TomTom has added essential features (backup, PLUS and gpsautofix weekly updates) which make it essential to use HOME, which in fact has little real functionality beyond being a shop for their PLUS services.Īs they've forced users to operate a defective application I would go so far as to recommend Mac users avoid the newer TomTom units until either TomTom sort this out, or Mark/Space does us all a favour and comes up with a decent alternative.Offline Maps, Online Experience.
This sort of failure is so elemental I would not even give the software one star. Of course this may only be a ONE (new version) issue?įinally when I use the HOME software to disconnect the unit Finder complains (improper disconnection) and when I use the Finder then HOME locks up my system. What a pity that they agree on nothing and so little of what is available in User Guide/Support Pages is implemented by v1.5.106. I read the User Guide and the Support web-site. I connected the unit directly to a USB port on the 'Mini. I recently purchased a TomTomONE unit and dowloaded HOME v1.5.106 to my OSX.4.10 MacMini.
I have run a backup and hope not to have to fire up VMWare to update my TomTom in the future (but keeping my Windows backup, just in case)
That said, all up, a good upgrade for me.
I got error messages before getting it to work and I have the impression that clicking on things sometimes does not react properly. I should say that using this function in the Mac version seems possibly a little buggier than the Windows version. Perhaps he has a different TomTom machine to me. The last functionality does not apparently work for another poster here. On my quick revire, the Mac version now does all that the Windows one including (a) working with the latest maps, (2) working for Mapshare and (3) ability to operate my TomTom Go 720 from the computer. I have been using the Windows version until now under VMware, which worked well enough. While others have encountered problems, I have to report that the Mac version appears now to be quasi on par with the Windows version at least for a TomTom Go 720. I was therefore pleased to see this appear. I have recently complained about the lack of a V2 software for the Mac to use with my TomTom Go 720. I'm still happy with the TomTom ONE as a standalone device, but their support for OSX users is inexcusable. (To date, I've never gotten any mapshare correction updates!) It directs me to the update page, which after a minute says that everything is up to date. Also on the main home page, it tells me that my MapShare updates are out of date (which they are), however it won't let me update the MapShare corrections. Some of the new Home program works, but more often than not, the updater fails.
(If they can't figure out how to make the computer-gps control work out, they should make it possible to password protect the gps from within.) Still no computer control of my TomTom ONE LE, just an error that says "this feature is not supported by your device or operating system." This means that it is not possible for me to password protect the gps. This Version, 2.2.0.16, works somewhat, however some things don't work at all. Well, it's better than the old version, which was well outdated even last year.
