TomTom App 9.401 - Released

I'm find it a bit problematic. Sometimes it will connect after about 2 minutes, others the traffic bar appears, spinning circle, then disappears. Full reboot with drums then can take up to 10 minutes to come back.

That isnt the symptoms I get.

The connection to the network is "instant" as per the system status screen but none of the live services are available (Google, traffic etc) are available until the traffic bar appears and it tries to connect.

At the very least the bar should appear immediately and show it is trying to do something.

No update from TT today after they phoned me yesterday!

FWIW, I've done two unscientific tests on the time to get traffic on my 740. Starting the satnav in the car and noting the time, two journeys have been just over two minutes to start getting data (showing the bar) and probably another two minutes to actually get it (I assume that would vary depending on volume of data). Both times in a good signal area (driving around the cell-tower building in fact).

I'm much more concerned about how it does in long journeys and whether it will still lose the info far too easily.

I'm finding it has destabilised the rds-tmc on my 530 again. By destabilised I mean after maybe 20 minutes of use it finds it difficult to locate my position and hops around nearby roads within [perhaps] a half mile radius. With 8.351 this happened, 9.400 seemed to fix it, 9.401 has reintroduced it.

Despite the problems I had earlier in the week, my 940 seems to have fixed itself and I now have all services working in a reasonable amount of time. Traffic is still not as fast as with Navcore v8 but at least I've got a working device....for now that is.

Given the problems I've had in the past and with other's ongoing issues I suspect that I'll need to keep an eye on things.

After not being offered this update on my Go520 I removed my SD card & updated the device using the internal memory.
Im not sure if there is an option to change this but when I select to enter an address via the post code the device only takes the first 3 letters you then have to enter the name of the street your after.
This seems a much slower way of doing things if like me your entering 20 addresses at the same time..

Reading this thread I am getting mixed messages regarding installing v9.401 on x50 LIVE devices. Some users are getting problems and others none! When I went onto HOME yesterday with my 750L, v9.401 was ticked but greyed out so cannot be unticked, so I declined. This of course means that I cannot select other updates. I guess I am going to have to wait awhile to see how things pan out.

I know that I can try it after backing up (already done the backup) but I just hate faffing about when I shouldn’t have to.

Cheers, jack

9401 is now a total disaster for me

Get the classic "An error occurred on the TomTom server. Please try again"

message Evil or Very Mad

Just a thought, could Garmin take over Tom Tom's patents on HD traffic on the grounds that Tom Tom were not properly exploiting them?

Yes I do know the answer is no

You've lost your postcodes files. It's not uncommon.

Download the latest postcode files onto your PC, from here:
http://www.tomtom.com/updates/zipcodes/Map_885/zip.zip

Find the downloaded archive file in Windows Explorer then right-click on it and select "Extract all"

That should produce a FOLDER called "zip" with four files inside.

Copy that entire folder onto the TomTom, using Windows Explorer.
(Do not copy the original downloaded file onto the TomTom, that won't work)

Your postcodes should now be OK.

Your images look like maybe you're not going about it the right way...

You need to select ... Navigate to, then ... Address, then ... Postcode as per this screen...

Then you get this screen into which you type the full postcode without spaces at the top - the road names will change as you type.

If it doesn't look like this, then I bet you haven't got the postcode zip folder on the device - look at it with Windows Explorer (I use Mac Finder) and it should have a folder called zip....
