7210 / 8110 Software upgrades

jonandmarkuk · Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 8:38 pm Post subject:

Still no change on the website, just says coming soon and the German forum users seem to be loosing interest in posting updates. People are now busy in a thread discussing the actual 8310 someone has.
Seems the keyboard style has been changed to the same as the 7310 screenshots seems the range will now have a consistantancy across the range.
Someone has also 'hacked' the keyboard screen to show as QWERTY.

As the 8310 is shipping, the issue must be in the update process. I know the webpage says you can use the 2Gb card if you delete country maps not used and I wonder if that's the issue, but I'm just guessing.
Suppose the delay is better than releasing software which could break the units during the update.

As for PoiWarner, it sounds like the software functions with the new software (after re-install) but it may need to be re-activated so you may have to contact Navigating.de for a new code.

Hi All,

Been a while. I still have my 8110, it was unloved until POI-Warner came along. Very Happy

I too am interested in this upgrade but am unsure of this MyRoutes feature and whether it is a useful addition or a gimmick. Are there any thoughts on this from you guys?

Thanks in advance.

This reply from Navigon makes me doubt that it will be released this week Sad

"thank you for contacting the Navigon support team.

Unfortunately the upgrade still has a few bugs in it which will ned to be fixed first. Once the update will be released again it will be announced on our homepage.

If you have further questions in the meantime, do not hesitate to contact us again."
Really hoped that it would be available for my trip to Reading next week, as that would have been a great time to test.

Manuals are still availabe at the ftp, the link to the list of all language versions is:

ftp://support:support@ftp1.navigon.com/download/manuals/navigon8310

Well at least it's now possible to access the manuals again. For a while Navigon had the links accidently pointed at the 7310 manuals.

Well I hope the rumour on the german forum isn't true that Navigon won't release the upgrade until a certain number of the 8310 units have actually shipped. Let's hope that's just a rumour! Or Navigon will yet again sucessfully upset all the 8110 customers who seem to get a raw deal compared to 7210 and lower models. Wink

I've just had a reply from Navigon that the 8110 upgrade should be available within the next two weeks, probaly just in time for me to have already left for France.

Following my query about the £/€ pricing, they also seem to have reduced the UK price from £69.99 to a staggering £69.95 - who says the Germans have no sense of humour? But the support team have also just said they will have another word with their marketing people.

I was in Wales last weekend and found out that the navigon 8110 cannot say Welsh Name places. I bet they don't have that problem in Europe.

It's so close.... Navigon Fresh now lists the update. However it just links to the store but the store hasn't been updated.
Q2 2009 maps are out though and at 2gb in size it's worth downloading the maps now in anticipation of the update.

At spanish shop is available NICE!!

Don't buy too soon. Just had a personalized code for £20 off the upgrade price.
I would imagine everyone will be getting one.
I suspected it would be released soon as it seems people who only just brought a 8110 were able to download last night for free.
We just had to wait for the shop to get updated.
