Sorry, Jock, I should have linked to your post of 25 October 2009 at the end of that thread, rather than Darren's post at the beginning! Embarassed

If you have a copy of your old map prior to updating then you can get the locations back by following #15 on the FAQ page see Here

It isn't unusual to lose Favourites when updating the application and/ or map, for this very reason I never recommend people use them, create your own custom POI category on the device and use that to save locations.
A custom POI file can be transferred to other devices so if you upgrade at some point you can copy the file to the other unit.
It also can accept phone numbers for each location.
There is no realistic limit to the number of locations saved within a single file.
Custom POI files survive the map/ application updates - Mike

Try switching to the existing US map on the device and then run the update again.
