Everything OK now, thanks.

Re. the graphics: Rasoft do a neat little package for editing bitmaps & jpegs on your handheld, have a look if you haven't seen it.

Only problem I had is that I had downloaded the McDonalds POI about an hour earlier for the POI listsings prior to downloading POIEdit. When I checked TT for the POIs that were available i had two versions - one (first download) called McDonalds and the second (POIEdit download) called McDonalds_Midlands. I hadn't changed the name of either - was there a name change for this file at PocketGPS in the hour or so between download of two files? (18:46 to 20:56). Same also occurred for Little Chef but I first loaded that back in April.

Dave - have emailed a Little Chef bitmap to you.

Yep, I've been finding issues with the POI's we have on the POI page. Mainly because a lot have spaces in them, and fail to download correctly with POI-Edit. I've changed these in the sync, and there are also some where I've tried to make it a little bit more descriptive, so there will be some although identical in the Sync Service and the POI page, they may have slightly different names. I've thought about renaming these on the POI page, but this may confuse anyone who's downloaded them in the past.

Thanks for the Little Chef bitmap, I'll add that in shortly.

Hmm,

I have no probs with you getting a little chef bitmap from elsewhere, but I did include it in the original zip file I sent you.

I had a couple of personal queries regarding it and I thought you had omitted it for 'Copyright' issues

I expect RobMob's will be just as good

Nick

Its probably the same one - if I recall you kindly sent me the LC file some time back.

I was going to strip all copyrighted bitmaps from the POI's, but had a change of decision. We do have to watch regarding copyright issues, Ordnance Survey have been the biggest problem we've experienced. Technically the images or logos may be copyright of these companies, but I doubt that the relevant companies are going to complain about them being used, and re-thinking this we have to be pragmatic. I'm sure the companies won't mind, especially when it helps people locate their premises, so I've decided to leave/re-add these back in. If we do get any copyright issues coming out of this in the future then I may remove them, but we'll see how it goes. At the end of the day, we're helping people get there so they can spend money with those companies, so I doubt they'll mind too much.

Could still be the SD Card. Some programs have a more robust way of dealing with SD card errors (more retries e.g. TTN2 install program).

So browsing will work.

One way to know for sure is try to copy a large file from the SD card to the PC (one of the TTN2 database files is always a good choice)

If this fails it is a good sign of SD card probs

I don't think so because it works OK without this error until I undock and redock the iPAQ with POIEdit still open. Its a POIEdit/Activesync problem I believe. Anyway it does work now I appreciate the little nuances of POIEdit on my system.
