What's New in Version 1.11

- LATEST, UPDATED TOMTOM MAP: because roads are constantly changing, on average 15% of roads change every year, your TomTom App update comes with the latest and most up-to-date map.

- NAVIGATE TO CONTACTS: users were unable to select addresses from their address book without agreeing to share information with TomTom. With this update you can select contact addresses without needing to agree to information sharing. Please note that the app never has and never will share any of your contact details with TomTom or anyone else.

- AUDIO OUTPUT SWITCH: easily stream all iPhone audio to the powerful speaker of the TomTom Hands-free car kit (or any other Bluetooth A2DP device).

- FOURSQUARE™ PLACES SEARCH: Find millions of exciting places to visit by searching with Foursquare, even if you are not a Foursquare user. Log into Foursquare and you can also check in at your destination so you don’t miss any points on your way to becoming its new mayor. (1)

- NAVIGATE TO COPIED ADDRESSES: easily select locations you found on websites or other apps by copying their address and pasting into the TomTom Navigation app. The app will automatically work out the location and navigate you there – no typing needed! (1)

- CHANGE ROUTE TYPE: plan a route using your default route type setting and quickly recalculate it using a different type with this new Route Option.

- CUSTOMIZABLE MENU: reorder the items in the main menu and location selectors to your personal preference. If you use your address book frequently as destination choice, you can even place the ‘Contact’ item back into the ‘Navigate To’ menu.

- CLOSING THE MENU ON IPAD: on iPad you can now choose to close the menu only when double tapping outside it. This stops the menu from closing if you accidentally miss a button.

(1) When used, these features need to share your location in order to work. Full details can be found in the about screen of the app.

Not here. Did you do a backup of your device before updating? Could try restoring that, then update again.

No help I know but I use diskaid and always take a copy of mapsettings.cfg when I update my speedcameras.

The updates always overwrite all my manual POIs so I have to put them back too.

It wiped me out as well!

For years, I have been backing up my TomTom 720 manually - exactly to stop this happening.

I thought that iTunes was making a backup for me, obviously wrong there!

If I try to look at my iPhone files on my PC, I can only basically see my photos, so how do you create a manual backup of the mapsettings.cfg file please?

Have a look at This thread which details how to get at the mapsettings.cfg file along with a few others - Mike

Hello again Mike, thanks for this.

As it happens, I only lost my Home location and half a dozen Favourites. It's a pity that TomTom don't protect the mapsettings.cfg file when they issue updates.

Shame indeed. They have known about the problem for quite a while now. Shocked
