Thanks, Andy - I've just noticed your other thread and suggest that any discussions are continued there instead as it may be more appropriate to discuss in the 8.301 thread

!

so TT offer official advice to use the solution posted and tested by users on here yet again.

Getting a bit beyond a joke when they are months behind us, Mike Alder and I were testing this over Christmas after another user posted the direct link.

Laughable really that you got that response on the day 8.301 came out!

Andy, I said exactly the same thing in the last thread. Tom Tom are becoming a joke. I sometimes feel a bit guilty posting because I do a lot of criticising but am not pro-active in the solutions posted here. That said, if I wanted to do my own development I'd have stuck with Destinator which is like an over the counter SDK! :-)

It annoys me that a listed company with millions of users thinks it's ok to cut and paste advice from a forum which they never participate in. I have a team of software developers in my company and I reckon they could knock the bugs out of the current verson in a few days, even less if they were working with it day to day. Tom Tom is starting to look like a one man software team with multi-million pound sales. They must think we are dumb as hell!

As an example, this week a client phoned up our place with a bug when soft-edge blending between two 3rd party projectors (which we don't support) had a minor issue but enough for a client to be unhappy. in a matter of hours there was a patch available with instructions to save the show. The edge Tom Tom have is that it doesn't stop selling if it doesn't work 100%. In most industries you're only as good as your last job but because we can still get where we set out to go they think it's ok for us to find a way around things. I'm in the wrong business!

I actually feel strongly enough about it that if I knew of a product launch or shareholders meeting where I could tnd up and voice my opinion I'd go. It would cost me three times as much to attend as the device cost me in the first place but it's almost a mtter of principle and because I fee our guys do a better job I expect the same from the products I use day to day. As I've said before, when technology is moving so fast I think TT are playing a very dangerous game. if a software only product for PDA/Smartphone/BlackBerry use came out with 75% of the features and a forward looking aproach everyone in these threads would migrate instantly.

Maybe the bosses already have the yacht and the holiday home but I don't think they give a sh*t about us any more. Does anyone feel the same way?

Well said Jimbo,
Get on to watch dog. I think they need some bad publicity to kick them up the rear end, they might then sort stuff out. If you bought anything else that wasn't up to the job and didn't do the things it said it could do, you would have had a refund a long time ago, and the products wouldn't be selling. I know some people say that tomtom update old units where other companies don't, but this is the reason a good many of us bought from this incompetent company in the first place, to have updated units that actually work.

So seeing as how v8.301 has failed to make any difference i have resigned to giving 8.320 a go.

I have installed it to a blank SD card and then copied over the Kate v7 voice and the NA map.
Then booted from the SD card and all seems to be working ok. (keeping v8.301 on internal, just in case)
I will trial it over the next week to see how well it performs.

One question, i was under the impression that there were different icons to the v8.300, but as far as i can see there is no difference at all, other than no stutter yet.
Can someone tell me what the differences are?
