Latest application version for 750 live?

Hi,

I've just bought a new 750 Live today to replace my old 720.

What is the current application version for these devices? According to the status page I currently have 9.001 OS 366544 which I think is out of date?

I've installed Home and it isn't offering me a new version of the software for my device (but it is offering me Safety camera updates).

Thanks.

9,025 is the latest application for the device with map v840 - Mike

The order in which you need to do this is as follows:

1/ Windows Explorer backup to the PC (most important)
2/ Use Home to update the application to 9,025
3/ Use LMG to update the map to v840

There won't be another newer map released for around 60 days so you have nothing to lose in doing this now - Mike

Update the application BEFORE you mess around with the map as per my previous post or is Home refusing to offer the newer 9,025 application? - Mike

You need to be using a unique e-mail address for each device, the actual e-mail address used doesn't need to be an active one in fact anything in the e-mail format for an address with work fine.

My750@blueyonder.co.uk will be fine as would bobmoss@snailmail.com even though neither address actually exist! - Mike

Thanks Mike.

I've already told it to link the device to my old account (as prompted by Home).

However, I'll try creating a new account and linking my device to that.

I've no explanation as to why it isn't offering you the software update, but so long as you're SURE you have a good backup, you could try this experiment:

Delete all the "loose files" off the unit (I.e. the ones that are NOT in any folders, leave the folders alone) and then try the update and see what Home puts on it.
