Installing Navcore 9.135 on a Go 940?

Except that unfortunately it did not work with the HD Traffic services on most/all of the x40 series units. Navcore 9.058 was the first 9x Navcore to operate reliably with HD Traffic services on the x40 series units.

You seem to be quite disenchanted with TomTom. May I suggest that you research other brands.

I have just purchased a Garmin 1200T from Amazon both because I wanted to see how TMC Traffic compares with HD Traffic and because
Garmin's maps now cover Iceland whilst TomTom's don't and it was only 59.95GBP

However at the moment TomTom hold patents that mean they have a monopoly on mobile phone movement based HD Traffic and Traffic warnings are one of a Satnav's most important features to me.

I am just rather disappointed and surprised at how many ragged edges TomTom's Navcores have for a company of its apparently prestigious reputation.

I wish you luck with your Garmin.

I will just be running it alongside the TomTom on longer journeys to see which system proves to be the most accurate. I liked the look of the Garmin 1690 but couldn't justify buying another unit with an ongoing annual subscription fee for the traffic information.

You should try the 9.205 navcore it's good and you'll keep the stuff you want. If you don't like it just put your copied files back on your unit and it will be back the way it was. tendriver won't lead you astray.

Which TomTom are you currently running Navcore 9.205 on? Is it a Live unit with HD Traffic? Also which SIM card does your unit have in it? The one in my 940 is type 00.01.04

My concern is with the fact that some v9 Navcores don't work at all with the SIM cards supplied in the x40 series units. Also what about the business with incrementing the bootloader and not being able to reverse this process in some circumstances?

v9.120 seems to be running quite happily on the 750 that I upgraded to it.

Would I gain average speed calculation or trip length recording with the Rider 3 Navcore? Also what about running Joghurt's Height program with this Navcore on a 940?

1. He has a 720.
2. You refer to a SIM card. Don't you mean a Micro SD/SDHC??
3. See 2.
4. That was answered in post 13.
5. NO.
6. Yes.

No I mean the SIM card. Something that the x40 and x50 series units both contain in order to retrieve HD traffic data. In the 940 under Status & Information/Version Information/Network the SIM card Model is reported as 00.01.04 but on a 750 this is reported as 00.01.06_EU This would appear to explain why x40 series units could not connect to HD Traffic under Navcore 9 prior to Navcore 9.058 even though they could retrieve this data under Navcore 8.

5. NO.

I believe the Rider 1 and 2 both had a "Trip Log" and this included "average speed". Has the Trip Log been removed in the Rider 3 firmware or is the function just not supported on a 940 due to the emulation compatibility? The "trip log" function of the Rider Navcores is specifically mentioned by Brevaman in his post at [Please Register or Login to download file]

Also what about the Winding Roads feature of the new Rider 3 Navcore reported over at [Please Register or Login to download file] Is this new routing option likely to also be present when this Navcore is run on a 940?

1. My answer has been NO to this point, because these features are only available with a Rider emulation. If you wish to take a look, load 9.205. Create a setconfig.txt file, open it and type modelid:17. It is a simplified menu.

Is there no way at all to make a 940 emulate the full Rider menus and features when running Navcore 9.205? Obviously I appreciate that if something in the Rider series of TomTom satnavs is reliant on hardware the 940 does not possess then it won't be possible but other than that why should the 940 not be able to emulate the Rider in full when running the same Navcore?

The simplified menu is the full menu.

I install 9.205 in my Go940, I cannot connect to live service now.

I'm trying to go back to 9.058

hello, mate,

a question of your Go940, does the power lost when you "shut" it and left it be?
My Go940 can not stand for even 1 day, what's the problem?
