MADNIL Since the version 2.6.x I had trouble with TomTom Home: The program always crashed when I tried to update my 920. I found that this was caused by a preference entry: The backup directory was on a network drive (volume). As soon as I changed it to the local harddisk it worked again. Hope this helps other people with the same problem. (Version 2.6.3.313) | |

MADNIL Sorry, I mixed it up: I meant the "downloads" directory. TomTom Home looks into this directory, as soon as the update function is launched. (Version 2.6.3.313) | |

CINDERPATH This fixed my problem! Thanks for taking the time to post, this was frustrating as hell! Too bad TomTom could not clarify this. (Version 2.6.3.313) | |

I have been unable to use this software for about 6 months until I read your comment. My TOMTOM Files were on a different hard disk partition, and it would crash without fail everytime it read from the device. Following your advice, I set the TOMTOM Files back to the boot partition, and now it's working perfectly again. Thanks! (Version 2.6.4.356) | |

SPANEL The newest version of HOME for TomTom One is useless. It will render updates impossible and continually send you an error message when you try to use it with your GPS. TomTom technical support is equally useless, and clueless. They have no idea how to fix the problem and will only tell you to reinstall the application. I asked for an older version and they sent me a link to a Window .exe file. As I said, useless and clueless. So, like many others I'm stuck with a unit that has outdated maps with no solution. Well, there is one: Dump TomTom and get a Garmin. TomTom is hemorrhaging customers and it's easy to see why. (Version 2.6.2.264) | |

KARLTREK I was thinking about buying the new TomTom Rider for my motorcycle. But according to their website it looks like you can't make you own pre-planned routes with the Mac version of TomTom Home software. This is a Windows only feature. This is the number one feature I want for my GPS. I ended up buying the Garmin Zumo. There is excellent route creation software for the Mac with Garmin's "RoadTrip" software. (Version 2.5.2.58) | |

PROFWELLBACK TomTom: my trouble started with a usa map download, paid for, it would not work. TomTom support said it was the wrong type and I bought another version, with refund for the first. Then TomTomHome refused to recognise my device and despite lengthy help from support over more than 2 months, it will not "update" my account which still has my map waiting for me. The promised device /account update today just froze the screen after a lengthy download. The device software upgrade has lost my compass on screen although the main functions of the Go 720 still work OK. Apparently if I buy a second TomTom, I will have to use a different account with a different email address, (!). Is this just because I use Mac? (Version 2.4.0.68) | |

AJPUM65 I recently purchased a Rider 2. I was informed that it would work just fine with my MacBook Pro. The software CD that came with the unit installed on my book but didn't seem to work well. I un-installed this and downloaded the version from TomTom's website. That version is 2.3.1.40 and I see it's quite different! I don't see any options for programming a route on my lap top and transforming to the GPS. After reading several other reviews here, I see that it appears TomTom software isn't very Mac friendly? I am planning on contacting TomTom tomorrow morning to learn more about my options and limitations. I want to ensure I'm not doing something wrong. Glad to read your experiences. Does anyone have a Rider 2 for two wheels?? | |

APPLEHC Works with my TomTom GO 930 Traffic without problems. Could someone explain to me if there are any big features missing compared to the XP version? I would rather like to stay on my Intel OSX instead of changing to Intel WXP for every TomTom Update. (Version 2.3.0.32) | |

CLUNKCLUNK It's ugly, it's not nearly as feature rich as the Windows version, but at least it's much more functional than previous versions. I can do a successful backup, install and delete files from my ONE. It's still clunky, the interface feels like it was done by a junior college dropout, but at least it works somewhat.

MEKKON Yay! new version, 2.2.1.26! Boo Hiss - it doesn't work any better. Still no support for operating my Tomtom One LE via Tomtom Home. Now, rather than explaining that it doesn't work, it just gives the spinning beachball of death, requiring a force quit. Still no mapshare updates either... And did anyone else notice that the program is so poorly designed that "HELP" appears TWICE in the menu-bar? Top notch developing this is! (Version 2.2.1.26) | |

PERPLEXITY The best GPS finally has working stable Mac software. Don't like the app's interface (must be made by a pc nerd), but everything is there. Unlike the GPS itself, which has a superb interface. Shapeshifter users, be warned, you need to exclude the TomTom HOME app or it will not launch. (Version 2.2.0.16) | |
