After reading the posts from"vicky" about the 930 and the 920 with navcore 8,i decided to put it in my 520.
I don´t remember having a 0m on the gps status display on any other FW(i´m wrong?!)

Interesting that this FW works like a charm on my 520.
Much faster at power on(1 sec press)
The added mapshare corrections functions are very useful.

I believe that figure is your heading. After the tomtom has moved the number changes to show in which direction it moved (does it have a degree sign after it on your version? it does on version 7.xxx).

Where did you get version 8 from?

No,it´s not a heading indication.
Anyway it doesn´t do anything,always at 0 m,even when driving.
Now,where did i get it...i got it from Tomtom service center Smile

A friend of mine is working there and he got me the navcore with a file that even made it to look right(not the 920 menu colors from vicky).
And no he doesn´t give maps or activation procedures.Just the navcore like they gave some people to test it.

Haven´t you read what i wrote?!Like i said they gave the same FW to other people for testing purposes.
That´s why i have the same layout(colors,functions)like the 930,730,530.
I´m not under any NDA.

Yeah, but the person you got it from certainly was!

If nothing else, you could get him fired if there was any way of identifying him from your posts.

Also, I can't believe you jumped to conclusions (on the strength of a single "m"?), and posted to say it has an altimeter display; when you are running un-known beta software on a device it was never designed for, and you've found for yourself it doesn't actually DO anything!

jesus!!

The NDA expired the moment the x30 range come out to the market/features were anounced.
I was informed that it really is an altimeter.It will work someday! Smile

This is a little like the Official Secrets Act cvering people who worked at Bletchley Park.

They were told NEVER to divulge what went on there and, as they say, never is a very long time.

Being so clearly in the public eye, it would be foolish of PGPSW to contravene any agreement and jeopardise any future trials or evaluations which they may have otherwise been privvy to.

Like the result of the last competition, patience is a virtue and Darren et al will tell us what they can when they can
