Firstly I?d like to say what a polite and courteous forum this is :)
I travel across Europe regularly and my 910 has done it?s job reasonably well, apart from going up in smoke once and the hard disk completely failing on another occasion.
After using cracked maps on my device for many years, I decided to take the plunge and Navcore 8.412.1236 as I wanted lane guidance as I often make a mistake or two on my long journeys due to confusion at motorway junctions etc.
Updating Navcore 8.412.1236 was relatively straight forward and almost everything is working perfectly including voice recognition, TTS and lane guidance etc.
However it does have a few hiccups and questions which I?d like to check with other users.
1) After resetting the device (e.g. after removing from PC dock) the screen corrupts for 10 seconds or so until my ?This device belong to:? screen appears and then behaves perfectly.
2) When connecting the PC via the dock, it just sits on the dock and waits for a while; reboots and then connects to the computer without asking whether I wish to connect.
3) When sitting on the windscreen dock and I switch off the ignition as expected it switches of after the countdown reaches 0.
On turning the ignition back on the screen stays blank for about 40 seconds, reboots and after the normal screen corruption has gone behaves normally until switched off again.
4) Normal whinging from TomTom Home as the Navcore doesn?t match the unit "You have an invalid version of TomTom application installed on your TomTom device. To use HOME you need to install the correct version of the TomTom application" after hitting ok or closing the window it happily carries on installing map share updates etc.
As expected the RF remote no longer works, but would a Bluetooth remote from a newer TomTom work e.g. x30 or x40 ?
Is there a patched Navcore 8.412.1236, setconfig.txt or Outsourced.8412 configuration that fixes any of these bugs.
I suspect I?ll just have to live with them, but you can?t complain as it?s free :)
TA everso :)
