TomTom 5 on a Mio168 - not saving Favorites and Home address

Hi

I hope someone can help a novice user out there.

I have purchased a Mio168 with TomTom 5 on it. (second hand) I can not seem to get in contact with the seller at present.

But all works fine but when I enter my home address or Favorites these state they are store and are until I exit from TomTom. When I go back in the addess is always one in Banbury ( I guess that was where the previous user was from) and no favorites.

It seems that the information is just being stored in memory not on the storage card or main disk

I am sure it is a setting somewhere. I have reloaded the application but no help there.

Can someone please help :D

Try this,

Connect to PC, Move the map across to the pc and then remove the read only attribute. Then move across again and you should be able to save the home locations and the favourites. Wink

To show that I am a novic, exacly which map file?

all the files in Great-Britian.map directory or
the zip directory - Great_Britian.Postal file

Also How do I get them onto the storage card?

With TomTom closed use file explorer to naviagate to the GB map folder and delete the file 'Great-Britain-Map.cfg'. Run Tom Tom and all should be well. The reason for this fault is the cfg file picks up a read only attrib from somewhere so no changes are saved. Deleting it forces TomTom to re-create it correctly. You can also use Active Sync to transfer the file to your PC to remove the read only attrib and put it back.
