TT510 upgraded to 7.160 now POI corruption

BodgerBaz

Hi,

I've upgraded to software version 7.160 and have updated my POIs from POIedit. What I've now noticed is that on the map the POIs look fine but if you go into Browse Map | Options | POI | Show POI Category on Map there appears to be some corruption on some downloaded POIs.

It looks like a language / screen driver corruption problem (see below)

Anyone come across this?

Sorry, can't get the blasted IMG /IMG to work!!

Mines the same. The file names for the PGPS cameras on the TT have corrupted to something like *qX-, *epX-, etc. The only ones affected though seem to be those where I have an associated voice file (.ogg) as the pmobile ane euro ones are OK. However all the cameras I passed today seemed to give a warning as before so everything seems to be working.When I connect to the computer, the filenames appear with their normal names.

Also as part of the so called upgrade, the auto on/off switching when the 12v power supply is turned off does not now happen. Seems to me its a downgrade rather than an upgrade.
Which file do I need to copy from my backup to get back to the previous version?

Also how do you do a screen dump from the TT to the computer so I can show you all what it looks like.

Hi Bodger,
Thanks for the help but it does not seem to work on mine. Mine is a 500.

Thanks to Mike Alders help, I have now managed to obtain a screendump showing typical corrupted filenames

mine did the same after updating my 910 to 7.16
Resolved by copying the backed up poi's back onto my 910

Looks like the latest version is being messed up by the .INF files that POIedit produces alongside the OV2 and BMP files. I've deleted the .INFs and all seems fine.

If I get time to find out what these are, I'll let you all know.

They store the time of the last sync, so only consequence of deleting those files is that POIEdit will reload all files instead of just the ones that need syncing.

Worth reporting to TomTom though.

I've not followed this too closely, but...
1. I see it mentioned that it is POIs from POIEdit that this is happening with and
2. I see brian's picture with what looks like the PGPSW camera files (going by the icons)

Just thought I'd double check that everyone realises that POIEdit does'nt synchronise with the PGPSW database any more. If it still downloads anything at all, it will be a very old version.

Sorry, to go off-topic a bit. Smile

Don't have any .inf files and have not used Poiedit for some time. To answer Andy, yes they are PGPS files but only those with associated .ogg files. The ones without are OK, and when I look at the files on my comluter the file names are all normal. Despite this they still work!
