Newbie with HX4700+TomTom 3,3.07 update won't run

Wrightyrs

Hiya everyone,

have been studying this forum for a while while deciding what to purcgase etc.

went for a HX4700 and TomTom Navigator 3 in a bundle.
having read on this site i have been trying to update my TTN 3 to the 3.07 update,i have downloaded the update but it won't run and open the TTN install wizard.

any clues as to what i might be doing wrong?

many thanks in advance and for a great forum.

Alex

Alex,

have you downloaded the 3.07 update from the TomTom site? If so, did you download the EXE or the ZIP version?

Would you like to confirm it's integrity? The file size is 3910 KB or 4003328 bytes

What happens when you run this on your PC?

do you know what md5 is? You can calculate a checksum of the binary file

the MD5 value is

ttnupd307.exe 96B432436AADBE786C361814E58F5B1B

Please clear your browser cache and re-download the file. Sounds to me as if it is corrupted, and that's why the installer won't start.

It may also be a good idea to do a virus check on your computer.

Back again!!!

am trying to upload the speed camera info and a few other POI's from POIedit from this site.

when in POIedit i have highlighted the POI's i require but when i save them they don't go into saved section so hence won't load onto my SD Card.

my PDA(HX4700)is in its cradle and connected to ActiveSync,and the SD card is in a reader connected to another USB port,could this be the reason why it won't load to the card?
it also won't let the AutoUpdate update when i request it,but i think i have worked out from reading on here that that is because of my proxy settings or firewall.

any pointers much appreciated

Down load the POI files or camera dbase etc into a file on the internet connected computer then unzip the folders you need and use the "copy" (control c) and "paste" (control v) to copy the items of interest into the PDA folder where the TT3 map you are using is resident (via active sync and explorer - this works for me, I really can't be bothered with the syncro options offered, all this is explaind at some length on this site so you souldn't have too much trouble - Mike
