Has this happened to anyone else?

[RickB]

I docked my 720 today and the auto update screen refreshed showing two available downloads:

1) Some kind of Software or firmware update (approx 24 megs)
2) A QuickGPSFix update

Because I was about to leave the house, I declined the update(s) and undocked.

When I got back home and plugged it back in, the only update available was the QuickGPSFix, but nothing else.

I didn't look closely at the mysterious 24 meg download before unplugging, so I can't describe it any better. Whatever it was, its no longer being displayed.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks!

Here's the stats on my unit:

Version = 2.1.2.121
Device Code = XXXXXXXXXX
HOME info: DLL Version: 2.1.121
Connected device: "TomTom GO 720"
App 7.220 (8571/040301) OS:1000
GPS v 1.21, boot 1.0012
NA Map v 710.1584

The latest update is 7.221 so what you saw was the update for that.
There are a small amount of members saying that HOME tells them they have the latest updates when they have the App 7.220.

Okay, thats making sense. Any ideas where I go from here? Or do I just wait until the next update comes along and I will jump to that one!

Perhaps this "bug" is what's being fixed in the current release! Wouldn't that be ironic!

Thanks for the info.

NB: Just found this on the TomTom support site:

"List of new features and improvements

Version 7.221
(TomTom GO 720/920 only)

• Support for premium TMC service ‘InfoBlue’ in Italy (requires a TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic receiver)
• Other minor improvements "

I manually downloaded and installed 7.221.

So all is well now, but I still think that there's a problem with disappearing updates!

And yes, Home continues to reports the older 7.220.

So two apparent "bugs" for them to fix!

Also, I think it has stopped my ASR tweak from working now! :-(

Thanks for the help.

How's THIS for a weird one?

Using HOME, my firmware shows 7.220.

When out of the dock, and reviewing firmware level on the TT itself, firmware level shows 7.221.

What's up with that?

It's a known bug in TomTom Home's software. Will always show the outdated version. The unit's firmware on the TT is accurate.

You may have to be logged in and/or change your country......

Let me know if that works.

Maybe I am confused...but the only thing there is the Home application and no firmware...
