Now custom POIs please... then red faces on the forum!
Why, pray? What's changed to make us retract anything we've said up to now?
Oh by the way...
My Europe version with v855 maps is apparently fully up to date according to Home/My TomTom. It still says "Your navigation device is up-to-date. There are no updates waiting for installation."
But hang on....
It took fully five minutes before the widget in the system tray changed to say there WAS an update while the website still insists there isn't.
If I'd just connected quickly to see if there was anything waiting, I'd have missed it.
Trying it now.... Lets hope it doesn't half-install the map files and then crash, bricking the unit completely, like some US forum users are reporting (no chance to return to a backup remember).

I've been disappointed with the release spec of the Go100x/Via series and commented as such. But xtraseller needs to know I do want one of these devices. Some functionality is lost by the web based interface, but I accept that for the apparent huge improvement in HD traffic.
The 'But' is, as has been pointed out, buying devices on the promise of future improvements, which have not been introduced, and TT moving on with new devices which do have the improvement.
Why TT should not trust me when my money has always been good I wouldn't know. Why I should trust them again - well I don't. Functions up front before I pay up _________________ Mike R [aka Wyvern46]

In a US forum, a member, running Win7, had an issue with "device not found" on a 2505, the non-live US version of the 1005. While some others with similar problems had been advised to return/exchange as nothing could be done to revive them, one support person suggested applying Microsoft hotfix KB959765. After doing so, he posted that he could now continue with his map update and all appeared fine. Worth a mention. _________________ Garmin 1695 / 255 / 760 w/MSN - Droid w/Google nav + Navigon - Navigon 8100T - Dakota10 - GPSMap76C - GeoMate Jr.
Relax everyone. (Oh! You already have). I have found my Tom Lead. But not before I ordered a new one and bracket from TT on the 15th. When I flung the lead onto the back seat it went straight into a box of Xmas presents bound for my daughters and she is going to courier the bits back to me as I cannot use it due to it bespoke plug. Oh for USB to make life simple.
Tomtom still have my order placed on 15th pending so if nothing happens today I shall cancel the order on the basis they have none in stock. If they had, they would have taken it off my credit card. Promises for software, promises for goods. They should be in politics.
One other thing. When I did have a lead I find I have to change the USB port each time for My Tomtom to connect. (Win7) It finds the device in any port but the software will not connect unless it has a fresh port. Spooky or what.
I have followed this thread with interest. It follows the ping pong debate I had with the PGPSW team prior to and just after launch. I see they are still banging on about custom POIs etc. I thought this had been settled finally through the Tom Tom announcement with dates for the additions. I hear the cry now “but they don’t deliver on their promises”
Having used the production unit for several weeks now I can report that, as far as I am concerned, the base unit performs on all fronts far better than previous units. Fast route calculation, good clarity, better menu structure, great Live Services facilities, even greater mount etc.
Do I want to change the splash screen? No. Do I need silly voiced? No. Do I want it to play music? No.
Having said that “My Tom Tom” is a complete mess, and there are no excuses for that. I have had an outstanding support query for a month now as the application will not load on 64bit machines running Vista (well not on any of my 64bit machines) No back up, no map downloads is really bad news and a disgrace.
Anyway Etraseller you are a brave man, but if, like me, you put your head above the trench and fire you can be expected to be bombarded at by all the enthusiasts !!!

Downloading now. Nice to see its eventually being updated. Hopefully will stop the reboots. Just need custom / 3rd party poi support now and i will be happy.
Just downloaded the updates to mine, still seems not to be smooth when going through the menus, seeing as we still have to count on Tom Toms database of speed cams, have they been updated yet ? is the over the air updates working ?
Roll on when I can use the Database from here, wonder thou how we will download that to the 1000 ?

Downloaded and installed fine, night time colour plan seems improved, as does roundabout lane navigation. Also seems to be slightly earlier vocal announcement of guidance instruction, which was needed
Don't have lag on my menus - what seems to be the problem on yours? Could you elaborate so we can confirm if same as our units or problem with your unit...?
Speed cams work fine for me, and always seem on target or there abouts.... fixed cameras are via PC downloads, mobile over the air - but cannot answer your question regarding if they are updated currently or not, but seem okay so I'm happy (nice to the have PGPSW ones in a TomTom Chargable App option one day next year - that would be good for everyone!) _________________ TomTom Go Live 6100, 600
