Missing favourites when changing maps

[trsche]

I'm hoping for help with a strange issue I have with changing maps on Navigator 5.
I'm losing any favourites that were set along with the home position.
Has anyone seen this problem before, or can anyone suggest a cure for this happening please.
Tied in with this, can anyone tell me the location used to store any favourites that are set.
I am assuming at present they would be on the storage card somewhere along with the maps.
Any help and suggestions would be gratefully received.

The Home point set is retained in the .cfg file for whatever map you were using.
TomTom assumes if you are changing maps that the 'Home' will not be on the map so uses a new .cfg file for each map. I would presume also that by changing map that your 'favourites' would also not be on that map. For instance if changing from GB map to Benelux for instance then the favs and home locations could not be shown anyway.
Or is it that you have purchase the plus map. Then try copying and changing the .cfg file in the Great_Britain-map folder to the new map folder and rename it the same name as the folder i.e Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg. You will need to use ActiveSync or a card reader to see the file extensions.
If I am wrong about this I am sure the 'Mods' will put us both right

Very interesting reply.
Thanks Mystery, I shall be checking out the cfg connection.
I had a feeling that home and favourite locations would logically be kept and linked with each map.
