With 9.054 for the Go950 the 'Switch to 3D view when following a route' does not work.Sad


Every time the device is turned on and you select 'navigate to' you have to press the 2D/3D toggle to go to 3D mode. It didn't both me too much but not it is very annoying. Mad

Looks like TomTom didn's test the 9.054 on any device. Rolling Eyes

It does work, but the option is worded wrongly.

If you want to stay in 3D mode all the time, then UN-TICK where it says "Switch to 3D mode when following a route" in 2D/3D preferences.

Then once you have switched to 3D view it should stay there.

BTW, it's been tested, but that doesn't mean they change things before releasing it!

Well with 9.026 the wording is the same. I have the 2D view when no route is planned and then when I navigate somewhere the view changes to 3D. When you clear the route the map returns to 2D. I have the option ticked for view as 3D which in my mind is correct. The initial connecting to traffic with 9.054 seems slower and I frequently get the rotating circle update for ages. On reverting back to 9.026 my 950 connects to traffic more promptly.

Yeah, I know, the wording has been the same on all v9 software versions I've seen.
However, I can certainly say I have my 940 in a state where it stays in 3D view all the time I'm using it.

The only time it will revert back to 2D is if I manually "Clear route" from the menus, but I never do that...
With it in 3D view, I create a route and drive it all the way until it says I've reached my destination. At that point it is still in 3D view. I can then create another route to a different destination, and it stays in 3D.

Its the kind of bug that you feel won't bother you but after a while it becomes damn annoying. I am still awaiting a reply from TomTom but I have gone back to 9.026. Quite amazing such a simple obvious error can pass through testing.

I have, and I walked up and down my road last night creating short routes to prove to myself how it is working before I posted.

I followed Andy's instructions and I agree with him it works.

I am fed up as a consumer being a beta tester for everything. A box that used to be ticked to enable something now is unticked to enable something. Rolling Eyes

It's like an off switch becoming an on switch. Laughing

Thing is I like having the 2D view with no route planned and then 3D with a route. The upgrade is actually a step backwards in my mind. Rolling Eyes

TomTom support have responded to my email

Sorry to hear you are experiencing some issues with the 2D/3D view with the latest application (version 9.054). At the moment, our developers are currently working on a few issues with the latest application, not too sure if this something they are aware of, or is indeed a slight fault within the application.
To allow our 2nd Line Team to investigate the issue further, can you please provide me with the System Information from your device?

I deleted 9.054 from the device and computer and am not being offered it again!
