Good afternoon.

I upgraded my TomTom to the latest operating system; realised it didn't work; and then downgraded back to the original (Sorry, I obviously wasn't paying enough attention here.).

I then downloaded the latest map.

As a result of all this, I have lost the spoken speed camera warnings (How many are there? Getting on for 80?) that I had previously set up one at a time.

I do have a full (Windows) backup. So, which files should I restore, please, so as not to spend an hour reinstalling the spoken warnings manually?

I do hope it is possible.

Many thanks.

Philip

I've replied to this one as it's the first by 2 minutes Wink

As far as I know, and in my experience, you have to set the spoken warnings up again when you upgrade.

Probably not the answer you wanted, sorry!

Sorry about the duplicated question; using this site today is like wading through glue.

You are quite right; it's not the answer I wanted. So this work has to be redone for every map upgrade?

Aren't TomTom wonderful !

Try restoring your mapsettings.cfg file from your windows backup that's the normal way to get the warnings back. (Its within the map folder)

I first of all rename my existing mapserttings.cfg file to something like oldmapsettings.cfg and then copy and paste over the original one from the backup.

This will also restore any favorites and recently visited locations if you have them.

If anything goes wrong you can delete the copied one and rename the original again.

Thanks for the tip EricWB, but it didn't work.

I had 2 backups: one of them merely restored the factory settings and the other caused the unit to continually reboot itself.

I have now gone back to the file I had renamed and have entered the warnings manually.

It makes me reluctant to upgrade the maps, as I am not sure there are many changes on them.

I am going to France on Monday, to a place where a number of roundabouts were built about 3 years ago. My previous map didn't know about them; it will be interesting to see whether the new map does.

Odd - this has always worked for me for many years.

Of course the 9.x NavCore is "supposed" to retain the settings between map upgrades. We will see!

I took up TomTom's offer of 4 map upgrades for £35:80, downloaded the latest map, and can confirm that all my PGPSW cameras and spoken warnings AND favourites have been retained. TomTom just gets better and better!

There is a cure for the re-booting I just cant remember what it is keep looking someone will post it.

Just remembered it maybe if you can keep it going for long enough enter something as a favourite I think that's the fix.

How do people find these things? I guess it has something to do with the mapsettings.cfg file being where favourites are kept and if you mange to access and update it all becomes well.

You have to connect the unit to your PC and use Home to Operate My GO. Then add a favourite using Home. That can fix the rebooting problem. You can delete be Favourite later.
