Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2016 9:28 pm Post subject: NEW VERSION OF TTHOME! |
|
|
TTHome has just prompted me with:-
A new version of TomTom HOME is available: 2.9.9.3860
It is a critical update for the version you are currently using: 2.9.8.3722
BUT, at around 90% of this download/install exercise I get an error message:-
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your Support Personel for assistance"
What is this all about? Any ideas?

open a Command Window with Administrator privilege then type:
sfc /scannow then press return
this will check your Windows system files and correct any corruption. Should then allow the Installer to run |

From TT themselves:-
Hi All,
Yesterday we released a minor update to TomTom HOME. This new release contains no new functionality, only a bug fix for an issue with downloading maps for the Fiat Uconnect.
@justbrowsing: You can just reinstall the HOME application on you PC (Make sure to delete the temp files while installing the new version) See here: http://us.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17039
Cheers,
lampard
...and apparently has ALREADY been withdrawn as it is not now being offered if you try to "Check for HOME update" !!! |

As expected, NEW version of TTHome just released:- 2.9.93.432 which has something to do with these no-more-maps legacy devices!
Every day, at TomTom, we work very hard to bring you the best navigation experience ever. A big part of this work is to continuously improve the quality of the maps and software that your sat nav runs on. As a consequence, however the memory required to install these higher quality maps increases every year.
As we work tirelessly to launch new technologies and deliver a great customer experience, it has become clear that some of our first generation navigation devices do not have sufficient memory to store the newest maps and features available. For example the map of Europe is now more than 7GB and the average map size increase per quarter is 400MB.
TomTom solved this situation by dividing the installed map into smaller regions (Map Zones) which are available to download when a device is connected to the TomTom HOME software. However, we foresee that in less than 6 months, even these smaller regions won’t be able to fit into your device.
For this reason, we have stopped sales of map updates and other services as of 15/11/2016. Your trusted device will still work perfectly but you will no longer be able to buy any further map update.
If you have an active subscription to map updates or TomTom services, you will continue receiving those until the subscription runs out. For additional information head over to the FAQ page or call us for personalised support at 02079490129
The latest generation of TomTom devices now come with Free lifetime updates for World Maps, Traffic and Speed cameras. Maps, services and software are easily updated via Wi-Fi without the need to connect to a computer. They are also the fastest devices we have ever built, with quad core processors and 16GB of memory (expandable via SD card) |

Yet ANOTHER forced TTHome update 2.9.94.450
Jeez what wasters these guys really are that they can't even get that right!
Obviously goes without saying that the TT forum makes NO mention of this which is bloody typical!
Although they've banned me for posting "negative" comments, remarks, observations, criticisms (constructive and destructive ones) in their forum, at least I can still (currently) vent my spleen here at their ineptitude and in their disrespect & indifference towards their customers (who I always thought paid their wages, no?) |

Although I've kept my criticisms constructive in the TomTom forums I'm surprised that I haven't been banned - although I've had a few posts edited because I dared to say that PGPSW's camera database was better than TomTom's own.

As long as you adhere to the PGPSW forum rules then you can of course continue to vent your spleen about TomTom here.

So after I suffer the upgrade shortly, I may find myself inviting another suspension from TT forum.
Maybe somebody should start a thread here for us to boast of the number of times we've been suspended from TT's forum? _________________ Dennis

Is that a badge of honour then D. I guess I'll have to pop over there and get myself banned if it is. |
