WON,T LET ME USE AUSI MAP

Assuming you already have specified where you wish to go, and the device shows the map (of your current location) on the screen,
you can touch the screen to see the MENU screen ... then look for (on the Menu screen) a browse map option, and you'll see the route (to your destination) displayed.
If you're looking for a list of turn by turn text instructions, e.g. turn right to XXXX street, go for NN miles, etc. you may not find it displayed on your TomTom device.

It will do that, diconnect your unit and try switching it on, have you downloaded tomtom home 2 to your computer? as you need this to manage your unit.

Some Tomtoms can use latitude and longitude coordinates. They refer, of course, to points on the map.
To use coordinates on some tomtoms you tap the Browse Map option. A general Map of the route is displayed. The screen has three buttons at the bottom

1. Options
2. Find
3. an icon for the point on the map.
   
4. Done

Tap the Options button: The Map detail Preferences appears, offering the choice to put a check mark in POI, Favorites, images. At the bottom of screen you have 3 buttons : POI, Advanced, Done.

Tap Advanced: In thsi screen you can put a checl mar on Names, Markers, and Coordinates.
Put a Check mark on Coordinates and press Done, Then Done again until you exit all those options.

Now your tomtom is configured to display coordinates. Be aware that GPS technology was created for military purposes and its civilian uses cannot be expected to offer pin point accuracy. It took an act of the US president to allow its use for civilian localization.

When you plan a route you can use longitude and latitude. Here is the icon you should like for.

I assume you mean the device ID code. Start your tt and go to the map screen, if it isn't already displayed. Tap the bottom right hand corner where the GPS signal meter is. On the next screen tap the version number. The next screen that comes up will have your device ID code, among other things.

I do some work with TomTom - it's possible that if something interrupted or went wrong during the install, the map could have been deleted. TomTom is aware of the problem and is working to fix it - if you are map-less, call support (866 486 6866) and we can work on getting you a new map.

Some versions of the TomTom ONE 3rd Edition have limited internal memory(no memory card slot).

connect your device to TomTom Home to check how much memory you have available and check the map is not too big for the internal memory

you may have run out of memory for the full map, your device can use a 2Gb max SDcard which should be enough for all your maps. It will have put placeholder there and tryed to drop the full map but you can only see the bit it could store to the memory.

It "might" be that your tomtom has lost its position due to you moving countries. the TomTom stores its last position so each time you switch it off then on again it can find the satellites it had before quickly. Because you have moved a long way ( on the aeroplane ) the TomTom now thinks you are still in America so it's looking for the satelittes over America rather than over the UK.
I would try this :

• Press the reset switch through the hole at base of tomtom ( 1 quick press is all you need , dont press too hard , you should feel the switch click as its a tactile switch )
• The TomTom has now had a hard reset
• Go outside in a location where you have a clear view to the south . ( preferably a clear view from east through south and to the west )
• Switch the tomtom ON
• Make sure the tomtom has a clear view of the sky and the top of the tomtom ( its antenna is in the top ) is unobstructed.
• Tap the screen just above right bottom ( where you see the signal bars )
• The next screen shows the battery state and some bars on right side
• Tap the bars
• You should now have a bigger screen with bigger bars
• The bars are each channel your tomtom can receive satelittes on
• Wait about 3 to 4 minutes and see if any of the bars are GREY
• Grey bars shows you are receiving satelittes ( but signal is week )
• Blue bars show good strong signals are being received
• It may take a few minutes to lock on ( fingers crossed )
• If it does have a lock ( at least 3 blue bars ) your tomtom will remember and store these satelittes so next time you switch on it will go straight to them quickly and lock on .
• Your problem will be sorted.

if you dont get any bars at all then it's likely your tomtom has become faulty in the receiver or antenna section and will need proffesional repair . Rare but It is also possibly a files / data fault on your SD card . In this case if you made a backup of the card , you will need to revert to that and reinstall the files to the SD card.

GOOD LUCK

Buy another brand, tomtom sucks! I am so disgusted with them. Brand new one, died in 3 months. sent me a refurb, died in 5 months.

I have not yet received an answer to my question.
