Working with install locations |
About install locations When updates or new items are downloaded by HOME, they need to be installed on your device. Depending on what model of TomTom navigation device you have, your device may have one or more places, called install locations, where you can install these items. Some devices, such as the TomTom ONE, have just one install location. This is referred to simply as Device when you see the location of items in lists in HOME. Other devices, such as the TomTom GO 940, have more than one install location. These devices have both internal memory and a memory card slot. These are referred to as Internal memory and Memory card respectively in HOME. If your device has an empty memory card slot, you can use a memory card to install or store additional maps or information such as music and photos. Note: New memory cards have to be initialised before you can use them with your device. See Initialising memory cards. Tip: A memory card in a card reader connected to your computer is always shown as a Device. Choosing the active install location You don't need to worry about how many install locations you have. HOME knows automatically what model of device(s) you have connected to your computer. Each time you connect a device with multiple install locations, you are asked to choose an active install location. New items are installed in the location you choose until you decide to change it. To change the active install location for the device you are working with, click Change device in the Device menu. Note: Updates always replace the existing items in the location where they are installed. Using more than one TomTom navigation device You can connect more than one TomTom navigation device to your computer and to HOME. If you connect several navigation devices or a device and a memory card in a card reader to your computer, HOME asks you to select which device you want to work with. To change the device you are using, click Change device... on the Device menu. Tip: If you have only a memory card connected, it will automatically be selected as your active device. |
