The 13 pages refer to the older TomTom app, not the current one. I am fairly confident I can get the older TomTom Navigation 1.4 working. I don't want that and this thread isn't referring to that. I am having an issue with TomTom Go or TomTom GPS Navigation and Traffic as it is now called.
Installing the Play Store version does not normally require any trickery - it should just install and let me download a map. It then should allow 50 miles of free use per month. I have installed TomTom Go many (many..) times; both the Play Store version and the 'other' one and I have never had any real issues getting it to work. For the last few days it just doesn't work anymore because the connection to the TomTom servers isn't working.
