Have you connected it to your home wifi or installed MyDrive Connect software?

I realise that you don't want to be inconvenienced or pay for anything but Europe is always going to be a large map to download...

will this tutorial work only to update the speed cameras / safety cameras.
as this Tomtom has got serial number AY so its lifetime map updates.
My Questions.
1) i have to patch my tomtom with lifetime updates to use the above tutorial and then updates the speed cameras / safety cameras.
2) Once updated on my tomtom i will have to reboot via the TT activator for the speed cameras / safety cameras to work.
3) Are all Tomtom model number 4EN42Z1230 starting with serial number come with lifetime map updates vial the Tomtom my drive connect.

Thanks

I have got a 32 gb micro sd card, my plan is to install all the maps available v 11.70 on my drive connect onto my micro sd card.
on my drive connect it says active for all the maps and they are available.
i will keep this on stock.

i have got another one which also has the same serial number AY prefix, i had to patch it to experiment, this does not show any lifetime map updates when i connect to my drive connect.
i have tried to install the speed cameras bu TT activator but the speed cameras dont show up.
how do i get my cameras to work on the other tomtom go
Thanks
