It's a problem with the file called Great-Britain-Map.cfg and it has the Read Only attribute set. This means that you cannot write any changes to it.

If you Copy the file to the PC you can view the attributes by Right Clicking the file and Selecting Properties. Then UN-Tick the Read-Only option and OK out.

Copy the modified file from the PC back to TT5 and when asked if you want to Replace the file, Click Yes.

The .cfg file is in the Map Folder. This is the only file you need to copy. You will need to be able to see file extensions to positivly identify the file.

You will have to delete the cfg file in the Map Folder as Windows might not let you over-write it.

To get over the 'No Maps Found' I believe the correct procedure is to do a soft reset.

my tt5 forgets all home and favourites, as wekk as speed cam alert settings, also hangs on poi capture, i found that it seems to be when i use Kingston 1gb SD card, problem not as prolific with kingston 512mb card, still happens though, and ok when using CF card.

ipaq 2210 and latest tt5 updates

i kept having this problem and found it was due to me removing sd card out of card reader with out closing window first.

And when you exit TT3 or 5, do make sure that it is closed before hitting another program. Also, be sure to exit TT when you have finished using it, ie when you get home. The PDA should not be powered off, BEFORE exiting TT, pretty important I am led to believe.

Thanks for that link

I need to check whwn I turn off then, but I always [or at least I thought I did] shut down the application prior to turning the Ipaq off. I do like the idea of saving favourites into POIs though, that seems to be a sensiible and more robust solution. Must try it.

Just a foot note,

I save all my favourites as poi's when using the dreaded sd card, however, i have now run for 1 week on CF card, saving favourites, poi warnings, and checkpoit, guess what !! not a single data loss or glitch,

the sd cards have now been well and truly formatted for the digicam

I have TT5 running OK on my XDA2i with a 128MB SD card. To enable storage of favourites etc I have write enabled the map file as detailed on this thread.

However, I still can't add or delete POIs on the move. Often I would like to add a new POI or even delete an old camera location. However, I always get an error.

Is the POI stuff held in another file which also needs to be write enabled?

Thanks
