Map correction problem

Hi,
I am running a tomtom 920, ver 8.302, with the latest Australian map. I have not updated the map version for a while and have made a number of map corrections. All has been running fine. I have updated new program versions, with no loss of map corrections.

All of a sudden, I have lost my map corrections. No map update (as will wipe out your map corrections). I am at a lost of why they have disappeared. I do have a backed up version of the map folder. However, if I just delete the corrupted map folder off the tomtom and paste in the backed up map folder, the tomtom won't boot.

Is there a section of my map folder that would hold the backed up map corrections. I am thinking, as both maps are the same version, the map corrections may be re savealbe??

regards,

Jeff

Your personal map update settings are stored in the root (top or no) directory in a file called UserPatch.dat and referenced by the settings file MapUserPatch.dat in the map folder . You need both of these files for your map corrections to work.

Mr T,

Many thanks, that seems to have fixed the problem!!! Will this also work with a new upgrade to the map in the future??

Jeff Very Happy

It worked for me between 8.15 and 8.25 but I do not know if it will always work.
