I am running Home1.6 with Windows XP and I can't connect to upgrade or do anything. I get the following message:
home.tomtom.com:443 uses an invalid security certificate.
This is not the first time I have connected the device to my computer. I have created a TomTom account and have downloaded the most recent version 1.6 from tomtom.com
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi rayncate.
64 bit vista is supported.
please let me know the exact error message you are getting.
There are a number of things that could be the issue.
SOURCE: TomTom Home
I had a similar problem when trying to update my dad’s old
TomTom Go300. I bought a new map and downloaded TomTom Home 2 (as
instructed on the website) but found that the Go300 was recognised by the computer it wasn't recognised by TomTom's own Home 2 software.
To cut a long story short I uninstalled Home 2 and downloaded Home 1 (from http://www.tomtom.com/plus/service.php?ID=17 Home 1 is the one on the right, listed as being the version of Home you use for Navigator 6).
Then when I switched the Go300 on it was recognised by Home1 - although the new map I had bought wasn't listed as being available for download.
However, I updated the Go300 with the available listed free updates, then switched it off.
Downloaded Home 2 again and switched the Go300 on - this time it was recognised by the computer and the new map I had bought was available to download.
So far so good - the only problem was the the postcode search facility was not the same as it had been - I could now only search the first 4 digits of the postcode. There is a fix for this on the tomtom website:
http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=1&query=postcode&FID=9852
which I followed and which worked.
Hope this may be of some use to someone! It took me hours to figure it all out. But it's up and running now.

I read and read and re-read the TomTom website looking for any info
that would help but came up with nothing. A few hours later and the air
thick with torrents of language I didn’t think I was capable of I
discovered that I needed to download Home1 first and let the Go300
connect to the computer via Home1 before it would be recognisable by
Home2. Okay…
On the website, though, Home1 is listed as being the version you use
if you have TomTom Navigator 6. It’s not even called ‘Home 1′.
Confusing eh? Anyway, I downloaded that and from there found that I
could get my new map onto my Go300. Once the map and other updates were
installed and I had switched the thing off I then found that Home2
recognised it at last.
That had to be one of the most ridiculously long-winded things I’ve
had to do on a computer, mainly because TomTom’s confusing advice on
their website made the whole process so damn difficult. Perhaps they
hoped I’d give up and buy a new one? Tsk.

I am the original poster, rdsrds2, and after 4 go arounds with TomTom tech support I finally got someone who knew exactly what to do. My problem is solved. Some of the other solutions posted here may be equally valid. To all who are having installation problems, here is the download you want:

Go to My Computer, then the TomTom drive and click explore. Move your Map folder to the desktop. Then, delete everything on the tomtom drive. Unplug it, plug it back in, and start up Tomtom HOME and install all updates, keep unplugging, plugging back in, and installing updates until there aren't any more updates. Then move your map folder back to where it was on your TomTom drive.
Please rate, Thank you!

I have managed to solve the problem of loading a new map on my Go700 using a Mac. I discovered that Tomtom is incompatible with the Leopad operaying system, despite the protestations of the idiots at Tomtom ,so I reverted to an older Mac using Tiger.
Taking the instructions given to crinold, I tried to erase the disc on the 700 using home 1.5 - and it didn't work. So I went to disc utilities, highlighted and erased the Tomtom disc, and opened home 2,5. After being refused entry several times, like being told to load an already loaded device, I persevered, and managed, slowly, to add the map I had bought for 78 euros. T]One point oif interes is that when I bought the map, they site stated it would cost 63 pounds sterling, but switched it to euros when the invoice arrived. at a rate very favourable to Tomtom - funny, that.
This is sharp practice,probably illegal in many countries,, but, to be honest, dealing with the mysterious Tomtom company is so frustrating, that I don't have the time or inclination to fight them for the money they cheated from me.
How they survive with such an awful product and extremely bad after sales service is hard to understand - perhaps they won't ... we live in hope.
