Map Version 810 Available for Go 720

[marty45714]

I see this available in the Map store in the TomTom Home application. Any difference between the data in this map and the data in version 720?
Thanks!

in addition to typical map updates, it looks like they opened up the IQ routes functionality to the x20 models as well.

I fax them again my proof of purchase, why the warranty is so complicated . My warranty end in 4 days( thusday. I wrote the date on my fax yesterday.

I hope I will get it, because, they added the street I wanted on the 720 NA but they just dont match ( the position) with the real street

It was the last day of my warranty today and good news :

Havent noticed allot of difference in V810. Possibly just some minor mapping upgrades ?

I have come across more lane assist images over the last week or so:

Your LMG is still valid if you have already downloaded an update but are still within 30 day window. Contact Customer Servicew and they will add the updated map to your account

Nico IS with TomTom and he was pointing out that you only get one kick at the can with a map upgrade within the 30 days. If you used it to, say, go from the installed 7.10 to the upgraded 7.20, then you can't use the LMG within 30 days to go higher than the 7.20, whether that be 7.25 or 8.10.

At least I think that's what he was saying.....

Are those screen graphics new in v810? Or have the 720's (& 920's) always looked like that? And can you control the color schemes?
Makes my ALG-less ONE look flat by comparison.


Nuclear-Powered, eh?

 

[dhn]

No, the x20's did not always show the static images. Only the combo of firmware 8.01 and map 8.10 allow it on the x20's and the colour scheme to my knowledge is not changeable.

 

[Ricochet]

Ah. I was hoping for some customization possibilities (looking at those "towns" in the distance)...guess the code which generates those statics much be locked down, hunh?

 

[ChillyCat]

Those "screenies" gonna pretty much look the same in all devices/all map versions.

I usually use the bar in vertical mode (not default horizontal orientation) with the 2D map view (not the default 3D on-the-road orientation). That seems to maximize visible map area.

...but is that preference going to mess up Advanced Lane Guidance?

Has any one out there put both the v8.10 Western and Central Europe Map and the v8.10 North America Map on to the TOMTOM GO 920 ? I see the downloads for both are 1.9G ok once extracted to the TOMTOM they may be different but will they both fit on the internal 4G Flash memory or does it need the external SD card??

Thanks

My understanding is that you do NOT see the ALG arrows when the status bar is vertical, only when it is horizontal.

 

[Bama Rambler]

I like what I see, I'm just not sure I'm ready to plunk down $130 for it. Of course it'll get the better of me and I'll be ordered it before long.

 

[dhn]

You and me both...........

It will work. I've seen it on my coworker's 930. He and I also use the same 2D mode and bar in vertical mode. His unit will switch to this image:

It will switch back to his 2D mode when it reaches its limit.

Roy, You will most likely need another SD card. You can place one set of maps to the SD card. What I have done is just placed the Europe maps in my hard drive. If I go to Europe, I can switch the map from my unit and hard drive.

What exactly is the +8 MIN ???

Once again, another feature I haven't used/seen

That shows up when you've told your TomTom you want to arrive at a specific time. +8 MIN shows you're going to arrive 8 minutes ahead of schedule.

Have installed map 8.10 on 7.20 with 8.010 SW

Hello,

I have now installed the 8.10 Western Europe map on a 720T with 8.010 SW
and have tried the Advanced Lane Assistance on Stockholm, Sweden.

From what I could tell so far, it's mainly the E4/Essingeleden that is covered.
I tried the E18 but did not show, but as soon as I came up on E4 it started
to show the ALA screens as seen in previous posts.

BUT, I found one place where it should have shown but didn't so it seems like
it is still a work in progress and that it needs to be updated further to get
it more covered.

I also managed to confirm that IQ-Routes seems to be available
on 8.010 firmware + 8.10 maps on at least European 720 model.
(See screenshots below)

Advanced Lane Assistance

IQ-Routes (Preferences / Planning Preferences / "IQ-Routes" button at bottom left corner.)

And also this is new when IQ-Routes enabled and you pre-plan a route.
