Navcore 8 Upgrade for Older Devices Released

[lesbsmith]

For me the ASR options are not even there. Tried a reset, gone back to 7.481 (where it does work) but no difference when I revert to 8.010. The software must really be bad that we experience different problems. Still I'm sticking with 8.010 until something better comes out.[/quote]

It's gotta mean something if we all go round jumping for joy when TomTom bring out an update which cures the power on switch and very little else.

Phew upgraded at 2355 last night, lucky i did ! Hate the compass but the other improvements outweight that! Maybe we can all copy and paste the email to tomtom if enough of us complain about the compass maybe they'll revert back next update!

I fixed my ASR by doing a hard and soft reset, copying all of the files manually from the cab file and booting up without my 8GB SDHC card in - magically it now works.

Not sure which of the above steps actually fixed it but at least it works.

Off to play with the TMC today ................................

Will there be a Navcore update for the TomTom Go 300.

Hi, what am I doing wrong. I have tried to update my 920 using the link on the first page of this topic. I unzip all the folders and then copy the across to the unit I then get a red flashing X and home telling me there is a fatal error and it closes down. Try reset unit but to no avail so have restored back to 7.481, but would like 8, just because its there.
thanks

TomTom have a very good track record of upgradeability and I would expect to see further models offered the Navcore 8 software as time progresses, the remaining One models and x10 devices would be the next logical step - Mike

Mike beat me to it. Although it's not yet available I would be very surprised if an update was not forthcoming at some later date.

This is one area where TomTom do shine and deserve some credit. They have released updates for all their PND's and continue to support their first generation devices with upgrades which is very unusual in this marketplace.

Thanks GPS FAN, but it might have been withdrawn from dowload via home, but you can still download it via the link on page 1 or 2 of this post.
So does anyone know what I am doing wrong to get the fatal error message.
Thanks

Howard, How are you putting the files on the device? the download will contain 15 files that go in to the root of the device replacing existing files of the same name, the folders need to be treated slightly differently though.
You have to consider the update only contains files that have changed or are new, for example the "bin" folder in the upgrade contains 3 files, the "bin" folder on your device contains 5 files.
You need to put the files from the update into their respective folders on the device otherwise you will loose vital files that will make the device refuse to boot
I use Windows Explorer to achieve the above with two windows open at the same time, one shows the update the other shows the device, simply dragging files from one window to the other dropping the files into the correct folders or sub folders on the device.
To speed the process up you can copy/ replace the "helpme" folder in one go as that folder is complete within the downloaded update, all the others have to be treated as mentioned earlier - Mike
