Apparently it was in V5 and 6.

If TT drop this now it's nice of them to let us know.

Hello
Upgraded my go 500 which works fine but no sign of Mapshare. Any idea where I find it?
Thanks

| What version of Map have you got installed, it needs to be v675 or newer for the Map Share to function - Mike |

| I purchased it from the TomTom site on Friday as a download so it should be current. |

Tap the sat strength meter (lower Right corner) followed by the version number, this will list the active map version number - what is it?
You might have downloaded the new map but it might not be installed or being used by the device so it is worth checking - Mike |

Found the problem
It had retained the old menu with the POI Capture software on it.
I deleted tomtom.mnu and it created a new menu with mapshare on it.

It works badly and intermittently for a few seconds and then locks up requiring a reset. The hack to feed phonecalls audio via the line out to your car speakers no longer works..... 
and I have to upgrade my maps to use Mapshare (tm)...... note sure which of the Western & Central European map to select there are 2 recommented by TT home got the TT910 
At this point I am not sure if I should put anymore money into this TT or go and find a more reliable product....... The Tomtom 910 has been a comedy of errors from the start...... it would appear to be in Tomtoms customer support you need to have a 'pencil and a pulse' Its a genuine dissapointment as It has the potential to be a great product. The replacement TT920 I fear will be worse if the TT720 is any indication.
Sorry Rant over...... just fed up with string of C*&kups, The mount, buggy firmware, TMC...... the loss of SDK at V7.xx and now V7.16 which for me is a retrograde step.

I am with you on this one - had exactly the same issues with my handsfree and the advice from TT support - re install 6.XX. I am now waiting for a reply as to what about the loss of some of the great new features of version 7 - like the fm transmitter that i have just ordered a new mount to use!!!
Its a pity because there are some nice touches to the latest version |

| The FM transmitter mount worked with the x10 devices running version 6,5x software, if you have rolled back to version 6 software what version is it you have installed - Mike |

I also found that if I try to "Navigate to POIs near me" and have more then 24 POIs in a user POI category then it only shows the first 24 POIs nearest to me. The others are there (found with POIs near a city X) but can't be accessed. The Find button is restricted to the 24 as is the graphical POI browser. |
Are you sure about that?
I too find the way it only shows the nearest 24 POIs in the on-screen list really annoying (it used to be the nearest 100), but for me the "Find" button WILL search the entire list of entries in that POI category. |

Which combination? Version 7 and the GO 700? Well their very own web pages say version 7 does support the GO 700, see here.

Thanks Darren, I have just been back to them and they now accept that it should work but on going through the menu pages with them they say that the pages I have differ from what they should be, POI Capture and cameras seem to be causing conflict and I should uninstall them . Your thoughts ???

I had to remove all 3rd party apps, including POI Capture to get the menus working properly on my 910.
Apparently SDK apps are no longer supported in V7  |

Uninstall POI capture and the SDK Support files. Our cameras work fine under v7 though.
