I too have the file on my 520 but what is interesting is that all the files in the ASR folder are all dated 18/03/08 except that file which has the date 06/06/07 so all the rest updated today but the support_asr.dat file.

I just brought the NA 720 map from TomTom and installed it on my 8 GB SD card.
I hadn't checked until you asked, No the VR doesn't work on my NA map the icons aren't greyed out but when I select them they go to the address screen but in the top RH corner the mouth symbol stays greyed out.

So can anyone say whether the TMC delays are now showing anything other than "1 minute"? Or is the RDS - TMC function still as completely useless as ever?

Just tested new app, some suttle changes now when you go over the speed limit both the speed your doing and the road limit the whole background flash red not just the figures alot easier to see, had to reset the audio warning tho! The signal strenth bar is now vertical and smaller, but you cant use the extra space for anything else! TMC bar seems wider you get the delay icon but no time! could be a network issue so i'll wait to see on that, reception seemed better but today i'm in my car not my truck, voice reconition worked just the same no issues there. The app installed fine with no issues, the operate device worked fine. My poi warnings still work. The device does take longer too boot and the backlight dont come on till the start up pic apears! I liked the light coming on first as i knew the unit was awake Laughing Out Loud

but guess we just need to get used to new start up! Otherwise nothing else to report as yet! enjoy

This update is based on the version used in the beta testing which was V7425 so I suspect that behind the seens the IQ routing has been added ready for the new map releases. Things that have change:

* Speed limit indicator now more visible and turns red.
* Smaller GPS signal strength.
* New Voice recognition icon.
* POI Warning minor change.

TMC functionallity was not available in the beta, but this has changed for the worest. The older versions of software showed the station frequencies that the TMC was scanning, on occasions I used this to identifiy that the scan had got stuck. This has changed, instead of the stations frequencies being displayed you just get 'Looking for traffic signal' and then this changes to 'Updating traffic information' followed by 'Up-to-date'. Also the main screen icon has changed and there's only one icon, the arrow, that indicates scanning & updating. So in summary it will be more difficult to troubleshoot problems as the icons are the same and not frequency information is available.

I may be wrong as only played with the new version for a few minutes.
The RDS traffic issue does not appear to have been fixed. Once the traffic has updated and you get the green circle, when you browse the map and click on the traffic incidents no times are displayed (as are with the GPRS service). My route advised me of delays on route, showed a car on its side in the traffic bar on the RHS of the screen, but no delay time still.
