Thanks Boki,

You have helped me a lot and I really appreciate it. I used TT Go today on a couple of short local drives (and a little highway drive too). I really like it. It's a simple clean layout, and the voice navigation is very precise with directions and street name. Nice.

Anyways.... the part you mentioned about copying the OBB file after installation but before launching is a new piece of info (from an order of steps perspective). The original instructions on the post (and the instructions in the zip) mention the OBB step at the end - after downloading the maps. Maybe the order of this step being at the end is what is causing the issue with "Newer Update Available" message - since the OBB is probably downloading from the server while downloading the maps.

Since it was mentioned on this threat that the OBB is not needed, I never copied the OBB file. I will look at which folder location it downloaded into and make a mental note (before uninstalling everything again). In this way, I can compare the downloaded location vs. the location given in the instruction. Then I will follow the same steps I did before. But this time, after installing but before launching, I will do the Android SD card permissions again and copy the OBB file to the correct location in the internal memory. I might have to create the Android\data\obb folder first before copying the OBB file inside. I don't believe my head unit had an OBB directory folder when I checked. My unit has Android\data\then the com.xxxx.xxxx files). Afterwards, I will reboot, then launch and begin downloading the maps again (for 20-25 minutes again).

Maybe this will stop the "Newer Update" message, and the 45-day trial message that pops-up and goes away (that has me a little worried).

***EDIT***

I checked my Android 9 Head Unit before uninstalling TT Go. I searched the internal memory and do not see any folder with the OBB file (specific to TT Go). I never copied it, since its was mentioned in this thread that it is not needed (but you say it is). I guess it never downloaded and installed from the server like you described above.

The instructions say to copy the OBB file to this folder: Android\obb\com.tomtom.gplay.navapp\ "copy OBB file here"
You say to copy it to this folder: Android\data\obb\ "copy OBB file here" - did you intend to also include the "\com.tomtom.gplay.navapp" portion in the path?
Either way, one is still different from the other - because one path is Android\obb while the other is Android\data\obb
Which one is the correct full path?

***END EDIT***

Thanks again, and I will keep you posted on how it goes.
