Mike, I got an email on friday from "real people" at TT, and one of the things they said was:

The A40 was blocked temporarily on what appeared to be sound advice from the BBC. It turned out they were wrong and the road was unblocked again shortly after. Apologies all round.

This was TTs response when I was having problems:

Could you please try the following:

Within TomTom HOME click on Preferences \ TomTom MapShare \ Remove corrections \ and remove the corrections.

This will delete the existing mapshare files. Next time you subscribes to mapshare, the system will create new and working mapshare files.

Doing this should solve most of the issues.


By the time I received that my MapShare had started behaving. Rolling Eyes

Whether their solution works, I have no idea. Smile


Well - it certainly seems to have worked for me - I hadn't thought to remove the previous map and had just updated. This DID allow me to make my own corrections BUT since removing the exisiting map and then installing the later version afresh I immediatly got a correction download. AND all through TomTom Home (Version 2.1)

I also had this problem after I upgraded to the latest maps on my 910.

I've just removed the map and then reinstalled it again and it then downloaded 0.4Mb of mapshare updates.

Is there a way of seenig what they are?

HELP!!

I thought I'd have to correct a few things like missing POIs/OGGs but I'm confused by what else I've found :

MapSettings.cfg is now much smaller. Is this where my missing favourites are ?

Western_and_Central_Europe.mid
Western_and_Central_Europe.mms
are in my backup but not on my 910. Do I need them? What are they?

What are these new items on the 910 ? :

CA7310.ov2 - CA9935.ov2
DeletedPoi.dat
ServerLiineIndex.dat
ServerNameIndex.dat


Any ideas guys? Confused

p.s. In Home my previous versions of maps aren't there. Is this a setting or does it just replace them? It seems I don't have a downgrade path apart from selecting files out of an old manual backup and as demonstrated above, I wouldn't know which ones.

MapSettings.cfg is where favourites are stored

Western_and_Central_Europe.mid is part of tomtoms security to prevent maps being copied. It lives in the map folder.

Western_and_Central_Europe.mms I don't have this file on my machine and I don't know what it does. If you put it in the map folder it won't cause any problems.

CA7310.ov2 - CA9935.ov2
DeletedPoi.dat
ServerLiineIndex.dat
ServerNameIndex.dat are all mapshare files.

The MID File is no longer used. In V7 Maps the DCT File is the Activation File that locks the Map to the Device.

CAxxxx.OV2 Files are the Downloaded POIs that you have chosen to accept. They integrate with the built-in POIs, but count towards the maximum number of POIs you can use.

That's perfect.

Many thanks. Cool


Now everything seems to be working. I've even got my own custom cursor.

It's the little things that matter eh? Very Happy
