The TomTom ONE third edition offers traffic updates, Bluetooth hands-free calling and MapShare, a feature that allows users to edit details of their maps. Hi I have a tomtom one 3rd edition and it has uk and Ireland maps on it which are about 117mb. I am looking to buy new uk map for the device the device.

I've got a UK version of the TT One 3rd Edn (512MB, w/o SD card slot), which has worked fine until yesterday. Then upon switching it on as normal, it asked to set up a few preferences, such as language, LHD/RHD, miles/km, time, voice, day and night display settings etc. (Given it should have known my preferences from before, this was a bit confusing, but I went ahead and I expected the One to work OK, as it has done for a while. After this, the One boots and gets stuck on the 'startup screen' and won't go further.

The power switch on the top will then not allow me to switch off the unit. I've tried many things with no effect: 1) I can power off the unit, using the reset switch at the bottom - a long depression of the reset button doesn't help.

Nor does a long depression of the top mounted on/off switch - I get the TomTom screen with the drum sound, but then the startup screen shows and that's it. 2) I CAN acess the One via TomTom Home: I've done a backup and restore - then rebooted - didn't help I've deleted the MapSettings.cfg file - rebooted - didn't help I've deleted all files (using Windows Explorer) except the map folder and the program folder - rebooted, then used TomTom Home to restore - didn't help I've run the Windows CHKDSK program - it found no errors. 3) I CAN use the GPS, via TomTom Home - I can see that it's charged, how many satellites are available and even plan a route.

The only thing I've not done yet is a full format of the GPS - would that help? Any other suggestions would be helpful. (I am pretty literate in PC's and techie stuff ) regards Tim (Edited to correct typo's and added info on specific unit). Hi Zsolt, Thanks for the tip. I've tried exactly as you've suggested - what happens now, is that the 'black TomTom + 2 red hands' screen appears (inc drum sound), shortly followed by the pic of a monitor and the sliding scale at the bottom (both of which happened before) and then it reverts to a black screen with the aforementioned TomTom + 2 red hands logo (but without any further sounds). And it stays like that - and goes no further So, it's not booting and appears 'stuck'.

Likewise, the top mounted power on/off switch still doesn't power the unit off. I have to use the bottom 'reset' button to power it off Any reason why THAT specific CAB file should be used? I've seen reference to a different CAB file, namely: 9.025.one2009_plus.CAB-navcore-ONE.cab, the name of which implies that it is for a ONE GPS unit. Regards, Tim UPDATE: I had a brainwave and re-connected the One to my PC and ran TomTom Home - this went straight to 'update' mode and it then downloaded the TT app, voices and a UK/Ireland map to my hard drive.I guess I then have to copy these files over to the One, using the TomTom Home app. I'll keep you posted if these were the next 'tasks' to do, once I extracted the CAB files to the One - and of course if this fixes it. UPDATE #2 So, after TomTom Home updated the app, voices and map, and I was given a chance to restart the One (which didn't happen automatically, so I had to use the reset button AGAIN), so I rebooted, with the One connected by USB to the PC. I then re-ran TomTom Home which then gave me an option to update the app - which wasn't needed as it was up to date.

Now, I'm in a WORSE position - the 'Back up and restore' function and the 'Operate my One' functions are BOTH grayed out - the latter of which gives an error message which says: 'You cannot use this feature as it is not supported by your device'. And I still can't power off the device, by the top on/off switch. BTW: Comp[aring the original folder names and this new 'version' shows a significant difference in many of the folder names and by implication I suggest that some of the original files are not present with this 'new' version. So, 2 steps forward and 3 steps back Any further suggestions please?? Hi Zsolt Thanks for the links - the version of software on the One was indeed 8.010, so maybe the download you have now suggested will do the trick.

I'll update this reply later, once I've gone through the whole procedure again. UPDATE: Having extracted the files, then rebooted and connected to TT Home, TT Home has then 'updated' the app exe to version 7.166. And comparing the files size of the ttsystem file (5,649k) to the original file (6,177k) shows that there is still something of an issue. On a good side, at least the file folder names now look similar comparing riginal backups and those now on the One. Of course, in an ideal world, I could just use the backup, but whatever has happened to the One has obviously lead to a file corruption and I've got no idea of know which file(s) may be damaged. FOR SITE ADMINS: It would be useful if TomTom could actually make available the directory structure and file sizes, so we could establish which files might be damaged or missing.this would save a lot of work. UPDATE: So, I've added voices and POI's and it STILL doesn't boot past the 'splash' screen.
