I keep losing both every time I run tom tom, not after a reset by the way!

I would hazard a guess that the .cfg file in the map folder is set to read only. Check by using active sync and see if the properties for that file are greyed out but a tick appears in the read only.

There are two ways to deal with this.

Copy the .cfg file from the map directory to PC change attributes (left click once then right click select properties) and take out the tick on read only then transfer back to PDA.
Check by active sync that the file is no longer read only (i.e there is no greyed out tick in read only)

If that does not work then delete the .cfg file from the map folder. This will be regenerated by Tomtom when next used. But be warned. All your settings will have been erased if you do it this way, but it will generate a new .cfg file for you. I have copied the .cfg file after I have set everything up to a new folder on my SD card so if I want to clear all previous routes etc I just copy that .cfg file back and presto it is as if I had just set up again

Probably Memory Card locked or .cfg file set to read-only. Check here or here.
