I am not aware of a way to disable this, but it is noticable that when using RDS-TMC you get more prompts to continue on the same road than when it is disconnected - Mike

Strange thing happened today. I've upgraded from 7.481 to 8.010 on my 720 and when I was driving home from Windsor to Ascot it took me a slightly different route 7.481 normally takes me, but what was worrying was that it also wanted me to go the wrong way down a road past a no entry sign in Winkfield!!!

Well I guess that you have found out why they have given us MapShare!

The different route could be explained by the IQ routes, the map obviously doesn't know about the no entry sign so add this detail to your map and it won't route you that way again - Mike

Hello Edwin, have you downloaded Mapshare updates? If you have chosen to accept all updates, someone may have closed a road off unwittingly.

Hi Mike, you beat me to it!
Am I right in thinking that IQ Routes are not available for the 720 yet?

The IQ routes data is contained within the vesion 8 maps which are currently only offered for purchase and download if you have an x30 device, there are some forum members reporting they have put a v8 map on their x20 units and it all works. The only problem with this is if the activation fails I very much doubt you would get much in way of support from TomTom - Mike

Sorry, I'm a wimp!, I'll wait till they go on sale.

Hi stuart
Yes, you are quite correct, it is a REME badge. Perhaps I already knew and was just testing. Well, that’s my excuse.

Well just docked my 720 and Home told me about the New Nav core 8 so I duly downloaded it and gave it a quick look.

To my surprise there was an icon for the ALG in the menu I hit the button and was told that my map did not support this function. So off to Home I went back and saw a big advert saying 30% off all maps untill the end of june so I brought one through Home.

"AT NO POINT WAS I TOLD THAT THIS MAP UPGRADE WOULD NOT SUPPORT THE NEW FUNCTIONS OF NAV CORE 8"

and yes you all guessed it, it is an old map with some updates to the raods but not the new IQ and ALG infomation.

I have called TOMTOM support and have asked for a refund as this should not be happening, if I don't get my refund then I will set Visa card after them.
Because of the icon showing in the menu it is madness not to have the abilaty to use it

I will let you know what TOMTOM say

A good point...
TomTom SHOULD SAY SO.
All the more reason to keep your eyes on the topics and news posts on here though, then you'd have known that these v8 features need v8 maps.
