For when you get back vicki...

Are you sure there's a specific problem with Mapshare and your new 930? Isn't it just that Mapshare isn't working, full stop?

Can you double confirm the model number?
You said Go930T: 4ch9.000.

Just I've never seen them use lower case letters before. The number style has always been like this:
GO920: 4M00.900
Go 910: 4V00.910
One "3rd Ed" (Regional): 4N01.001

Hi guys Im getting my 930 on Monday if I have the problems Vicky is having Im just wondering if to send the unit back to where it came from. Or do you think its because the 930 is not on the home dock yet.

With the tts voices , I have no idea why they did not come with the 930,do you think Vicky has just got a faulty unit from the start. when I get mine I will post my findings on here as well. but before I update anything on home (if I do????) I will try the unit as its just come out of the box and in raw mode thou with vickys tts files and decide what to do from there.

But reading Vickys comments about it not showing up as a 930 on the home dock , , im just wondering if the tom tom home is different for each country for each unit for the 930.

As the software is the same as in the 920 apart from nav 8 , im also gettiing mine from the same source as Vicky. fingers crossed, I will be roadtesting mine on Monday when it turns up. and decide then if its on the road back to where the unit comes from or on the road in my car.

The unit not working correctly with TT Home is more likely to be the TT server not up to speed with the new devices yet.
The missing TS voices seem strange the retail x20 units were shipped with a disk containing the other foreign language files, should a user want to use them. Perhaps TomTom have moved away from supplying the disk at all with the x30. I can certainly understand why a device intended for sale in France hasn't got the UK TTS files built in though, these files take up considerable space if they are all loaded, but to not supply them at all isn't very good.
Your last paragraph is very wrong, the 920 and 930 are the same in terms of hardware, but the software including the maps is completely different - Mike

Another Missing Feature on TT 930 V 8.002

Spoken Address & Spoken Address (Dialogue) are both now greyed out on the 930

So no Navigate to spoken address, I know it tended to be a love it or hate it feature, but I did use it so a little miffed to find it missing on the 930!!!

Mapshre is now working on last connection it downloaded 2850 updates and is now showing as up to date

The problems getting my phone to reconnect to it have now been sorted, it was a problem with duplicate accounts for multiple devices, now I have moved the 930 to an account on its own it works fine

Hi Tim

you could be right, I have had to bodge my TTS by copying over the TTS Folder from my 920 the files are in a different format and layout on the 930 so could not just copy over the UK voices,

It is working for TTS but may well have messed up the voce recognition, I have also copied over the folder you mentioned so that did not fix it

figure I will just have to wait till someone with a UK 930 can supply me with the correct voice folder, or if and when TT support can figure out how I can download it!

There seems to be a very wierd anomoly in the IQ Routing on the M1

When planning a route from anywhere in the North to London

(This is wth TMC & Traffic disabled so it is not taking account of any traffic incidents)

Using Weekend IQ plans the route correctly and sends you straight down the M1

Using Weekday IQ it plans the route bringing you off the M1 at Jnc 23 sends your round the side roads and routes back on the M1 at the next junction, I hope this is not indicative of IQ performance !!

Here are some grabs

Plus a very blurry youtube video showing the issues and the Lane Change Screens (Sorry really poor quality)

The thing is, if Tomtom have used user-supplied data which shows that using the M1 between those junctions is slower, IQ routes is doing its job, isn't it?

What we really need is hourly IQ routing, not daily routing.

Good point Vicky.

What will happen if IQ takes you off the Motorway between point "A" and point "B" and then HD says that the alternative is Blocked/Busy/Slow/Whatever?

Will HD put you back on the Motorway because it is in fact clear at that time or will it take you farther afield?

I am moving over to the faction that says wait six months 'till these things come to light and get sorted.

In the meantime keep up the good work testing for us Vicky and keep us informed!

After reading Vickys comments I am thinking of returning mine tomo the same day I get it (mines also from France) and wait for the uk version to come out, had I have known that the 930 did not have english voices I would not touch it.

Does anyone know when the english region version of the 930 is out I know its the end of April but that does not say much really.
