XXL Very Slow

Stecha · Regular Visitor Joined: May 09, 2007 Posts: 65

Ok, my XXL Classic series with 3.6 GB drive and full Europe 2.7 GB on, is very slow. Even slower now that at last map update I had a compulsory Navcore update to 9.540
Any ideas why ?
I have defragged the hard drive
Is there a hard drive upgrade for these ?
Its certainly noticeably slower than my 700 was Sad

, whether its installing software, doing a windows copy, or planning a route or finding an alternative route etc
Its fine once a route is planned Confused

Try a drum reset on the unit by holding the power button about 20 seconds till you hear the drum sounds unless your model has a dedicated reset hole.

How about reducing the number of POI's "shown" and/or run clearflash.exe three times and/or delete mapsettings.cfg from you map folder

Thanks
Only two POIs showing, although I may have too many overall
Ahh clear flash, not heard that mentioned for a few years
Mapsettings cfg, yes, thats an idea,

It has improved since the reset

But a biggie if it doesn't. Rolling Eyes

Save it to your computer before deleting so that you can re-instate it when/if deleting it makes no difference.

I dunno whether it's a long time - presumably it depends on the speed of read/write on the devices you're using. But I think maybe I'd feel disappointed if 4GB took an hour.

Let's face it, in my opinion the 700 was the very best that TomTom ever made, I suspect I might commit crimes to get hold of another one, my ideal would be to find a derelict shop full of unsold original 700s. What a dream! All that performance and functionality again! I'm drooling at the very thought.

I agree Dennis
A 700 with an XXL screen, would have been the dogs danglies
