Hey folks,
haven't posted in a while. I have a question about Navcore 8 but I'll save it for later. My question here is regarding satellite lock.
Back in late Apr/early May, I remember TT was giving some good and some bad QuickGPSFix files. The bad one would literally take my TT a few mins before satellite lock. Also, I had to change my HOME location to the hotel otherwise, it'll think I'm 4,000+ kms away and try to lock onto a satellite from there.(and thus take 1 hour to lock to the satellite every time my TT crashed and I had to do a hard reset).
Anyway, I got a "good" file (i.e. it'd lock within seconds) and I haven't updated since early May. I've had my TT sit inside the luggage for 2 weeks and I took it out today and once I was outside, it locked within seconds without any QuickGPSFix updates... Amazing!
Of course given that it's been in the luggage for the past month and a bit, I haven't really connected it to HOME since early May so I don't have the new updates (and I've read that the early updates weren't exactly bug-free). Also one of the reasons for not connecting to HOME was the really good QuickGPSFix files that I didn't want to give up.
Anyway, so is it time to connect to HOME? should I update the app? I've heard about Itinerary and compass issues. Is it necessary for the new maps? Or should I jsut stick with Navcore 7 for now and just update the maps (when the new ones come out)??
