Forgot to mention Spashscreens

Download a picture you like edit it in your photo software to include your name and phone number, repace the splash.bmp inyour go and you have a personilised go which is harder for a robber to pass on.
If u r a real crawler like me use a picture of the wife

Hi, once you have the data.check file on your computer u r nearly there.
Connect your go to the computer and open the files. find the data.check file on the go and rename it olddata.check. Copy the data.check file onto your go and Robert is your mam's brother.
There is no need to open the data.check file on your computer.
dont forget to assign the correct sound to your poi

Hi...I'm getting a "Path Too Deep" error on my tomtom 700...when copying the file across

any ideas?

I think it refers to the nested folders being too many, or the String Length of the Folder Structure.

Like C:\abc\def\ghi\jkl\mno\pqr\gobbledegook.

The PC has to store it, in a buffer, as a String and there is not enough room. This happens if you have long names for Files and/or Folders (a throw back

to the old days of 8.3 file names) although I've never seen that actual error message.

I've just found this thread and tried to scan it all but it's very long and I apologise if I've missed an answer to this question:

I'd like a set of alert sounds that are nice and loud (I see that's been a problem in the past) and that includes both some straightforward generic 'boings' and 'bells' and 'ding dongs' etc., as well as some safety camera warnings: I'm not too worried about details of what sort of camera (Gatso, specs, etc.), but a set including a simple "Speed Camera" warning, and some speed-specific ones ("Speed Camera 30", "Speed Camera 40", "Speed Camera 60" etc.) would be great.

PalmoOS device
App version 5.120 (5200)

Thanks for any help,

Nick Goldman
