Thank you for making them available Andy...
Well it is good to see that it is working for some folks... but for those still having problems, perhaps this may be worth trying...
After giving the Nav 8.3 update a whirl a few days ago, I dumped it mainly due to my mobile phone continually connecting and disconnecting.. also it left me with very little free Ram, but I am luckily still on an earlier map, so am not actually dependent on this release...
However, I did like the new "pointy" POI symbols, and the reduced height of the menu bar at the bottom of the screen... so I decided to give the X40 Navcore 8.203 software, as discussed in this thread another try... however, still no computer voices... then remembered the X30 Loquendo TTS7 file containing "Kate" that AndyVaughan had made available... I deleted the X40 Loquendo TTS file from the Tom Tom, and copied the X30 one over... success... my phone stays connected, and I have the features that I wanted from the "ill fated" Nav. 8.3 software... and with this setup, I have 20Mb of free Ram with approx 60 POIs enabled and RDS-TMC connected
I wonder if this combination may work with the latest maps on the X20 devices as a stop gap, to allow owners still unable to use Navcore 8.3, to benefit from their new maps untill Tom Tom release the next Navcore version.

I have just tried the x40 software on my 520 and yes it does work with the new 8.15 map. IQ2 is there and works.
Initially I had problems getting the computer voices to work but version 7 supplied earlier in this thread fixed it. Voice control not working at the moment but I never use it anyway.
Haven't had a chance to see if Kate has got over her stuttering but the new X40 menus look nice! |

Use WINRAR to extract the cab file then copy the files across. |

Layman's terms please! - Do I copy these files into the LoquendoTTS folder on my 720? do I need to clear the LoquendoTTS folder first?

First potential confusion to sort out is the difference between files and folders.... |

For those of you who are using TT Traffic I would not recommend to try the x40 firmware(Edit: On an x20 or x30 that is). After installing it on my 720 Traffic wouldn't work - when trying to connect I got an error message saying that there was an error on the TomTom server. After going back to the 8.300 firmware Traffic worked again so there must be a difference in how the software versions talk to the server. Maybe the combination of a 720 and the x40 firmware makes the TomTom server angry?
It's too bad, because I too liked the icons in the x40 firmware. _________________ TomTom GO720T: App ver 8.351(9982/090518), OS:315187, GPS v1.20, Boot 5.5120

Oh Andy sorry if I sound frustrated well I am frustrated!!! near to breakdown in fact...Not with anyone on here with b****y TomTom. I get more help on this forum than Tomtom's customers support ever give.
I am at my wits end with Kate cracking up! - need to know how to install files/folders correctly.

If I may be repeating what you already know, my apologies.
1. First Back up your TomTom using explorer before making any changes.
2. Use a suitable programme to open the RAR files.
downloadable from http://www.rarlab.com/ or http://www.jzip.com/ or http://files.uberdownloads.com/unrar.html
3. Then I deleted the existing LoquendoTTS file from my TomTom
4. Next Icopied over the new LoquendoTTS files onto TomTom
Hope this may help! _________________ Mick

To get voice input to work, select it in your quick menu and voila!
I guess like for me, it is no longer showing up in the main menu. |

Originally, there was no HTML link, just the url in text. Thus when I copy/pasted into the browser, no such option was apparent.
With Firefox, it was possible.
In any case, I cant extract it in Mac. File Juicer demo made a bit of a mess. I will do on PC at work. |

Now take a deep breath.......
I am going to wait for a week or so, TomTom MUST sort this nonsense out by then. _________________ TT Go 720 (T)
