Back to support, which reassured me all was fine. My lifetime map update code for the unit was suddenly showing as invalid.
But the pester messages from the device itself to update my maps continued, so I tried again when I had time in September. Eventually, I did get the TomTom 1535 connected, and it told me it was all up-to-date. I also needed to have a separate TomTom account for each one. As it turned out, the TomTom XL required use of TomTom Home software the TomTom 1535 used a web-based updated. I had trouble getting either unit seen by my Mac or PC laptops. But updating turned into a nightmare that I mentioned briefly in a previous column. Well, why not? Both units came with lifetime maps. All was well with both units until I decided in May that I should heed the reminders that both where giving me, to update my maps. It was joined by a second unit for our other car, a TomTom 1535 Top Gear edition at the end of 2011. The new unit worked fine and had some nice features my older unit didn't have. Buying a new unit was easier than trying to get the old - but perfectly functional - unit still going. Since it was out of warranty, I bought a new unit at the end of 2010, a TomTom XL 340TM. In the end, TomTom finally decided that maybe there was a fault with my 920.
