So Where' the Update Already!?

[legaleye3000]

So where's the software update that's supposed to fix all these little bugs ALL OVER THE PLACE....? And where's Home 2.0 already!? Are they sleeping over there at TomTom?

Anyone have any info?

Home 2.0 is out already. As soon as I installed my disc it upgraded me to the new Home 2.0. It works well and even allows you to control the device from the computer when you are working on a route or trying something new.

As for bugs. What problems are you having? Mine works flawlessly except for my cellular phone is not compatible so the data connection is flakey and my Tim Horton POIs are a little off (not their fault). Just curious as mine is perfect and doesn't have any of the handfree issues people speak of.

I don't think they would release any updates till after 920 is released. That would just make sense sinse most likely both 720 and 920 will use the same firmware.

You can download home 2.0 by checking for upgrades on your older tomtom home or use this link http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/application/releases/v2_0_0_370_win.exe

2.0 is officially out? For MAC? I'm using 1.6 for MAC and I believe that is the latest one...

Mine works great, too. Yes, some POIs are off a bit, but with MapShare you can fix them for everyone.

Hmm, there's no HOME 2.0 for me I have a ONE "Z" serial

I have a TT720, Ive paired my phone with the TT720 about 100 times, it works for a few minutes then fails later. I need to be one inch from the TT720 microphone in order for the other end to hear me, anything further, and the other side gets 10 percent of what I said. The bluetooth phone feature does not work.
my info:
Tomtom 720
Serial # M65297Bxxxxx
G0720(4M00.002)
Device: xxxxx xxxxx
App Version 7.010 (8290/070711) OS:2618


*** Ive noticed that the tomtom 720 on the website now has an extra hole next to the existing microphone hole. Used to be one hole, now there are two.

This doesnt work for me. When I click on 'Operate my device' or whatever that icon in HomeV2 is called, I get told Home needs to download a file. Click ok and it comes back saying file is not available. Tried it over and over but never gets the mysterious file. Anyone know what file it is looking for and where to get it?

This is from Support in North America regarding my issues with xulrunner errors in dl mapshares & Operate My Go

------------------------------------------------------------------

First completely exit out of HOME by closing the window then right-clicking the icon in the system tray and selecting Exit. Then go to C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\xul\plugins\emulator\navcore and delete all the files there. If you have Vista, also go to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\TomTom\HOME\Profiles\RANDOMSTRING\emulator and delete the navcore directory if there is any there. Then open HOME again and click Operate My GO. A emulator DLL will be downloaded that will prevent this feature from crashing.

This fix is for the crash when using the Operate My GO feature, and may not help for the crash when downloading Map Share. That should be fixed when HOME 2.1 is released October 25.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The fix for Operate My Go did work.

Thanks mate, I'll try that!

tundra914,

posting your Device ID is not a good idea! SN does not matter, but Device ID is a different story altogether.

If I was a mod I would edit it out of your post. I'm not so I can't. You should!

Thanks Spook catching that. I edited the post.

A solution for xulrunner error

Posted on another forum from a poster who finally got a knowledgable support person.

With TomTom on and in the dock, load up TomTom Home software (if not already loaded).

In the top menu of TomTom Home, select Preferences-->Tom Tom Mapshare-->check BOTH boxes you see there and click on 'Done'.

The next time you are in the Update screen, dl mapshare changes again. It'll work. (did for me and other posters).

Apparently a recent mapshare download was corrupt and prevented future downloads.

Hope this helps...
