is your memory card write protected?
do you use the exit application button when finished with tomtom?

Hi johnboy1888,
 to the forum! 
Does your config file (*.cfg in your map folder) have a property of "Read Only"?

It should be in the map folder on your storage card.

Hi johnboy1888,
Copy the Great_Britain-Map.cfg file (from your map folder) to your PC, remove the Read-only property from the Great_Britain-Map.cfg file.
Copy the Great_Britain-Map.cfg from your PC back to the map folder on your PDA.
You may want to make a backup of the Great_Britain-Map.cfg before you change it - just in case.
Regards,

Did you delete the original file on the PDA before trying to copy the new file from PC.
If you didn't when you try to copy from the PC it won't overwrite it because of the Read Only on the original file.
