Vicky, what software and mapbuild versions are on your shiny new (or matt black, even) 930, please?

If the UI is this slow, traffic via the RDS-TMC aerial still does not give proper delays on v8 software... what are TomTom playing at??

Are they about to repeat their past mistakes? I like their products when they work and lots of others seem to as well... but this is not looking good at the moment.

The edit function on another forum I use a lot is a recent addition but times out after 5 minutes for non-mods - so we can correct errors. Sometimes when you can amend what was said a long time before means it's missed and no obvious trail for others.

Right Just got the Phone connected

And Joy of Joy is has a free GPRS Traffic connection (Unlike the 920T)

Traffic info is correct on the GPRS Link

Vicky - thanks for re-doing the pictures; I really just meant for future reference, but this is great.

Thanks to everyone else who pointed out that the first pictures were done with a camera - Dennis had me thinking I was going crazy for a moment!

JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN!!!!

Here is a TT920T Running Navcore 8 with V715 Maps

I see little point in running vs8 Navcore software with the old v715 maps, they will not contain the necessary data for the Lane Assist or reality view, this will also mess up any TomTom Home derived updates to the 720 that might be released, the only difference you will see is the Terry's Chocolate Orange" colour scheme - Mike

Great posts Vicky.

One thing I notice from the screen-shots...

The 7.480 and .481 issue with the traffic maps persists into 8.xxx

That is to say, in your first screenshots, the plain 'gray' lines of issues, they SHOULD be coloured - amber for roadworks, or blue for lane restrictions or closures etc.

In 7.48x they are grey. Revert back to 7.221 and they are the correct colours.

So I see that this error or bug is prevalent in the new 8.xxx too.

Me, I think I am now more convinced than ever I will be leaving the x30's to the early adopter beta testers.

Grins.

Thanks for the really helpful posts though.

I Agree Mike

As per the title - just because you can

I just wanted to check if 8 was compatible with the older maps,

I will be slinging it back to a backup of navcore 7 later on (Although will have a play first!)
