Clearing out my TOMTOM one V3

I have just got a new go 630 and want to clear out my old TOMTOM One V3 to sell on.

So I have a couple of questions

1. How do I clear out all my favourites ( could they be transferred to my go 630 )

2. How do I reset my Home to be blank

Thanks

Iain

Delete the file mapsettings.cfg in your map folder.

Thanks for that. I'll go in and remove it from each map I have.

Will that reset the HOME location as well ?

Yes. It will be "greyed out" and need to be set-up by the new owner.

You might also want to check the contents of the ttgo.bif file which is in the root of the device, right click it and select Open/ with NotePad some information gets saved in there as well IIRC - Mike

I think it only contains some personal info if you've used a phone to connect directly to TT servers. The rest is Device data.

ttgo.bif also seems to hold your email address and home location.... Crying or Very sad

Is there no factory reset on these units?

On my TT ONE there is a file called

tthome.bif

that also contains your email address if present on the root directory of your device.

Thanks for all your pointers. I'll have a go this evening.

If a unit is to be 'sold on', is it OK to delete the two files ttgo.bif and tthome.bif, or should they be left in place, and just edited to remove any personal information?

Thanks.

I never had to delete those files.
All I removed was the pocketgps files and the mapsettings.cfg files in the map folders.
