20 Most Recent Tomtom Go 730 GPS Questions & Answers

The TomTom LIVE (service) allows your device to access (& use) real time traffic information, weather info, fixed and mobile speed cameras, etc. to determine and offer you options to use an alternate (better/faster) route ... e.g. avoid traffic jams, etc.

If your TomTom GPS model number (when you originally purchased it new) is shown with an "M" ... e.g. GO 730M ... it indicates that the TomTom GPS unit you'd purchased includes free lifetime maps (updates) just for the map included in that unit, e.g. USA and Canada. If it shown with a T, e.g. GO 730TM ... it indicates that it also includes traffic data. When you register the unit (on the TomTom website), and you log in to the TomTom website (using the TomTom HOME or MyDrive Connect), it will (automatically) tell you if/when you have an updated version of the map to download, to replace the current one on your device.

Enable Bluetooth on the Navigation device, and on the phone. Make your phone discoverable. You might have to enter a code such as 0000

Have you tried RE-SETTING the unit ??? You can usually reset the unit just by switching it OFF and then ON again. If this fails you can either refer to your TT Instruction Manual OR go to the TT Website for assistance. The problem MAY possibly also be in your USB transfer cable; so try another cable. Even without the original CD you can still log-on to TT Website to download any updates and re-register your GPS. I assume that you have the correct TT Software on your computer??? There is TOMTOM HOME; MY TOMTOM; and the latest one MY DRIVE. Which one will depend on your GPS Model; but the TT Website will tell you which one you should be using ... ok

Do the hard reset, than reconnect the phone to tomtom 730

Check tomtom support FAQ as i think there is something about what you are asking in those pages

yes i fixed the problem or my daughter did. I didn't have the phone in allow mode for the bluetooth connection. not very good with technology. thanks for offering to help me fix this problem.

try the reset
Note: A master reset will erase all waypoints or favorites and will restore your unit to the default factory settings.

with the unit off,and unplugged, try pressing and holding your finger on the low right corner of the screen and slide the power switch to the on position until you see the message "confirm if you really want to delete all user data?" hit yes and let it restart. then it will set up the nuvi again, so follow the prompts.

if that fails, hook up the nuvi to the web updater and get the latest update

(actually i would do this either way)

you can get the web updater HERE

Since the phone worked before the visibility issue is unlikely to be the cause. Try plugging your TomTom into your computer. In the my tomtom software, select manage my TomTom. Now find and select the item about mobile phone settings and delete it. That should fix the problem when you next ask the TomTom to set up a connection with your phone.

The best way (if you have a tomtom) is to call support at 866-486-6866. Let them know what you want to do, and they will direct you to a web page, and ask for your username for tomtom home, and then tell you how to proceed. You just plug in you GPS into your computer afterwards, and your GPS will reload all of the maps and software that was on it before.

Go to tomtom website and download the software from them..Once downloaded you need to transfer it on the sd card.Once done,put your sd back into the tomtom and power on..There goes,it should install and work fine..Hope this helps.

Sounds like it is defective, try and contact tech support and have them send you a replacement.
