My old TomTom device refuses to connect to the computer now. I replaced

Toss it. I stopped using mine years ago. Google Maps on my phone does a
better job, easier to set and modify route and route has up to date road
conditions and no subscriptions....


I have a new one, so no, I'm not going to toss it :-)

The new one does not need a map subscription, either. It has certain
advantages to a phone held somehow on the dashboard.
