Question

Tom Tom GPS.
I have a Tom Tom of about 3 years old - so probably considered quite elderly.
It works perfectly well in the car but, for no obvious reason, suddenly I can no longer use it via my computer for planning and the original CD-Rom has gone walkabout.
Any suggestions as to where I might find a replacement CD or otherwise restore the situation?
It is of very limited use to me as almost all my journeys are routine on routes that I have travelled hundreds of times before so I do not particularly want to replace it. On the other hand I would like to have it working properly

Can you be a little more specific about what the problem is?
Your PC doesn't recognise the GPS? The PC software doesn't work at all?
In the first case try resetting the Tom Tom (from the reset pin hole at the bottom), in the second do a system restore to your PC to a time when the program worked. Alternatively, if you have registered at the Tom Tom website maybe you can download/update your soft from there.
