PDA backup issue TT6

i done a google search for backup issues on PDA's running TT6 - found 1 or 2 places that are having similar issues.

basically: if i install and run TT6 on my PDA, exit and then try and do a full backup to SD card, it will fail on the "navigator.exe" file. every single time.

i never had an issue with TT5 - always backed up perfectly, it's just an issue with the latest TT6 .exe file.

i'm running an acer N35.

also, 2 other questions:
1) the main reason im trying to get backup working is that TT seems to store the 'favorites' in ROM memory. so if the battery goes completely flat, i loose my contacts. same as if i have todo a hardreset for whatever reason, i'll loose my favorites. if there is a way to backup my 'favorites' without doing a full backup of the PDA, then that would be great.
2) is the n35 powerful enough to hand tt6? it just seems to take a while to update the screen. not so much an issue on the motorway etc, but more around town with twisty and lots of corners. i found it can take around 200-300yards before it updates my location properly.
its not a signal issue. using an external high-gain ariel that always reports full bars in TT.

I don't know about the other questions you raised, but in TT5 the Favourites were store in the Map Folder in a File called Map_Name.cfg

In TT6 it stored in a File called MapSettings.cfg, also in the Map Folder.

well, that worked. thanks Smile

it's a long-term backup fix till TT sort out the full PDA backup issue. obviously a bug in TT6 or something cuz it was fine with TT5.

The Aver N35 has a 266MHz Processor: I believe the recommended minimum is about 350MHz.

350mhz+ eh? that could very well explain why it's slow to update!! never thought about processor speed really.

time to dig out me copy of tt5...

I've got TT 6.010 on my N35 and have no problems backing up/restoring to the SD card or with the PC using Activesync.

The Tomtom website says that the N35 is supported with TT6
