New TomTom Home versions available

There's no necessity to login, and never was. However TTHome always suggests to login, but you can simply refuse by closing this window.
As for "forcing to update navcore" - nothing changed, so follow advices in TomTom Tutorials & Discussions section

Unfortunately you did get me wrong. I was talking about the unwanted update of the TomTom Home version from version 2.9.2.2837 to version 2.9.3.
This update is happening as soon as I start TomTomHome version 2.9.2.2837. And a fact is that I have to login (since TT Home version 2.9.3.) when I want to get mapshare and quickgps information updates. So I was not talking about "navcore update" but about TomTom Home version update.
Sorry, I thought that my English is not that hard to understand.

You are correct, 2.9.2 now automatically starts to d/l 2.9.3 which insists on login before any updates.

DO NOT accept (close TTHome before update) then:-

Navigate to: C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\xul

Using Notepad, Wordpad or another text editor, edit the file in xul called application.ini as follows:

In the line which reads 'Version=2.X.X.XXXX' (matching the version you have installed), modify the number to read '3.x.x.xxxx'

That way TTHome will already think you have latest version.

Ah, glad I read this before trying to update mapshares etc.

Many thanks biggerdave for the advice re the .ini file.

My TThome is now on 3.9.9.9999, which seems to work.

Just hope I haven't overdone it with the version number!

Until they release a v4 you'll be fine.
