Upgraded TomTom GO700 to TomTom v6

Posted by tom January 29th, 2007

Just upgraded my TomTom GO 700 to version 6 of the software. Mac users are now supported, thank god … so it should be pretty straightforward … you think! Well TomTom Home continuously crashed, only after removing /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/SIMBL.bundle (by temporarily copying it to my Desktop) did TomTom Home work stable. I’ll take it for a ride tomorrow, we’ll see!
