I travel around alot and add new customers to a POI category funnily enough called Customers.

When I do this the road details come up in the screen, but if I try to move the curser to the beginning it deletes everything already on the line. I have resorted to adding the customer name to the end, but would much prefer to see the name first without me having to note down all the road details and enter everything again.

Has anyone got a way around this?

Cheers

I've never found one , and it drives me mad too.
I complained to TT about it once or twice, but it was in a list of several suggestions, and they never took any of them up. Crying or Very sad

I'm using TT ONE v.1.

When I Navigate to an address for a new customer I save the destination as a POI in the category Customer.

The TT automatically fills the street details in the form of "5 Speedcamera Avenue, Speedsville". What I want to do is put the customers name at the front of the street details, without deleting any of the detail.

At the moment I have to either add the customers name at the end of the street address or if I put it at the front I also have to enter the street details myself.

The reason I want the customer at the front is because I can have lot of customers with the same characters in their full details and I can't normally see the right one as the details are off the screen when searching for them.

Excuse the long winded reply, but I hope that helps.

Cheers

That is a reasonable request but at the moment the only backspace is a destructive one.

The only way to be able to do that is to put the name at the end on the Device.

Then copying the File to the PC and manually editing the data in POIEdit.

Save the Edited File, and copy back to the Device.
