ForumHi people !
I own a GO 740 LIVE with Western and Central Europe 2GB map (memory card), with 8.371 navcore.
Does this map is supposed to work without any problem, keeping my 8.371 navcore:
Europe_900_4601
?
Moreover, "Europe" map seems to cover much more that "Western and Central Europe" map: isn't it ?
Regards

You can check the detailed coverage of a map on the TT website (purchase map), or through Home.
No need to actually buy anything just to check ;)
As you can see in our map chart it work with your selection, but you might want to think of using a V9 Navcore as well.
If you make a backup using Windows Explorer you can always go back to your current setup.

Downunder35m,
before to post, I already check with TTH, but it does not propose me anything: the reason should be navcore 8.x.
For many reason (slower, buggy and now no more Google search for Live services), I do not want to use navcore 9.x.
Each time I give a try (each new navcore plublication), it's a shame, and go back to navcore 8.x, I re-discover the joy having a brand quick and new GPS.
You know everyting now ;)

Well in that case you got the right answer.
Good to see that someone still values a V8 Navcore.

You do realise that currently there is no meta code available?
But it should work with the meta and meta code for the 900 Truck map, meaning you need to edit the meta code for the Truck map to match the meta of the 4601 ;)

1. You answer is in the name of the 2 maps .
2. TT Home should offer you 900.XXXX maps that are compatible with a 8.3XX navcore.
3. Navcore 9.465 is the current official navcore for a GO 740. You should not lose any Live Services using it. This navcore is neither "slow" nor "buggy".

Tendriver,
1) yes for sure: just for a confirmation
2) TTH give me only 3 small country with 900 maps, no major or update for installed map. TTH should but don't ;)
3) I can understand navcore 9 is not so slow on recent GPS model, but it is on a GO 740 (or mine and my brother one are defected, both ??): you have to wait longer pressing buttons, you have to wait longer to calculate roads, samething when you go away from calculated roads. Moving on the map, driving the car, the screen is scrolling scaccaded (steps), and may crash much more often.
Samething with or without POIs, day and night between navcore 8 and 9 (I test again and again each time a new navcore 9.x go out for my Tomtom).
With the latest navocre 9, you loose Google Search in Live Services: it has been replaced with a tomtom crap (for France only ??): doing the same search on both, you found nothing or crap with the new tomtom search, and with google search, lot of coherent results.
That's my personal and brother feedbacks for real testings all of that.
So, what could be wrong ?
What else could we test/modify ?

I have both the 9.430 and the 9.485 in different versions available.
All reported to work with X40 devices.
Home only offers you maps that match what you paid for, for other maps you have to select the "add new map" function.
Delays in navigation or the lack of response in the menu is mostly caused by the default setting in a new setup - you have to deselect the POI's shown on the map screen.
Can't make any useful comments on the Live search as I have no device to test.
Again: you can install and test what you like, with a working backup you are back where you started in a few minutes.

1. OK
2. Downunder has addressed this issue.
3. I have 9.465 on a GO X20 & I don't have ANY of the issues that you list here!!
4. I can't argue this point. I am aware that TT has replaced Google with "LocalSearch".
That's my personal feedback for real testings all of that.

Hi all
I had to go with 9.465, for using live services and "local search" (replace "google search").
Navcore 9.465 is now less worse thant previsou 9.x navcore.
This latest navcore is a bit slower than 8.371 one, but no choice for having "local search" working and used newest map.
It's ok and close for me
Thanks
