Has anyone found out if POI Capture still works after the upgrade? I understand it may not...

Only get the splash screen?

If anyone upgrades their x10 to 7.16 and finds out it only boots to the splash screen then do the following:

1. Reset the device to turn it off using a paper clip near rear connector.
2. With TomTom Home running and the device on the dock, turn it back on and allow it to connect to the computer (the TT should have the green computer picture showing).
3. Click the "My TomTom" or "operate my device" link and first of all use the device on your screen in the 'simulator'. After you've used the device via the computer, it should then boot normally.

No idea why this works, but it's worked for me and several others when this trick was posted to the forums of another site.

Since loading V7.16 onto my TTG 500 last night, the first difference I noticed was a quicker route catculation, one which I usually take. i will look for more as I drive around the country.

AT LAST: Status bar on the right! I've been waiting for this ever since they went widescreen!

MapShare is useful too (but somewhat limited). I've been able to fix the incorrect one-way designations in Winchester which I've had to put up with for 3-4 years.

The "Help Me" feature seems inapplicable to the UK. All the UK POIs apart from Hospitals are missing so most of these features don't work.

I've not noticed any difference in route calculation speeds, but I forgot to measure this before I upgraded. Perhaps someone who hasn't yet upgraded can do some before and after measurements on some long route plans?

I noticed that it said something like "[i] journey recording enabled" in a blue bar on the screen the first time I used it under version 7. Does anyone know what this means, where the data is stored, and what it's used for? I've not seen the bar since.

Ok, so I upgraded my 910 this morning and so far have found out the following (which I'm sure some of you may already know):

BAD

1) Bluetooth handsfree is now awful, echo's everywhere and it hangs after a while dropping the call, but repeating the previous second or so of audio until I reboot.

2) Voice activated address input isn't available

3) Can't see how to change the position cursor

4) Map share isn't available with my version of maps

5) Bluetooth file sharing doesn't seem to be available either Sad

GOOD

1) Maps now look a lot nicer onscreen, there appears to be some sort of "3D" effect to the maps in 3D view mode (I think they've just added shadows to edges of things, but it makes a big difference).

2) Optional Auto shutdown on power loss after a timeout. This is a great feature that was removed as a "bug fix" earlier on in the V6 software so when the external power is removed, the device switches off. I use this as I've got it wired so that the power is fed from the ignition of the car.

3) Can have a "Media" shortcut button on the main display for quick access to the MP3 player.

Still no true "pedestrian" mode which I find disappointing given the sizes of the newer devices (Ie, why can't you turn off snap to roads). It's useless for walking around in town and a Garmin style "breadcrumbs" trail would be very useful and easy to implement. A simple arrow giving the direction and distance to the waypoint would also be helpful in this mode.

So, still no news as to whether a Navcore 7 option will be available for TT Navigator 6 users ? Sad

, but there again, from what I've seen said about the upgrade on x10 devices, I'm wondering if it would actually be worth it!!! Confused

Have updated my G510 to v7 software. However, I don't appear to have any of the guides installed. Any idea why?
