You won't need to hard reset the device, take a full backup of the unit and the memory card (so you can put version 5 back on later should you want to), remove the TTN 5 application using the remove programs option on the PDA then install version 6 - Mike

Thanks mike I assume that I will have to install sprite back on my SD card to make sure I do not loose any info ,
BTW has anyone checked the difference between Nav 5 And Nav 6 is it worth the extra notes Confused

Thanks

I would use something like Sprite for a reliable back up as you never know when things will go pear shaped with a PDA to be honest, it is rare but it can and does happen.

As for the differences, the custom POI limit has increased from 39 to 100 categories, you can input a destination by Lat/ Long and you get the newer maps, oh and you loose the ability to rotate the screen within the TomTom application this has to be done using the PDA rotae function prior to starting the navigation software, otherwise there is very little difference to be honest - Mike

The web site still sends e-mails out if the options are selected, confirm your profile by looking at the page, is your e-mail address still current and are the check boxes selected for e-mail notification of posts? -

Glad I mentioned that I was not receiving mails from the site , I have 2 mail addresses and the one I use for this site the dam spam filter was taking them out, worth checking if any one else has the same prob , funny really as I have made no adjustments to my profile ..
