Updated to SP1 this evening and it would appear that when you go to 'ENABLE POIs' and then to 'ALERTS' there are only 5 alert categories so I cannot see any more than 5 zoned cams. I haven't tried it on the road yet but I suspect big problems!

I have informed the Navman technical people and await their reply. Perhaps a few more complaints/comments to them would be useful.

I've got mine up and running again. I think the best bet is to remove the POI's that YOU have put on the N20 before you upgrade to SP1.
To make it easier to install them again after the upgrade make a copy of the 'MyPOI' file and the 'custompoi.xml' file from the 'Navman' folder on the N20.

To delete the POI's properly use the POI editor, bear in mind its slow to delete them so give it time to finish the removal, make sure you press 'ok' at the end and 'save changes'.

I can't garantee it will stop any problems but its easier than ringing Navman and having to delete all the maps like i did!!

Yup same here, POIs all mucked up after sp1.
So I have uninstalled the software, rebooted, re installed direct off the original disk.
Then deleted all the files off the navman in folders .. program files & Navman, connected back up to the Smartst and reinstalled all the original software back onto the n20. Re uploaded all the poi's and everthing is back to normal.

After deleting and reloading my POI's and the maps under the instruction of Navman support have found that am still limited to 5 categories in the 'Alerts' menu. Its as if the 'alerts' menu has frozen with regard to the arrows at the side of the screen. Maybe as Barrados says you have to completely re-install the original software. Doctorf anything back from Navman?

Is it really necessary to uninstall the software from the PC and the N20 Question

I only have two (2) Alerts only showing after the update (SP1) but then I have had no luck in installing any of the custom (PGPSW) POIs as yet Crying or Very sad

So to reiterate, I have two Alerts and these refer to the Navman installed POIs Safety Cameras and Temps only.

I really am at the end of my love/hate relationship with Navman Evil or Very Mad

Gee-Pee do you know what version number your Smartst Desktop software was before installing sp1 ? You seem to be having a lot of problems with pois even before installing sp1.
Here are my version numbers of the original install disks:-
SmartST Desktop: v4.0.10.24
Desktop Lang: v4.0.10.9
Activation: v4.0.10.1
Activation.dll: v4.0.10.5
POI Compiler: v4.00.0006
POI Editor: v4.0.10.1
iPAQDevice.dll: v4.0.10.1
DeviceLink.dll: v4.0.10.1
MapCheck.dll: v4.0.10.1

Yes you will have to uninstall your software after the sp1, because it updates the software on the n20 with new software, but more like bombware as its no good !

**Note** if your are going to delete all th files off your n20 make a full backup first, also browse your n20... Program Files\Navman\SmartST_CE and open the file cdkeys.dat in notepad and make a note of the 2 keys, there is a good chance you will be asked for these when re installng the software on the n20. Navman support will not be a lot of help, I had to find out the hard way, and only with trial and error, found the correct key.

If anyone does not feel comfortable about killing there n20, then leave well alone.

One other thing I tried last night,,,, I updated again with sp1. The n20 pois was mucked up, now I had made copies of the files
Program Files\Navman\SmartST_CE
SmartST_CE.exe
version.ini
gpslog.ini
cdkeys.dat
masterkey.dat
sigreg.dat
prio to updating, now I copied these old files back to the n20 overwriting, dissconected from the pc, the n20 rebooted and all the poi were back where they should be ! now the n20 seemed to be working ok, but how stable it would be I dont know.
Any how, I hope that some of this info helps out.

Will check out the former version numbers when I have a moment but meanwhile the current SmartST 2006SE now installed on the N20 is Build 4.11.004 (2006/11/01 -12:20:14). It's working fine apart from the installation of new POIs. Had a 100Mile drive last night and noted that the alerted default installed cameras also had the speed limit shown against the alert. So that's a bonus. Liked the Exit number and road number on exiting from Motorways - better than the old 510! Like the fact that if there are turnings (say) from a road junction or roundabout then you are told what turnings to expect after eg take the third exit from the roundabout and immediately take the third exit on the left etc...

So it's not all bad ....yet. If I can overcome the POI problem - and I am expecting some help from Tim after he gets his new N20 this w/e, then all will be will well Wink

some further comments;

1. The guy at Navman got back to me Friday late afternoon but I was too busy to talk. I'll return his call monday am and post any news of note.
2. I've just done a 400 mile drive this weekend and I agree that the Navman alerts are now much better with the speed now specified with the warning. All my added POIs seem to work OK despite only 5 showing up on the alert menu so that is also encouraging.
3. The mapping and voice direction is certainly the best I have ever used up to present on any GPS system.
4. I get the odd alert from the GPS world files AFTER the camera has been driven past; this does not happen too often so I guess I can live with it. If anyone has any bright ideas to solve this then please let me know!
