The A201 is not supported by Tomtom.

However, some users have managed to get it working. There is a strong community of Mio A201 owners who may be able to help you on the forum at www.pocketgps.co.uk

This should get it going. Follow instructions exactly.

>"Device" for install.

>Goto "Start">"Programs" and select "File Explorer"
>
>Select "My Device" from the drop down list and locate the "Program
>Files" folder. Within this folder you will need to locate and open

>Inside this folder should be 3-4 files, you will notice a file called

>"Navigator.cfg"; Delete this file.
>
>
>Now go back to open TomTom from the short cut on the main page.
>
>You should find this now works.
