Can anyone shed any light into this.
I was in Brighton and wanted to find a restaurant, selected restaurants in the Tomtom POI and it froze and the Tomtom software shut down!

It keeps doing it too!

Help me please!

It is possible that the POI file is corrupt. Yesterday, A friend had the petrol stations missing and crashed when 'navigating to' one.

Fortunately he had a backup copy and replaced the file with the original one. Bingo - it worked. I don't know how it got corrupted, but recopying it fixed the problem.

If that is the cause of your problem, over-write poi.dat in your map directory wih a copy of the original.
