New TT Home Version

But that's only MHO

There is a big difference between fixing a function issue, such as xr6falcon has, and having personal preferences as you describe in post 14.

I was only pointing out that there are in fact several differences in the way Home acts.
And of course you're right, if Home crashes it usually indicates that something went wrong with the installation.
Uninstalling and a clean install should fix such problems.
I also noticed that with the old Home version I can choose between the new and the old Loquendo voices.

I can do this with this new version of TT Home.

I have just had my home updated to 2.8.3.2499. On connecting my Go 730, as well as the map share file, there is a 55 MB file as an important update. It has a default tick, so I cannot change it or download my mapshare without first installing this.
Has anyone downloaded this? Will it try and automatically update my navcore etc?

If you would have been more specific we wuld know and not just guess that Home offered you the 9.400 Navcore.
The solution can be found in the thread for the 9.400 NC.

Hi Downunder35m, I was being as specific as I could. The tick box did not sub categorise what would be downloaded or updated. I did not know whether or not it would offer me the 9.400 navcore presumably until after it had installed it. I was trying to acertain whether anyone else had downloaded this file and for it to have the effect of 'unpatching' everything.

Now I know that it will update my Navcore, I will have a look at the thread that you kindly pointed me to .

Cheers

I guess you will like this new Navcore.

1. TT Home explains exactly that 9.400 is what is to be downloaded!! Screen shots available upon request.

2. To prevent TT Home from downloading & installing Navcore 9.400
Open the ttgo.bif file with Notepad.
Replace lines 9 & 10 with these:
ApplicationVersionVersionNumber=9400
ApplicationVersion=851694.1
Save this change by clicking "File" in the upper left corner of windows explorer, then "Save as" ttgo.bak. At this point, there is only a ttgo.bak file in the root, no ttgo.bif.
Disconnect & reboot. Now you will have a ttgo.bak, a ttgo.bif & a ttgo.ori file in the root & no TT Home upgrade to Navcore 9.400.

Then the TomTom Home complains "you have an invalid version of ..." in "An error has occured"

How do I get rid of this notification?

A temporary solution: close the error advisory message & use TT Home as you normally would.

Your TT device is a ??

Hi tendriver, I would quite like to see the screenshots. Is this after you have commenced the download, as I dont remember seeing any files. I'm not at home at the moment so I can't check.

I dont know whether to download this or not. I dont use the Tomtom speedcams or Live, and only really use it for mapshare updates.

Apart from the cosmetics, is there any benefit to it?

It is now the official Navcore for most devices, but if you dont like it you don't have to install.
It won't affect your subsciptions unless you say no at the start for the information sharing, same for MS and Quick fix.

Hi tendriver,

Remember me from the other forum? I've invited you a coffee if you have a chance to passby DC.

They are 920T x 3 (navcore SE 9.26 & 9.40) and a 720 (navcore 9.101.

I modified one as you sugessted and replace the version # in application.ini in the tomtom Home to the recent one so I can uncheck the force update official navcore.

I do remember. Thanx for the reminder. Like you, after the .bak fix, I also got the wrong navcore message. after 2 or 3 times, it stopped popping up. It was like 9.400 was so new, that TT Home didn't know about it.
