Well I delayed installing 8.010 on my 720 until I had read every posting in this thread. I have now tried it and it has not been a complete success. ASR worked in the last version but has stopped working now - as others have found, the relevant icons are greyed out. Unlike other posters here I have not been able to get it working again. I have tried all of the following, in various combinations and permutations:

Downloading and installing new application through HOME
Downloading CAB file and manually installing using WinRAR
Copying "support_asr.dat" over manually from backup of previous install (although it was already there)
Software reset
Hardware reset
Extract the folders from the x30 CAB and the loose files from the x20 CAB

I have e-mailed TT support but on their previous performance I am not expecting a reply soon. Has anyone got any suggestions short of rolling back to 7.481? I actually use ASR so this is rather a disappointment.

Hi Stewart

I had the same problem. What i done was d/l the cab file for both the x30 and x20 from the links from the beginning of this topic and extracted the files and folders for the x30, copied and pasted all of them onto my 520, then extracted the x20 files and copied and pasted over just the loose files not the folders and it worked straight away.

TT support just kept telling me to re-install via home which did not work

Hope this helps.

Ian

Hi

After waiting for this new great 8.010, it has proved to be the same utter crap from TT.

1. 8.010 wont install untill i remove my SD card.
2. 8.010 has to be installed seperatly onto the SD Card
3. I Have lost the use of my TMC, nothing shows up!
4. Lost all of my favorites!!
5. Restore wont replace my favorites.
6. Car symbol reverts to default each time i turn on.
7. loading up takes ages

Oh and im not impressed

Felt brave at the weekend: Confused

Saturday afternoon - Backed up and loaded 720 with Ver 8.010
Saturday evening - Bought and loaded cheap UK & Ireland map v805.1801 (asked for version for TT730!)

Sunday morning - Drove from Norwich to Dover/Dover to Norwich

Tomtom 720 and map worked perfectly - all voices, mapshare, POIs, voice recognition, phone connection to Sony K660i and lane guidance!!

Not sure if IQ was operating.

Couldn't fault it! Does this mean I'm wierd? Rolling Eyes

No, it doesn't mean your wierd; But I'm just trying work out whether you're either brave, foolish or rich or a combination of all 3! Confused

What would you have done if you'd bought the v.8 maps and found that they didn't work with the 720 or the screwed the 720 up!

That would have been £60 or more down the tube!

Wazza:

All the signs are that most of the innards of the 720 are the same as the 730 and it's just the programming that's different.

Map cost me £40 (with Tomtom discounted price) and I'd made sure I did a full (non-Home) backup first!

Nothing gets discovered if we all stick to the safe route , but perhaps the couple of glasses of red had some influence on my Saturday night decision! Wink

Anybody got any ideas when TomTom are going to release the V8 software for the TT One V2??

Am running the x20 software and the latest maps (v7.20??) on a spare card on my TT, and it works fine...

Although when you connect it to TT Home, you get the following message

"Error when contacting server: You have an invalid version of the TomTom application installed on your TomTom device. To use HOME you need to install the correct version of the TomTom application."

If I click BACK - it lets me continue, and it will update the Map Share and QuickGPSFix fine...

Cheers

Hi pimplebrain
Well done. Like the SAS “he who dares, wins”

Hi Stewart166
Yes it is strange how different users with identical devices get different results after downloading updates. How did I get on with my update? Well, it all went so easy I found the operation rather an anti-climax.
After downloading I put the 720 in the car and off I went. It switched on almost immediately and nothing had vanished or refused to work.
As I have all ready said, its a puzzle why the results vary.

I don't see what the issue is? At worst (so long as you backup first) you'd have wasted the money spent on the v8 map, or you may have a map you can't use until TomTom allow it.

But as it is now (unless TomTom change things to prevent this) it works. Clearly this suggests that TomTom are simply holding back on making this official so as not to damage x30 sales.
