I recently realized that my GO 720 was no longer speaking to me. Sometimes I turn the voice off, even though I still play MP3 via the FM, and also use the Bluetooth handsfree.
But now travelling to CT from JFK on a business trip I really wanted the directions read to me and could not for the life of me get the 720 to cooperate. I checked and rechecked all the settings, tried switching voices, but nothing worked. When I used the Test button for the different voices I just got ... silence.
Finally I popped out the SD car and guess what - all is well. It turns out I must have performed the upgrade to 7.481 onto my SD card. When I switched the unit on, all appears to be well. The display has the new changes (vertical bars, etc). However a few things (such as speaking, VR) are broken.
When I pop the SD and restart - I am back with a working TT. I even get the reboot drums and confirmation that my phone has been detected. and one big bonus - it is running at v7.221 (whoo hoo!).
Anyone know whether installing an upgrade onto the SD card is even vaguely legit?
I am also conflicted about re-upgrading to 7.481 on the internal memory. Is restoring a backup guaranteed to get me back to the same state if 7.481 turns out to be a nightmare for me?
