I've got a problem with this update. I updated my TomTom 520 the manual way i.e. downloaded the files and dragged and dropped them onto the sd card in the tomtom and told windows to overwrite any files with the same name.

All worked fine and my tomtom device is telling me I have version 8.10. Hooked upto home and clicked on 'show contents of my Go' and it is recognising it at 7.481! I have tried deleting the application, but Home just offers me 7.481! 8.10 is definitely installed on the device but home wont recognise it.

Any advice welcomed.

Had a bit more time to look at the changes with 8.010 on my 520. All that I can see, apart from the menu additions I have posted before are that the TomTom POI icons have changed slightly to a more 'continental' look. For example, the Post Office has changed from an envelope where you can see the fold over flap, to a rectangular one with a stamp on it. They have also all changed from Blue on White to Black on White - no big deal at all. Voice navigation still works and the PGPS Speed Cameras with the voice warnings are still spot on, no change.

Start up is very fast and satellite acquisition takes a much shorter time than with 7.221, 7.480 and 7.481

The Tyre icon and application has remains in Home and the Simple Altimerter application and icons (from www.ilpiola.it/roberto/TomTom ) are still on the last menu page of the 520 and are still active.

Overall I'm very happy and look forward to getting the v8 maps and trying out the IP Routing.

Hey Mike, did you manage to check out the removal of itinerary planning from the one V3 that we spoke about in the other thread?

I have a tomtom one v3 when I updated to version 8 software it states cannot use my maps on this device, any one else had this problem.

I downloaded via tomtom home

I just updated to 8.10 with no trouble once I'd read the posts that said I had to do it in 2 stages, First to v7.481 then to v8.10. It all seems excellent. I've even got voice recognition back which had stopped working before. the only thing is it doesn't seem to understand french names very well. Perhaps it's the accent as it seems fine on English names.

It now turns on almost instantly and I think it gets a lock quicker. I'm not really sure as it wasn't slow before. When I turned it on it said the requested voice wasn't available but I just had to select it again. First time I tried Traffic it said there was a server fault but 2nd time of asking it was fine.

I haven't had chance to try it on the road yet but the demos seem to be fine.

TT720 + GPRS Traffic. Upgraded and all fine. My only complaint ......

Bring back the old compass.... What were TomTom thinking? Sad

Maybe a campaign of bombarding TomTom support with e-mail requests for it back may be a start.

I know about the 'digital' version, but a pictorial version is much easier to glance at and read.
