
2. If your device still does not start up, then reinstall the TomTom application using HOME. 
   

If you have backed up your TomTom to your computer, then you can reinstall the TomTom application from your backed up data. *    In rare cases, your TomTom device may not start correctly or may stop responding. If this happens, try resetting your device. A reset does not delete any data.

Connect your TomTom to the USB cable then turn on your TomTom in that order. Go to "My Computer" and open the drive that is your TomTom. Copy and paste your map folder to the desktop. Delete everything on your TomTom (don't format). After deleting everything on your TomTom. Open TomTom Home. TomTom Home will tell you, you need an application for your TomTom. Let TomTom Home load the application. You will probably have to do this at least 2 times to get the latest application for your device. After TomTom Home has loaded the latest application for your device closer TomTom Home and copy and paste your map back onto your TomTom. You should be ready to go after doing this. Make sure you do not skip a step when doing this.

my tom tom 510 would start, i have charge the tomtom with green light on, but tomtom is not coming up
