Tom-Tom 6

Has anyone come accross this before? After a reinstall following a hard reset TT6 will not save my home or favourites. I've tried a number of removes and reinstalls and each time its the same thing, no saving my home or favourites. I'm thinking that there may be a registry tweak to point the app towards wherever they are saved, but which registry entry and where are they saved?

Hope someone can help, I'm not too bothered about the Home thing (Altzheimer's hasn't set in yet so I can remember where I live!) but it's a pain in the bum having to go through the find address thang each time I need to go to places I go infrequently but repeatedly, and takes a lot of the hassle out driving if I don't have to drive and find my way at the same time.

Nearly forgot, on an O2 XDA Mini S (HTC Wizard)

Thanks

Hi,

If I understand your problem correctly when you reinstall TT6 it doesn't have your original favourites stored anymore?

You will need to add them again, but to avoid that in future once you have added them go to the folder where your map is stored (e.g. Storage Card/Western Europe) and copy the file called mapsettings.cfg to your PC.

Store that file safely so you can copy it back into the map folder again if you need to reload TT6 or hard reset.

The other way your post reads is that once you hard reset and install TT6, you are unable to add any favourites at all!? Not had that before, but you could try removing the mapsettings.cfg file from your device whilst TT6 is not running (keep it safe on your PC so you can put it back again if it doesn't work!) Start TT6 and it should create a new mapsettings.cfg file and fingers crossed, will allow you to add new favourites!

Hope that helps - let me know how you get on!

:-)

Thank you very much Zippyioa!

It was the latter case, I had performed a hard reset and couldn't retain any favourites. I did as you said and bingo I now have a home set and favourites which stay on my device. Good advice! thanks again

You are welcome - I'm glad it worked :rolleyes:

When you have added all your favourites again don't forget to take a copy of the mapsettings.cfg file and keep it safe on your PC. Then if you have to hard reset or reinstall TT6 again you can copy it back into the maps folder overwriting the new blank mapsettings.cfg file and as if by magic, all your favourites should be there again without you having to input them again!

Good Call!

Definitely worth doing, particularly if you have favourites that were added by using 'current GPS'.

I had them all loaded, but now I'm having to put a close location which I'll have to update when I next visit that particular site.

Hi. Just joined and posting this from my brand new MDA Compact lll. :) I searched google and found my answer here. Just want to thank zippyioa for the solution as I had the same problem with navigator 6 on this mda. All working now and I've saved a copy of the cfg to my pc. Cheers!
