XDA and TomTom 5 - yes, this again. Sorry

[frazer]

I know this question of satnav on the XDA has caused much gnashing of teeth, but I am trying to get TomTom5 working on a XDAII, WM 2003, using a TomTom wired receiver.

Everything works - and works perfectly, I might add - as it should EXCEPT I cannot change the basic defaults - e.g. home address. If I do, next time it reverts to the address previously used.

Equally, it will accept favourites, but not save them. Next time I fire it up any new entries are gone.

Can anyone suggest a way of changing these defaults?

Doubt this is a usefull reply ....
but it sounds like, where ever TomTom is writting to, to hold the Home and Favourite info ... is not staying put.

Is everything as it should be ? no missing files from folders ?

[frazer]

I thought that too, but as far as I can see everything seems OK as far as files are concerned. I am reluctant to use the restore factory settings button in case I do more damage. I can live with the default problem and enjoy the pleasure of a John Cleese sound alike!

But it would be nice to solve this problem.

Hi Frazer
you have to change the following file in your storage card\ Great-Britain-Map folder

Great-Britain-Map.cfg

to Great-Britain-Map.cfg.old

then start your tomtom and change you rhome address then you will able to store your home address

hope this help

Gugi, you're a genius. I owe you several pints if you are ever in deepest Yorkshire.

Your idea worked perfectly.

Very many thanks
