tomtom 910 - missing POI's

[fartpastry]

I have just tried to update the speedcam files on my 910. All of the files have been correctly copied to the tomtom, but none of them appear as POI's - the POI list only shows the default items and I cannot enable any of the pocketgpsworld files.

I'm way short of the 100 POI limit and have no other POI's installed.

Any ideas whats wrong??

How many POIs have you got installed? And are you sure you have copied the files correctly?

I have nothing other than the standard, preinstalled POI's and as far as I can tell all of the files have been correctly copied to the map directory.

Connect to PC
CLOSE TomTom Home if it starts up
Open Windows Explorer/My Computer
Find the 910 - it will be showing as a Removable Drive or Mass storage device
Browse to the map folder
Check for files with an .ov2 extension (if you can't see them, enable the correct view in Tools/Folder Options/View tab/UN-tick "Hide extensions for known file types)
Are the PocketGPS ones there? Whatever version of the download you opted for, they should all start with "pocketgps_uk_"
Are there less than 100 ov2 files in total?

Yep, all the files are there and there are less than 100. I've been donig this every month since I got my first go 500 about 2 years ago and have never had this problem before.

I've tried restoring from a known good back-up, but the problem remains.

Just spent an hour mucking about with the 910. Fortuntaley I took a full disk image of it when I first got it out of the box. I've deleted and replaced from the image all of the files in the 910's root direcory and the entire western/eastern europe folder. That has cured the problem - after updating the sys files with tt home, all is now as it should be again.

Still don't understand what went wrong and why!
