Here is what about shows right now:

App 8.351
64 MB Ram
GPS v1.20
Boot: 5.5120
Map: North_America_2GB - v705.1481

So what should do? What versions of what should i try to use, and is there a place that i can get them? I am very new to Modifying tom tom software like this, though not at all new to computers or device modifications in general, such as routers, and cellphones etc. I don't know how to tell what versions of this and that go together. So far i have used installers for the tom tom files. Thanks for your help! Hope we can worth through this!

1. I upgraded the Navicore using: SE_Navcore.9.205.547817_32mb_devices. The navicore would boot and work just fine with my tom tom and read the original map just fine. I did not check for GPS.

2. I tried to install maps 860 3100 and 860 3101. I used an installer and I would get errors that the map could not be used on my device. I restored from my backup the map directory. The tom tom started up and accepted the old map, and things looked good, but out in my car i see i have the NO GPS signal issues again. Last time i used it it worked, so I restored it completely. Still no GPS out in the car. I drove around for a while probably 5-10 minutes, and i Left it hooked up in the driveway for probably 15-20.

azzuron wrote:Thank you for all your knowledge.
1. It just seems odd to me that originally the TT worked fine, then i did a software update through TTHome, and it stopped after that. I had to goof with system files and write a backup from someone else to fix it. It feels like a bad software install.
2. I actually found a thread on formatting and re-installing completely, So i did that just now, Its going to update back to the versions i provided you earlier. I am taking a 6 hour trip and will be hoping it gets a signal some time along the way, if it does, then ill move forward with your advice. Thank you!

azzuron wrote:Thanks. I dont know what gets into this thing, from what i have heard from another member I might have to delete some files from within Tom Tom home and get it to download a new GPS Quick Fix file or something similar. I am already through my trip, i have an Android phone, so GPS is always in my pocket, i just don't like to tie it up if i can help it especially when i don't have a car charger for it.

Thanks for trying, it is good information i need to know, but i just didnt have enough time to figure out the signal issue before i had to go.

azzuron wrote:Thanks. I am home now, and i have downloaded this QuickGPSFix Update file, and ran it while my tom tom was connected. It looked like it did a few things ,the dates on some files in the ephem folder changed. I have the tom tom plugged into my house power out on my back porch. I guess ill just let it run all day.
