App 7.221 (8572/071121) OS:2318 ( is this the Firmware version ??)
GPS v1.21,Boot 5.4106
Map: North_America_2GB v710.1584
Language: English
I have a few questions.
Tomplayer: has anyone produced a video movie help file so you can watch
the steps to install it on either the internal drive
or external SD card. I currently have it working
on an exteral 2GB card buy unzipping Tomplayer to a external SD card.
That's all I did, but would like not to
have to boot off the card just to run it then
have to re-boot without the SD external card
to use the naviagation. It would be nice to choose
an ICON from the display and run Tomplayer or Nav.
I have seen install instructions written so many times
yet it's still unclear to me how to do it.
External SD card: What's the largest card I can use?
I read 4GB to read and write and 8GB read only (with my firmware)
With latest firmware 8GB read and write.
External SD: Can I run TOMTOM on an external SD card?
I would like to have Tomplayer and TOMTOM
available at the same time.
There so cheap I can buy an 8GB for less than $20.
If I screw something up I can always go back to
my internal.
Firmware: 7.221: I got the 720 for xmas and right away installed
Home software. Tom Tom stated I had the latest
maps. Someone told me my maps are a year old
they have new ones. Why didn't I get informed
new maps where available? I understand newer maps
have been out.
I also understand if I upgrade my firmware I will loose
the FM transmitter. No way do I want that to
happen! Will I not be able to get new maps in
the future with 7.221 firmware??
720 mods: I have heard there is a 720-->9xx mod.
Can someone talk a bit about that and how
complicated the mod is. What new features?
The only other thing I have done is in Windows Explorer copy
the complete TOMTOM drive to my laptop.
Thanks
Ken
