Best to reset to factory settings and then reconfigure the unit as per instructions in the attached manual. All the maps and data will be lost and you will have to re-install. So make sure you have access to the map files which can be reloaded after the settings are complete.

Reset button is shown in diagram on page 2. Good luck. http://download.tomtom.com/open/manuals/one3rd/refman/TomTom-ONEv3-en-GB.pdf

get to the navigation screen and tap the screen, there should be a spanner icon, which is the change preferences icon, tap this, click on the arrow three times until you come to a screen with flags on it, you should be able to select english Uk from the screen

SOURCE: TOM TOM GPS Updates

That depends on where you got it and if the documentation for the updates was in the box.

Usually the answer is yes.
Those from Tiger Direct do.

I have used it before now with few problems.

Couple of times I have had to talk to them but they have always been good and given me a code or new code to get the updates.

Do this whilst it is disconnect from a PC

Whilst it shows a map display touch the screen once.


Select the icon that looks like a spanner / wrench

Use the rght arrow on the display until you see a bunch of flags. (if you shoot past it just keep going until it comes ound again)

Touch that and select the correct the correct flag / language.

Wrong language.how do I change it. .

If your tom tom is in a wrong language, to set it back or change it to the normal language, all you need to do is to reset it. To reset it, hold down the power on/off button for about 15 seconds, it will restart the tom tom, that way the language will be restored back to its normal language.
If you are not requesting to change the language back to its normal language, then to change the language to any other foreign language, what you have to do is to go to the gps settings, then you select from the options where you find language, then you select your choice language, that way your language will be changed.

That should do the job for you.
