My Gaffer has been given a TomTom One V2 with UK/ROI V6.6 (or thereabouts!) Application & Mapping, and I'd love to upgrade it to 8.15 Western Europe & add "IQ Routing/Lane Guidance" for him as he hates driving in traffic these days!

I have a set of V8.15.2003 maps which I understands supports IQ/LG, but I'm stumped with:-

1) How do I enable X30 emulation to add these features?

2) Which NavCore & Firmware Package do I need that One V2 can run without lockups, etc?

3) Will the One V2 take a 2GB card needed for the maps?

4) What BootLoader is needed? - All the links seem to have gone again! Does a BootLoader come with the Firmware V8.10 Package? - I have this 38MB file by the way!

I have a copy of the Video Tutorials and TT Home v2.5.1.36 - do I need an earlier version of TT Home to patch files etc?

Many thanks,

Chris Williams

To run that map you need a later Navcore. 8.204 see this post by Johnnyboy. It is a complete dump from a working One v2:
TomTom v8 Firmware and Maps Remember to click Thanks on HIS ( not this post) Bootloader 5.5106 will allow SDH cards of >4GB


you don't patch files with Home . You need a v8 keygen. See post #2

Do they display an icon for you?
I ask because just before the upload fails the message at the bottom of the box says:
(2items remaining) Downloading picture http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/images/attach/ask.gif...
If you type in http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/images/attach/zip.gif you can see an icon of a zip file but ask.gif and rpl.gif are not there.

rytenuff,

You already know that I can't upload attachments. All of the above is EXACTLY the same on my puter.

The ask and rpl files are from the mobile side of thing (used for the calculation of corrupt lock data on nokia phones, you create a ask file then the server / client can convert the ask file to a rpl)

None of these files are needed in the GPS Section but i have had a word with the super mods / admin of GsmHosting and they are trying to sort this attachment problem

Thanks

Thanks BU, but do you see the icons or do they have a red x cross through them for you too. The fact that it always fails to upload just when that message loads is significant I feel. So please tell me are the icons visible for you?

Hello there, I have got a tomtom 520 with Navcore 8.300 and UK&IRE Map V815.2003, Everything is fine but i have noticed that when i added some new POI's from TomTom Home then the feature which when you navigate to.. POI.. POI Near You.. Search any POI... does not work, For example if i do Asda then it says POI not found but if i go under the supermarket section of POI's instead of doing the search by poi button then i can navigate to an Asda, which is strange, now even the original POI's do not come up if searched under the Search By POI button. Should the new POI's be put into the Map folder or a seperate poi folder in the root? The only thing i can think of is re-installing a map so atleast hopefully the original POI's come in the search by POI or one thing i have not done is I have not put the Home .dll file in my computer files, is this why?, i am now also not getting any map correction updates or Quick GPS fixes for the past 3-4 days. I thought before doing anything i should ask you guys. Any suggesstion or advice would be greatful?

Thanks alot,

Mo

I can't help you with the POIs as I don't have that device or Navcore. Someone else hopefully will.
TomTom have said they were going to cut down on the updates to once a week. I think their servers are getting too much of a hit.

I get daily Quick GPS fixes & weekly Map Correction updates. Unless you have a "patched" Navcore, you don't need a "patched" HOME.dll file.

have you enabled your poi's in the manage poi section under prefs

[rytenuff]

BU I would REALLY appreciate an answer. Do you see these icons or a red x next to them?

[THEPHONEJUNKY]

When i click on manage attachments i get


ask, (with red cross) bmp , doc , gif , jpe , jpeg , jpg , pdf , png , pds , rpl (with red cross) txt , xls , and zip

i have no probs uploading text ,rar , or zip as these are the only ones i use but all are listed as valid file extensions so i can only think that the red cross is because there is no picture to display.

What have they done to the compass? Before I 'up'graded to navcore 8 I had a compass arrow with straight line distance to destination. Now I have a compass arrow pointing north and a direction of travel bearing on the status bar. Very useful for cross ocean navigation but useless on the roads. I've gone through the settings but it seems there are no other options.
Any ideas?
Other than blasting emails at TT complaining, which I will do if someone on here doesn't call me 'thicko' at points me to how to change it.

Hi everyone,
I have read right through this thread over 2 days & tried to take in as much as I can, but you have to admit there is a lot to take in for someone that is new to this stuff.

I have a TT One v2 and have tried the above with a v815.2003 map that I have. Howeve all I get is the start up screen ….the unit won’t go past this.

So at present I’m running
Navcore v8.001 Go X10
Map UK & ROI v8.10.1870

Could anyone advise me what is the best v8 software & map to use on my unit please?

Many thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to answer that. We now know that is not the problem. It seemed to be relevant because it always fails just after that appears on screen.

I have successfully installed BU's Go_One_8.10 Navcore and added Usa_and_Canada_815_2022 to my ONE 125 v.8.014. The only problem so far is that once I disconnect from TT Home and device reboots and then if I turn it off it doesn't turn on. I get white screen and that is it. I can see that brightness changes to low once I try to shut it down just like on normal screen. It starts when you reboot it by pushing the button on for 15 seconds and works fine untill next shut down. Any suggestions why it does that?
Thanks in advance.
