TomTom’s route planner takes an unplanned detour into oblivion

TomTom users found themselves thoroughly lost this week after the navigation giant’s cloud sync apparently forgot where anyone wanted to go. TomTom’s forums quickly filled with drivers reporting blank “My Places” lists, vanished recent destinations, and routes refusing to sync between apps, web planners, and satnav units. A few said that they actually watched saved locations disappear from the map in real time.
