Rename the old File as old.data.chk

The best way as HOME only seems to handle TT downloads.;)

If you put the new data.chk file in your HOME download folder, and place a .toc file next to it, describing the file, then HOME will be able to install it.

I tried to put example content for such a .toc file here, but it does not allow me. Error that I use not allowed HTML tags.

Richard, what data.chk did you use on your Classic with version 6.150. 7120 does not work for me. Regards Mike.

I haven't tried the data.chk yet as I don't use it very much anyway. Will give it a GO sometime.;)

Did you rename the old data.chk File as I suggested? Did it make any difference?

Richard, Could you tell me if there should be any data.chk within the map of Great_Britain_Plus Map as I deleted 7120 from there and put it into the main directory and got camera voices back, but I still have a data.chk old, in the map folder, I think I must have put it there when updating before and wonder if I should delete it as I did with the 7120. Regards Mike.

All data.chk Files should be in the Root of the SD Card. I would leave the old one in the Map Folder as it can then be your Backup, if ever needed.;)

just to clarify.

my TTG 700 is running latest version 6150 and i have just installed the data.chk file 7120

as per my previous post, I have found that if I dont click on the icon in the system tray (bottom right of taskbar) to 'safely remove hardware' and just unplug lead TTG reboots ok.


As for the 7120 data.chk file this isnt working Sad have put the file in both western europe folder and root folder.

have just noticed that when connecting to the TTG via TT Home I have noticed the following:

the version shown is 6.100 compared to 6.150 when shown on the TTG screen when not connected

the 7120 camera warning sounds are ok when accessed directly on the TTG but when accessed via TTH the sounds are the original ones



anyone got any ideas on these weird happenings???

Hi, thought I'd share my experiences of upgrading TTOne from 5.4x to 6.15.
TT Home installed under XP on my PC, then I downloaded the 6.15 update and transferred it to my TTOne. All seemed fine until after a couple of power off/on cycles it stopped talking to the PC via USB. The PC would not see the TTOne and the TTOne went straight into navigate mode.
The only way I could get the USB functionality back was by a "paperclip reset" and this only lasted for a couple of power on/offs before losing USB yet again.
Finally I did a "Factory Reset" from the TTOne menu, went through basic setup, powered down, did a "paperclip reset", powered up and re-entered my favourite setting etc. Now the TTOne asks (on its display) if I want to connect to the computer whenever it detects the USB is connected - I guess this is new functionality which had been "suppressed" by the old configuration. Its been fine since. Bit of a pain losing the favourites and personal defaults but at least its working properly now.

So maybe some older configuration settings are incompatible with the new software. The only way to find out may be to do a factory reset - take plenty of backups along the way too - just in case!

Hope this helps someone.

Can anyone point me to an overview of the TT file structure - what files do what etc? Just curious.

BS
