A poster in a US forum reports that Support told them a patch for 2.4 will be released on Tuesday to 'fix' the issue with mapshares.
We'll see ....................

Just done upgrade! Worked 1st time! map Western Europe 7.20 upgraded to 8.10! Took 40mins to download (Tiscali 8mb 6.5mb actual) then took 40mins to install!
Upgrade Service £39.80
Map -75% Discount £19.90
Total £59.70
Well pleased! Get 4 map updates for under £60! Costs more for latest map! TT got this right! Cant wait to try lane guidance and see how iq routes work! Only issue no map share! But that seems to go offline at drop of a pin! Thanks Mike for the heads up on this! Was gonna get a map 2 weeks back! Held off on your advice! I'm sure i'm with many on here to say a big THANK YOU! |

Mike
I have the same TT as you, although I was upgrading from 7.015 maps, but now have exactly the same setting as you, that is App 8.010, maps Western_europe v810.1907 yet when i try to turn on the ALG it says my map or map version is not compatible with Lane Guidance. Yet this was one of the reasons I upgraded as I have heard it worked fine.
Did your work or am I do something wrong to prevent ALG working?
Likewise, the IQ routing - does that work and should I be seeing a bar on the right hand side of the screen all the time, or just certain times?
Thanks

So how is this fix going to restore all MY Mapshares that haven't been "accepted" by TomTom yet?
Home v2.4 has removed ALL my Mapshares.
I can restore a previous backup, but I've just done dozens of POI corrections in the last week or two since my last backup. |

Andy, apparently the support guy told the poster the 'fix' will allow for retrieving the mapshares. That's all I know at this point.

Apologies - tried a reset and cannot see anything, so did you have to go and activate ALG in the preferences menu or just use it anyway? Likewise, how did you get the demo to run since it's been ages since I've ever used the demo option?

The same thing happened to me after installation. Through HOME it said that WE map 810 did not support ALG, however on a programmed and driven route with Lane Guidance 'Enabled' on TT, it seemed to work to a reasonable degree of accuracy, however......... |
Hi there - how did you enable Lane Guidance - as when I do it, it still says it is not compatible with the maps - is this what your TT says?
Thanks

When you are enabling the Lane Assist make sure you do this directly on the device and NOT while connected to Home running the TomTom in virtual mode via the PC.
If the device is running v8,010 software and a v810 map then it will work, note not all junctions are covered by the Lane Assist/ Reality view, on a recent trip to London I would say 10 to 15% of the junctions popped up with reality view, quite a few major junctions do nothing - Mike |

Hi Mike
When I am doing it on the device, it still says ALG is not compatible with these maps, but these are all the latest.
I think it is something to do with the fact I was running maps 7.05 since I bought the unit, but I have always upgraded the system to the latest version. Thus the system was running 8.010 system and 7.05 maps - and thus ALG was visible as an option but would not work.
I then paid for the updated maps yesterday, and downloaded, jumping from 7.05 to the latest Western Europe (£30 for map, £40 quid for the quarterly updates) but still ALG says it is not available due to map incompatability.
I have now, this morning, reverted back to software version 7.480, which then ignored the Europe may completey (it was on the system but not visible) and stuck me with the Canary Islands only.
I've now updated via Home to 7.481, and still the Euopean map is not vislble. Gotta love this...
What now? Any thoughts...? |

| I'm now doing a restore to a previous version via Home and will see what that brings. Why can this never be easy....? |

Was it possible you had both the old AND new maps installed to the device? - if this is the case you would need to go to Change Preferences/ Manage Maps/ Switch Map and select the newer map from the presented list.
To find out what map a device is using you tap the sat strength meter followed by the version box, a screen will appear listing the full version number of both the application and the active map - Mike |
