Hi all.
Ive just turned ttn3 back on after being off for about 10 mins and it has returned to the state it was when first installed Sad

The wired tt gps was not connected to my 2210 at the time the battery was well charged and tt was the only program affected .The only way I could retieve my favs ect was to restore from Sprite BU premium edition (Phew) Any idea's why this happened in the fist place as this is not the first time it's done it?
cheers
dave

You have switched your Pocket PC off exactly at the moment when TomTom was updating its preferences file, resulting in that file becoming invalid. Happens very rarely, and the best way to avoid it is to switch your Pocket PC off when you are no longer moving.

I had problems with an Ipaq 3850, and this kept happening. The simple solution is to save your favourites as a POI file. They don't get lost then. I have one for Family, one for work, etc.

Regards,

Steve
