Impressive. I've never gotten that long... Oh well. It's not really a major problem.

You say NOT to avoid toll roads and then are upset when it routes you on them??
Do not avoid = choose toll roads! |
He does indeed mis-type in his follow up mate, where he wrongly says "it still bloody would go there".
But his original query makes it clear, he meant its NOT navigating via toll-roads even though he has changed all settings to permit it to.
He mis-typed in second message. But his first points out what he actually meant.
Hope this is helpful.
INSTANT EDIT:
Oops - just realised I was reading the bottom of page 13, and never saw there was a Page 14 where Dennis etc had already answered this.
Simple plain mistake, this one, please disregard all. |

|
|
My experience of the 7.480 update was that:
The audiobooks did not work, MP3s did.
When travelling on my standard commute I usually turn the sound off as then I can listen to the audio books without being interrupted by navigation instructions and poi warnings. Now when I turn on the audio (book or mp3) the sound is automatically switched on.
Very annoying change, as to get what I had before I have to clear the route, so I don't get any traffic reports, and switch off the poi warnings.
Thanks Oldboy I will revert to 7.221.
I did a backup, but used Home to do it and it will not restore saying I must have removed a SD card, which clearly I have not. What a completely rubbish "feature".
Cheers
Paul

I just got no maps when I tried the 7480 update, and a reset did nothing.
Restored a previous version from backup, and all is well again.  |

Hi Folks, thanks for the interest, I'm sorry I confused the issue with my typing mistake, I was using the laptop in the car in bright sunshine and couldn't see the screen too well so I missed the typo.
I really DID want to use the toll road, the 720 would NOT route via the toll road despite trying the different toll road preferences. (but the Go300 would happily route via the toll road??) |

The folders MUST be opened and the contents transferred to the corresponding folder on the device, please don't simply overwrite the folders or you will cause a load of problems.
The LoquendoTTS folder needs to be opened followed by the lib folder then put the single file in the LoquendoTTS/lib folder on the device - Mike |
Many Thanks  - I am now back to 7.221 |

My TomTom ONE v1 (App 7.162, map UK and RoI v710.1571), doesn't choose the toll road either when routing that way. It just thinks it's quicker to go the M6 route. And who's to say it's wrong, depending on the time of day? Certainly not maps.google.co.uk. That also routes via the M6. If you drag the route to the toll road, it reckons the distance is the same, but adds one minute to the journey time. |

| Another TomTom response, telling me to manually backup the device, format it, and then restore everything again. Sceptical that this would accomplish anything at all, I did as told anyway... and surprise surprise, the problems remain. |

I wonder if I have another fault with 7.480? On my 920T, since "up"grading, I have noticed that when I first switch on my remote control, when it locks on, the 920 map does a quick half turn 90 degrees, then back on line again. It's only when I first switch the remote on - it disconnects when the 920 is switched off and has to have a fresh switch on next time. It's happened several times today.

My 520 died with a currupted flash memory R.I.P! Got my money back from Tesco all £200 and trundled off to comet gave them £169 for a 720 oh joy! then realised because i foolishly paid for the TT speed camera database (will convert after expirery  ) i phoned TT AGAIN to transfer to the 720! I was freely told by the agent refuse the auto update and wait for new one! i asked when and he replied a couple of weeks max! light at the end of tunnel maybe!
Backup taken and saved on laptop before i did anything!
And sticking with app.7.221 till update been fully tested |

Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support with regards to your GO 520
Please do not even try to update to version 7.480 because it has been RECALLED from the website until at least Wednesday next week, when it should be re released. |

And Darren doesn't seem to have received anything back from TT yet.

| I think now it's got to the point where TT cant hide the issues with 7.480! I also think it depends on who you speak to as to there understanding of the situation! |

| I think that TT must have supplied the software for Terminal 5. Possibly v7.480!!!! |
