940 Favourites problem

hijacker · Regular Visitor Joined: Dec 20, 2003 Posts: 188

The format of my Favourites keeps changing.

Initially you type a name for your Favourite and this is displayed on the nav.

However after a few uses of the 940 the Favourite name is disappearing for all my entries, instead leaving behind the physical address of where my Favourite is.

EG:

I store a Favourite as "Bananaman". The associated address with this is 22 Acacia Avenue.

For a short period the favourite is correctly reported as "Bananaman".

However it then changes to "22 Acacia Avenue". The "Bananaman" is gone!!

Any takers??

My favourites have not changed at all on my 940 but they were all entered as points on the map rather than addresses. I usually enter them this way as the numbers for addresses are often a few houses out.

Not seen that myself, but it's a good bug!
Is it repeatable?
Can you think of anything you might do that prompts it to happen (e.g. connecting to Home?)

I have experienced this same problem twice on my G940.
However I have also been having problems with Fuel Prices and the last advice I got from TT was to:-
[a] Make a backup of my system.
[b] Use TTHome to remove the Application.
[c] Delete the Files (but NOT the Folders) from the Root directory.
[d] Use TTHome to reinstall the Application.
This I did and then copied back my MapSetting.cfg to restore my Favourites.
.
Since then the problem has not re-occurred
.
Of course that doesn't mean it won't if it is indeed a bug!!!

Gonna revert to the CFG file then that came with the device and try that.

If you have a day one back up from prior to you adding your Home Location to the device the chances are you won't have a MapSettings.cfg file in the backup.
Just remove the MapSettings.cfg file from the the map folder then switch on the device, it will create a new (empty) MapSettings.cfg file - Mike
