It did it to me today (just once) I restarted tomtom and had no more problems for the rest of the drive. I'm getting a bit suspicious tho, maybe it's not so stable as I thought.

favourites, home etc are saved normally

try and alternative sd card, i had lots of weird problems with tomtom shutting down and general lockups.. New sd now ok

if you get the issue where you cannot save fav's or home location, put the sd car into a pc 2k or xp and right click on the maps folder and check the folders and contents are not set to read only.. had me stumped for a bit..

turn off all your POI's in the menu (dont show them at all) and Im 99% sure the problem will be gone

something's fishy about TT5 and POI's

I had the same problem, and used this patch

Never had any problems since, using loads of POI's.

Hi neostar,

If this one is working we'll owe you much.... In my case, I was never able to use POI functionality(from the very beginging).

For the rest, indeed, if you don't want to have weird behaviour, stop using POIs...

I also had the same problem, up until recently where everything has been working perfectly, and I have noticed my POI's are actually off. As soon as I switch them on......TT5 closes. :shock:

[jaythemagician]

try having some on but not cash dispenser,then,turn them all off and put the cash dispenser on.that's what closes it for me

Indeed TomTom does not crash th moment hen I use POI (after installing the patch neostar pointed). But now:

1. The routes are not saved after restart
2. The favorites are lost after restart.

As a matter of fact, all the settings that were in place before installing the patch are preserved, nothing done after the patch installation is preserved.

Cheers,
R.

It's not the patch, cause I use it too and my settings are saved!

[resita]

Good point,

What should be the reason than ???

excellent, works like a charm, thx

[plyford]

I have the same problem too..

I lose all my favorites e.t.c each time I close down the tomtom.

Any ideas?

To solve the Home/Favourites not saving, make sure every file in your Map folder is writable (i.e. not Read Only)

To solve the crashing issue, download a working POI.DAT file... one of the TomTom cracks included a GB map with a corrupt POI file... there are cracks with a working one.

I had a problem with the app reinitialising itself every time I turned teh device on - this soved it
