I still can't get Mapshare to work. The updates download but can't be installed. TTCS say they will take the problem to the second level, but no word so far.

It started when I updated to the latest software. I have since reverted to the old one, but it hasn't helped.

Anybody else seen these?

1. When I downloaded corrections just now, it simply flew - never been so fast before.

2. When it all started working again, my corrections shot up from 70+K to 99999 (GO920, W&CE v710). After another three downloads, it's still at 99999. Is this the glass ceiling? Did they never expect to have six figures of corrections?

3. The TT publicity says you receive corrections from 10 million users. You'd think there'd be more than 99,999 submissions by now.

4. Is it really true that corrections are map specific? - that corrections to one map won't be passed to another? In other words, corrections to WE v710 won't be passed to W&CE v710 or to GB v710, or France v710?

Either the counter is stuck, OR they don't quite have 5,000 people (with fingers and toes) logging them OR 100000 in binary is something special. Confused

Maybe we shall find out soon - my 720 with WE v710 has this morning updated from 93473 to over 97,000. I'm expecting it to hit the ceiling soon at 99999!

This line:

installedPatches = Math.min(Math.round(installedPatches), 99999);

in the file

C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\xul\extensions\MapShare-status@tomtom.com\chrome\content\indicator.xml

will limit the display to 99999. I dont have a map that has 99999 installed patches so I can't test what happens if you add another 9 to the number.

Give that man a coconut. You've sussed it out correctly.

I added an extra '9' to both lines and my map showed 107554. I checked for updates, downloaded another tiny mapshare file and it now shows 107613.

It would appear that they thought 99999 was a pretty safe number and no one would ever go past it?

So, it would appear to have been working OK, it was just a display problem.

What caught my eye was a line at the top of the file name you have to edit which says :-

"TomTom is hiring experienced mozilla developers! - contact us at xul-jobs@tomtom.com"

Thanks again Laughing
