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.
