A Bug or Dud GO710

Hi, I've just got a GO710. I have set all the user definable menu options then added some new voices only to find all the definable options have re-set. This has happened a couple of times, but only when I seem to make a change like add a voice, POI etc. Is this a bug or a dud?

So does it happen each time you connect to the PC? Wink

I would suspect that the MapSetting.cfg File, in the Map Folder, has a Read-only Attribute set. Right Click the File and check it's Properties.

Or ..... it could be the Switch on the side of the SD Card.

Check those 2 items and hopefully it will work.

I have only noticed it when changing something like a POI for example. I will have to wait til next week to check out if just connecting it will cause the problem. I have checked the file you mentioned (on the backup) and it isnt read only. I've not touched the SD card so it is as supplied, again I cant check that til next week.
Thanks for your help....

Which actual "definable options" are you talking about?

If it is the "warn when near" settings for POIs that are getting lost, then it is a long-standing bug that no-one has ever got to the bottom of.
Some people lose them a lot, others occasionally, others never.
It happens to me occasionally, more often if I connect to the PC or use Home, but certainly not every time.

The things that go missing are e.g. Show POI on the map, the task bar options. It also resets so that you have to tell it what language, left / right, qwerty or otherwise keyboard options.

Ahh, not the same problem then.

I believe that those options are held in the settings.dat File in the Root of the Device.

It could be that the File is Read-only.

Are you using the V7.162 Software? You could try re-installing it. There might be a problem with one of the files.
