 Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2007 2:54 pm Post subject: TT Home will not remove POI - TT6 and hx4700- help please? |
 |
|
I have HP iPAQ hx 4700, fabulous machine.
Old TT5 was OK but postcodes a real frustration and maps old.
Got TT6, and it is much better.
BUT, i foolishly added all the POIs available, thinign I wouldbe able to enable and disable them at will.
now i find htat is limited.
It also means i cannot get teh pocket GPS world traffic camera database to work.
THE BIG PROBLEM is that if i go into TT Home, firstly it takes ages to check everything.
Secondly and most important - I ask it to delete any POI category, it asls for a confirmation, and tehn sits there for hours on end doing nothing.
If I cancel, the program freezes.
What can I do? |

use a card reader or active sync to access the map folder and delete only the ov2 a .bmp files that you want to get rid of

What problems did you have with postcodes?

TT5 only used hte first part of hte postcode plus hte first number of the second part. That was far too wide - several miles in the country particularly when I was looking for National Trust preoperties.
TT6 uses full ostcodes to search - though stupidly htey do not advettise that fact. |

I can assure you that TTN5 has FULL postcode searching

Well, so are you saying that TTN6 does in fact run on the 4700? The 4700 is not on the list of devices its approved for.
I'll be getting the 6 upgrade soon, and would like to know, because TomTom's not responding to my question. |

I can confirm that the Hx 4700 is compatible when running WM5 (with the patch from HP).
No problems at all but then I don't use TThome for POI updating so Can't comment on that bit (just cut and paste the files in windows explorer it's much faster with WM5 as it is a USB 2 interface).
regards
