Download and Install,when completed click DONE. Reopen TomTom HOME and the APPLICATION will come up as an update. Go into the START menu and go into DOCUMENTS or MY DOCUMENTS and DELETE the TomTom Folder. Now that you removed the application your going to need to close TomTom HOME by right clicking and exiting the TomTom HOME icon down by the clock on your computer screen (make sure those two little red hands in a circle are gone from that task bar). Confirm the removal but if theres a button that says "DONT COPY" please click that. Once selected,go down to the bottom and click the button that says "Remove Items From Device". The very first item will be the TomTom application and on the left hand side the is a green plus(+) sign.Click it,and on the right hand side of this will be a box that you have to select. These are the items stored on your TomTom. A list of things will load up on the screen. To do this is simple,go to the main menu page 2 (click the blue triangle that says more) and go inside the purple folder that says manage my XL. Now,if when TomTom HOME checks for updates and tells you no items available right after you connect the TomTom then the TomTom APPLICATION must be removed from the device and reinstalled. You would need to repeat the application updating and installing until no more TomTom applications are available for the update.
See the application must be the latest installed in order for the GPS to work. If there is a TomTom application available,update it only. Let the program automatically check you XL for updates. Connect your GPS back up to the computer and run TomTom HOME. Its the APPLICATION thats either missing,corrupted,or not up to date on the device.
