Navcore 8 Upgrade for Older Devices Released

Hi Calomax
I agree with everything that you say. I keep the switch pressed for about 5 seconds and I am up and running shortly after. It has never bothered me and like you I feel that it is a safety thingy to stop the device from switching on accidentally.

I know that my two hour journey will take me 5 seconds longer than the instantaneous switch, but what the hell, whats five seconds.

I seem to have messed up my 520T trying to get ASR working - which it still isn't!

Does anyone have a working link to the 8.010 firmware as the rapidshare ones all seem to fail now. I have a copy of it on my home dekstop pc but I am currently away with just my laptop.

Thanks in advance.

for those that bemoan the switch on delay! some form of explanation in the case of my One XL's quick start guide (v.7x):

I've seen most of you have installed the Navcore V8 in your 720.

I tried to follow the links or do it via Tomtom home, but I don't think it is available anymore.

Do you still have the CAB files?

Can you send it to me somehow?

Thanks in advance

Unless the compass feature is properly re-instated then I am not going to update my One 3rd edition. I'm glad I read this thread before I blindly installed from Home. Smile

Hi gugaboy
I missed the Navcore 8 update too. If the files were still available I would probably install it but I am quite willing to wait for the official update

Having updated to 8.010 the quicker switch on was pretty much the only benefit for me(never bothered with the compass anyway).However,i went on a short break last weekend and i was able to use the traffic monitoring for the first time.Previously it either did'nt update at all or if it did the info was less than reliable. On the return home i became stuck in a jam due to an accident that had happened a few minutes earlier.When the Tom Tom got wind of it i was redirected to backtrack at an upcoming roundabout adding 35 mins to my arrival time.I followed the new route when i finally got to the roundabout(5 mins for about 25 yards.) I travelled about 10 miles and then the Tom Tom updated again prompting me re route and re join the road that was blocked,having travelled past the blockage.This i did and the road was now clear.The overall addition to my 3 hour initial travel time was only 15 mins saving me heaven knows how much time waiting in the jam.Well impressed with it.
One minor irritation,might not be due to the update but i never noticed it before,was on a long road(49 miles) every 3 or 4 miles it kept saying "stay on road for 47 miles" then "stay on road for 43 miles" etc etc.

Hi All,

I updated my fathers TT1 3rd edition via home late Sunday night and it has installed Navcore 8.010, also it was the first time it had been connected to a PC, or more importantly TT Home it upgraded the map to v715.1689.

He was actually bought the unit as a Christmas present, so it is over 30 days old, I updated the map under "Use latest Map Guarantee" he has not been updated to the latest map, I think we are on v8 now. How do Tomtom now that his unit has not been sitting on a shelf and only just bought??

The latest maps for that device are the v720 only the x30 devices have been supplied with version 8 maps, take up the 715/ 720 issue with TomTom support (0845 161 0009) - Mike

Mike am i right in thinking that Home should allow the 720 maps through LMG even though SDM has already used it for one update.
I thought i read somewhere that you could use it as many times as you wanted in those thirty days SINCE first connection, or is it only to check for an update as many times?

LMG is valid for 30 days, but can only be used for one update - so, if a device is loaded with v710 maps and a user updates to v715 via LMG, they can't then update again to v720.

Of course, in practice, most users seem to struggle to get even one update from TomTom via LMG
