Voice problem after 8.3 on 720

To install this to your device I use WinRar which you can download from Here Switch the TomTom on and connect it to your PC, if TomTom Home starts up exit the application as Home isn't needed for this.

Double click the file you have downloaded from the TomTom server and winrar will fire up, use the mouse to select all files and folders then click "Extract To"

Please note this picture is from a different version to 8,320 but is used for illustration purposes

Locate the drive letter associated with your TomTom and click it, make sure the Overwrite mode is selected to "Ask before overwrite", then press "OK"

When the dialogue box pops up saying "Confirm File Replace" click the "Yes To All" button.

Sit back and watch the progress bar, with a good USB2 connection a Navcore 8,320 installation will take around 2 minutes.

When its finished the update use the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon from the Task Tray and remove the lead from the device.

Let the device boot up and tap the sat strength meter (lower left) followed by the version box, the resultant screen will confirm the version installed is Navcore 8,320 - Mike

8.32 installed OK following the method outlined above.

However, TT Home is giving problems. I get a message saying "This function is not yet supported for your navigation device or operating system" when I use the "Operate your Go" command.

Anyone else seen this message after the update or otherwise?

I have tried a reset on the 920 and also checked the files against the back up.

I downloaded and installed the x30 version on my 720 that you supplied the link to Mike, but when I tried to connect to home I got an error message. So I then installed the x20 version and it connects fine. I will have to give it a go tomorrow. Many thanks
Why haven't tomtom giving this version to people then? Why would they have produced a different version of the software for the works user? Perhaps they thought that companies wouldn't pay for a flawed service but it would be ok for the general user to put up with.
Its brilliant that they can produce this stable software version for the work user, but have dragged their heels and done nothing about everyone else.
They deserve to go bankrupt in this recession!

Mike et al.

Many thanks for the links - over last night and today I've ploughed through all 31 pages Shocked

and just done the upgrade to 8.320 and Kate V7 and it seems to work on my window ledge and not connected to the pc. Need to try it this week as I've got some longer journeys later. If you want a laugh, try TT in France - the pronunciation isn't that bad but it gives up on the length of the road names and with the stutter it was a joke...

Someone mentioned about whether there was a difference with power level and voices. I think my 920 unit's battery could be on the way out as it hasn't been holding charge for a while and voices tended to be the first thing to fall off when it was low charge - I guess due to the juice needed to run the speaker rather than 'just electronic circuits.' Has anyone else found this? It tended to charge in the car but not on the cradle Exclamation

I've got until the 18th of the month (end of 1 yr warranty) to decide whether the unit has got a battery problem or whether it's "software created" from the route auto switch-on.

Cheers,

Andy

Hi

Yesterday I updated my 720 to Navcore 8.320 and also installed latest maps of Western Europe (map version 813.2003, can some one please tell if it is the latest version?).

I had stuttering problems after dowloading 8.300 and wrote here when mikealder advised me (Thanks Mike) to downgrade to a previous application version as I was then using map v7 plus. The problems instantly went and I was OK with it.

However, there was a recent offer by Tomtom (30% reduction for latest maps *plus* map update gaurantee for a year [£71 for both options] , which both I opted for as the offer was ending Jan 13.

Following mikealder's instructions on page 28 and 30 of this thread, i installed everything on my device. Map download took about 3 hours (with one break but luckily it resumed from where the error had occured).

I have not used it much since but my first impression is that it is working ok. No stutter at all. Map refresh seems to be reasonable as well.

The only thing it did was: Home location disappeared, favourites disappeared. Warnings to PGPS cam database disappeared.

I thought of putting it down here so others, who have had the same problems, may benefit.

best

Phil,

I was using an externally powered USB hub as opposed to a pc only multiport hub. Sometimes leaving it on charge for over 12 hours with it switched off, I'd still find it to be dead when I removed it to work on battery power alone.

It seemed to charge up OK over the last few days in the car so I'll see how long it can hold it.

So general consensus so far is 8.320 with TTS7 seems pretty stable with no apparent lag or stutter.

About time TT got round to fixing it properly!
