I can use the Recorded Voices though.

Snap wrote:I tried the TT properly yesterday. It all worked really well, maps all good, speed cameras highlighted etc...! YAY!!!

One thing though, when i to 'Navigate to', then 'Postcode', i put the postage in and it only regonised the first part, i then had to put in the street name myself e.g say the post code i want to go to is 'tw1 2rr', i'd put that in and in the menu i'd have to choose 'tw1', i'd then have to put in the street name for the TT to recognise where i want to go to.

Is that problem down to the Navcore im using? If so, can i use another Navcore so i dont have that problem?

Thanks.

2. You wrote 'to the root of your tomtom'. Do you mean unzip it whilst the TT is connected to my computer?

I've seen it mentioned a few times but what is the 'root'?

Thanks.

Ok, so ive manage to get the UK & IRE map but....

when i click the autoactivate.exe file the message from the C: window the message says......

TTGO.BIF & TTNAVIGATOR.BIF not found in ROOT directory!!!

Copy Autoactivate.exe into your TomTom device/SD-Card ROOT directory

What should i do?

I have the same device as Snap and have followed the same advice given to Snap so far....

Unfortunately I can't get the TomTom to start up properly. It freezes after the TomTom logo and I have to reset the device. I thought it may have been because I booted prior to running autoactivate, so I ran the exe from the root but I get the same message above that Snap got even though Autoactive.exe is on the root of the SD card.

I've tried re-installing using navcores 8.412.1236 and 8.410.1218, but with the same results.

Anyone have any ideas on where I've gone wrong please? Thanks in advance

For an updated navcore go here: TomTom Automatic Navcore Installation

Select either 8.410 or 8.412. Read the instructions carefully.

I've figured what I've done wrong. I didn't get the latest application update from TomTom Home for my device prior to installing the Navcore
All sorted now, I have to say I'm very impressed with this knowledgeable forum.
Cheers.
