Hello all,

I'm having issues trying to install Navcore for my TomTom GO 500.

Whenever I install it, I reset the device and boot up and it hangs at the loading bar. Am I doing something wrong?

I have tried Navcore 9.540.2 Installer and the Universal Navcore Installer 9.510 for GO models (64mb ram).

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Well actually, as far as I know the old GO 500 is a 32 Mb ram device so it's no wonder the 64 Mb would not work.
I would advise to install the 32 Mb 9.510 navcore.

Tried 32mb 9.510, it boots up and then shows me a picture of an SD card with a red cross over it?

Running the .exe from the root of TomTom and then pointing it to the right drive letter but it's giving me:

What is your bootloader

Checking bootloader (the only reliable method)

Enter a device reset 15 sec.

Then turn on the device and hold the start button until you
get info screen. Which bootloader is there

It says:

Bootloader Version 2.18

THat is the reason so you must update the bootloader to 5.5022

Ah - do you know where I can get the bootloader? I've done a forum search and can't see anything obvious.

Place it on an SD card smaller then 2GB.

Getting closer to it working :-D Again, thanks for your help..

So bootloader done, navcore done. I'm getting the message "problem with map - you cannot use this map on this device: US_South_Atlantic-100654". I checked the chart on the maps thread and it says my TT is compatible? Just trying to get a map that shows Florida for my trip in a few weeks!

I suppose you use navcore 9510 from post number 2
The map should be alright.

1) Reset The Device and start it till the announcement "No map found" Or You cannot use this map on this device
--
Copie the chosen map (US South Atlantic 965 7250)
to your SD Card in his own folder.
If you open the map you see the loose files and probably a folder (brand).
Not a map in a map.
--
2) Copy "FastActivate.exe" to your SD Card)

Run "FastActivate.exe".
 
    Select 2 and Done

Brilliant, that's worked.

One last thing if you don't mind - I'm getting a new message "None of the available voices can be used with the current language. You will not hear any spoken instructions." Is there someone where to download the default voice?

What is the current language on the moment ?

Everything is English, if that's what you mean? :-)
