Hi Kar, I can get my TT ONE 3rd edition to work with HOME in XP (running as a VM on my Macintosh). So there is hope that they can get the native Macintosh version to work also I guess.

I just got a ONE v3 Europe today and hooked it up to my download the new file it requires, then I get Error has occurred "Installation of the add-on failed". I have a button to report it to TomTom which I have done (twice).


The addon it tries to download has a navcore compatibility version embedded. I assume your Navcore version is 7.166. The download however is marked as compatible with version 7.163 only. Here's how to fix it: Use Finder to navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/TomTom HOME/Profiles/xxxxxxxxx.default/extensions/Navcore.7.163.8493.mac@tomtom.com/

(xxxxxxxx is a random string that changes with each new install -- yep, they're using the Mozilla engine and the whole thing is just a glorified web browser)

Now edit install.rdf and change two lines:
tt:navcoreversionto -- change that version to 7.199
tt:navcorebuildto -- change that to 8999

Now start Home and it should work (first time is slow, but after you've set your current location it should be OK).

Fantastic! - Many thanks - why can't TomTom get this fixed themselves one wonders? I notice they update the TT HOME Mac program the other day but still with the same problem. Now V 2.3.0.32

Just one question?

Do you have both "TomTom" and "TomTom HOME" in ~/Library/Application Support ?
