I am a total beginner and would welcome any help
Any sounds or verbal messages that i set on my ipaq 2190 become deleted once i exit tmtom. For me to use audible warnings of speed cameras etc i need to set them up each time i energise tomtom. alos occaisonally i loose my home location favourites and recient destinations.
Cheers
Ian

This is the only thing i might know the answer too .
Check that your memory is not set to read only. |

with the ipaq connected to the pc use the explore device function to go to the sd card and then to the map folder look for a .cfg file and check wether or not its set to read only.
where are you putting the sound files that tt uses _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone. Good bye IOS don't let the door hit you on the way out .

i have found a file with "mapsettings.cfg" on it. when i explore this file it opens with the read only box ticked. what should it be - ticked or not ticked - if not ticked how do i change it?
also the ogg files ere installed into the map folders - they do work ok untill i close tomtom the the sound warning tick boxes on the configure poi's become unticked when i open tomtom
thanks in anticipation

That's the one!
To change it, find it with Windows Explorer (like you must have already), then right-click and select "Properties", then click on the "read only" tick so it goes away, then click "OK" or "Apply" at the bottom (both will do the same job, but "Apply" doesn't shut the window). |

Thank you to the brilliant people who helped me. things now seem ok.
One thing - if anyone else is having this problem, note- i couldn't carry out this task through tomtom activesync on explore as the choices were "greyed out" but did manage via card reader and windows explorer.
Thanks again
