Tom Tom navagation files out of place

It is likely that the SD card (data) is corrupted. I'm assuming that it had previously worked properly.
Have you tried running a (fix) disk utility against your (internal disk or SD card) storage for the GPS ?
For instance, connect the GPS to your PC (Windows), and select (highlight) the (internal) "disk" on the GPS device. Under File - Properties, go to the Tools (tab) and run the "Error-Checking" option.
This utility may fix your data error.
If not, consider doing a restore (from backup) of your GPS disk storage.

The card may have become corrupted or has failed. You can try to recover it so you can copy off the files but that isn't always succsessfull. Go to my computer. Find the card right click then click on properties and then the tools tab and then click on error checking.

time to get a new sd card even if you can restore and read the original. Once they act up they can die again and permanently at any time.

Remove the SD card

The card needs to be formatted properly first that's all,

formatting is better done in a card reader.

Right click on it and select format select FAT32 as the files system

Update your device without the SD card.

Make sure your GPS runs OK without the SD card

Now re-connect the tomtom but don't let tomtom home run. exit TTH if need be.

You now ned to select your tom tom which will also show as a drive.

In windows explorer select tools then folder options.

Click view and tick the box for "show hidden files and folders"
It may warn you but you can ignore it.

then just copy ALL the files from the tom tom to your sd card

DO NOT USE CUT AND PASTE !

Once all the files are on switch off the tom tom and insert the sd card and re-boot
It should now work again

This works for most tomtoms so there is nothing to loose and everything to gain

This problem is due to the memory card not containing the TomTom application or map. To update the application onto the memory card, Connect the device to your computer. Open the TomTom Home application. Click on 'Update My Device'. This should then install the application onto the SD card. Alternativly, you could perform all the steps above without the SD card in the device, this will install the application onto the internal memory. Note: you may also need to install your maps, voices, etc after you updat.

Move old map from device to computer, then update with new map...

It is a totally different kind of product. It's like trying to view documents on an sd card through your camera. You'll have to clear the card and reload it with information from the manufacturers website.

Hi, If you have a backup of the files ( either on your SD card or on some models like the 910 , the internal hard drive ) you can try formatting the media then copying the backup files over onto it. It's likely that files / data is corrupted on the SD card / hard drive and that is why your tomtom freezes. Anyone reading this , Backup your TomTom SD card or its hardrive to your PC , do it now as it can save a lot of pain later. if you don't have a backup already , try and make one now . it's also possible your SD card has become faulty but if you can get the files off it onto your PC then you have a chance of copying them over to a good card in order to cure your problem . If it's not a fault with the SD card then at least you have a copy of the files , meaning you can't make things any worse than they already are. Good luck.

The One XL can only read from internal OR sd card...
So, if you want the device to boot from the sd card, it need system files installed on the sd card...

So, try this:
- BACKUP !!
- Copy ALL content from internal memory to sd card.
- Insert sd card, and boot the device.

It should know boot from sd card, not internal memory...
