I haven't connected my 520 to TomTom home for over 2 months as I have been away and have bought a new PC and had to spend some time getting everry thing to work with Vista Mad

Just updated my 520 and it offered me a new application version 8.010. Problem is that O thought that was for the x30 series Question

Should I be downloading this. I have tried searchinmg on 8.010 and 520 together but can find no other posts

Any help or advice welcome Very Happy

Thanks

Thanks - If it was released then pulled then released again, are there major issues with this update.

Is it worth me downloading it Question

i dont think so i believe it was issues with missing buttons etc as the x30 units are ever so slightly to the x20 but im not 100% on that

It's a valid release for your unit, but lots of people don't like some of the 'improvements'l it gives you.
Make sure you have a full backup (done with Windows Explorer not Home) before you update, so you can go back to v7 if you don't like it.

The reason given for it's disappearance was that people were confused that it offered the icons for Advanced Lane guidance when the maps required weren't available tox20 users yet - even though that was explained when you tapped on the menu item.

But apparently, the re-released version was exactly the same... Rolling Eyes
