    Google some forums and there are plenty of guides advising you how to do it...

    This is just TomTom Home. Unless the OP is still within his warranty period, then OP will need to pay for map.

    Make sure the TomTom is on and that hard wired to teh PC with the USB cable. Then run TomTom Home and it should pick it up.

    Is it in a cradle which is connected by USB to the computer?

    If so, and you switch it on, does it ask if you want to connect to the computer?

    If so, does it say no device connected in the bottom right of tomtom home

    If yes, does that change after a minute then start looking for updates, say mapshare, then does it say to log in?

    My Tom Tom One which didn't come with a SD card I added one as the original size was too small for POI's still had the original data on the Tom Tom and I could copy it across. The Tom Tom when added to a PC comes up as a extra drive, you don't need to add Tom Tom Home.

    TomTom Home is purely for map updates...
