I have an original Start, bought in 2010 that was, until April6th, working perfectly. It still navigated but no time, which is one of the key things I need, to know when I am expecting to arrive where I am going.
Thanks to these forums I have installed a patched version of 9.541 in my Start and, amazingly, the time is now correct. I have made 2 journeys of total 20 miles and all seems well. Why on earth cannot TomTom do what they say and actually release it. I went on TT home and all I got was a much older Navcore.
But, again thanks to these forums, it is a better outcome, because I have got the latest UK & ROI map and got that going, so now all the local roads are more or less correct (it's only ever more or less because TT insist on certain errors near here than have been fixed in older maps but have reappeared - that's another story).
I have been playing with the emulations. Obviously "Start" and "Self" work but don't give any more functions than it had when new. Most of what I tried fail to run, mut I found that X40 works. Of course lots of the feayres in X40 are not supported by the hardware, but it looks like I now have ALG and more options of warnings - a full menu indeed and not the simplified Start menu.
Thankyou to all for all that you are doing to help us out where TT left off.
I hope someone who is also still running an ancient Start TT can benefit as I have.
And what are you talking about from orgine the Start already has ALG, IQ routes and TTS
Good that it still works allright but TT left off is not correct of course. Are you really expected live time use.
You said it yourself the device is from 2010 (9 years old). So every year it still works is a bonus. That you have the latest map is only becourse somebody bought the map and handed the meta code for the community.
