HOME 2.2 Question

tanda · Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 12:54 am Post subject: HOME 2.2 Question

Tonight, I updated my TomTom ONE, and was offered an update for TomTom HOME, which I downloaded. I was also offered what I thought were updates for the standard voices, which I downloaded. Later on, I connected my TomTom to TomTom HOME again, and was offered these updates again, which I downloaded, thinking the previous ones would be overwritten. I now find, I have the same voices 3 times, how do I delete 2 of these duplicate files, and just keep one of each. In TomTom HOME, there is an option to delete from TomTom, but there are no voice files listed. I have looked in the TomTom home backup file and I have for example Jane, Jane 1, Jane 2, but on the TomTom, in the voice folder, the files are named Data04CHK and DATA04VIF, so I don't know which file is which, can anyone help please. I do have a backup, (Windows Explorer), but I just wanted to know If I was doing something wrong in TomTom HOME, seams silly, not having a way to delete something, that HOME has just put on.

Using Windows Explorer right click the .vif file and choose "Open With" then select NotePad, or, if Open with isn't available choose Open then pick the NotePad application from the presented list.
Once opened you will see the files associated name, dataXX.chk (where XX is a number), and the country - Mike

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. This is doing my head in, Just for reference, how do I use a Windows explorer Backup, delete EVERYTHING from the SD card, then copy the backup onto it?
In my case, could I delete the contents of just the voice folder, then copy the contents of the backup voice folder onto it, would that sort me ok? Thanks again.

I would hazard a guess and say that you only have one Jane on your Device. She will always, assuming TT don't mess things up, be Data04.chk and Data04.vif.

Is it only the duplication on the PC that is bothering you?

In which case delete the duplications. Even if you took them all out, it is a free download you can do any time.

Hi Oldboy, No, the duplications are on the TomTom as well, I have 3 janes, 2 Vicki's, 2 Liz's, about 6 Kathy's etc, should I delete the contents of the voice folder on TomTom, and copy my backup voice folder, or I could delete the contents of the voice folder, and just download the voices I want, that way, I don't get all the forign ones, is this right?

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the replies. The copies/duplicates, are numbered individually, so the 6 Kathys all have different DATA Numbers, so when I copied/pasted, the files from my backup, it replaced the same file number, for the same file number, and left the duplicates untouched, so in the end, I copied the contents of the TomTom voice folder, then deleted them, then copied/pasted the backup voice folder contents into the TomTom voice folder, so its all sorted now, thanks again for everyone's help.
