New Map 835.2419 Released

Updates via the LMG can be a few days after the 'update' release. If you're 28 days is nearly up, I would be trying to update now as, if there are problems, TomTom may ask for a scan of the receipt as proof of entitlement.

In any case, make a backup of the current data via Windows Explorer before doing anything else to it.

So how long should I wait? I have more then two weeks of my LMG left - will the new map be available using LMG early next week or what?

Right, I have downloaded and installed the new map with no trouble at all. It took me 2 ½ hours to download but that’s my slow broadband speed and I cant blame Tomtom for that.

I then copied the MapSettings. Cfg. File from the previous Map 8.30 backup and all my favourites, speed cameras and voice commands now work perfectly.
Now, it puzzles me why some users land in the ‘loop problem’ and others like myself suffer no bother at all. The devices are the same and the downloaded maps are the same. It’s a puzzle.

I updated my map this afternoon. I have an 8GB SDHC card in the slot, running App8.302. Internal memory has App8.351. When I connected to Home to check for updates, I selected Internal memory - it has plenty of space as I removed the Guam and North America maps ages ago.

I left it downloading and went off shopping for an hour and came back to find that it had downloaded and had installed the map on the SDHC card and was almost finished installing it on the internal memory.

When it had ended, I disconnected and fired up the 920 to check if it had installed to the SDHC card and it had. Worked fine. I then took out the SDHC card and went to check installation on the Internal memory and hit the reboot game - no matter what I did, it would get to the startup splash screen, pause for ages, then reboot. Looped at that continually. I tried everything, power button short and long presses, reset short and long, none of that worked. Eventually in desperation I shoved it onto the desktop mount/dock. TT asked if I wanted to connect to PC and I did. Fired up TT Home and had a poke around. Disconnected and it worked.

My Mapsettings.cfg file seems to have been retained - I don't have Favourites (just POIs), but my recent destinations were kept intact - showed all my recent destinations. Maybe the reboot loop is the bug introduced by TT in order to manage to carry forward the Mapsettings.cfg file? Rolling Eyes

Talking and reading here, I find this reboot looping can happen to anybody - I had SDHC card and internal memory, others have only internal memory. With a card, my map installed itself on both internal and card memories. Others don't get it on both.

There is one thing, I suppose - TT helpline is unlikely to be declaring staff redundant for the foreseeable future!! Laughing

My 720 got stuck in the reboot loop after downloading the new map last night. It seems that it didn't replace the old mapsettings.cfg file because it was exactly the same size as the one in my backup. Before deleting it, I tried the trick of using "Operate my Go" in HOME, and adding a new favourite. But that didn't work so I deleted it and it turned on ok.

Does the mapsettings.cfg file hold lots of settings though because my device behaved like a brand new one, asking me to select country, language, units, set the clock etc? Just as if I had returned it to factory settings.

At least it's working and my favourites are all saved as pois but I'll now have to set all my Europe & UK speed camera warnings again.
