tomtom 6, not saving recent info

[aximfan]

I have tomtom 6.10 with north american maps and for some reason its not saving previous searches, nor is it saving current home destination or favorites

anyone have this issue?

are you keeping the maps and voices etc...on the sd card?

Also which version of ttn do you use?

[aximfan]

The app itself is installed on the device itself the maps are loaded in the memory card

version is 6.010 (7720)
map version is v650.1052

Check you have a 'My Documents' folder on the sd card....generally thats where tomtom looks.

Sometimes a 3rd party app can drive ttn mental....bluetooth explorer is one such app.

Mine is working fine, gotta be something else

it sounds like mine is set up the same as yours, and it works just fine. try a reinstall

Make sure you're exiting TT properly via the menu and not through Running Programs or with a soft reset. TT appears to save settings on exit so if you bypass this it won't save.

I've try a reinstall a number of times I even reinstall of the WM6 rom, formated my memory card and still its not saving recent info, nor home address

I had this issue with TTN 5 on my JAM- favourites, home and any other personal preferences were not being saved; the problem was that when the files were copied over from a CD-ROM, they were still read-only. I removed that attribute from all folders and files and all was ok.

You can also copy the folders/files off the CD-ROM on to your computer then change the attributes from there.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Any changes I make are completely erased as soon as I shut down the app. I created a folder called "My Documents" on my SD card, and even one within it called 'navigator' to mimic the structure on my handheld (Dell Axim x51v). Can someone provide some detailed verifications I can perform to check that everything is working as it should be?

I agree with this... However, the file you are looking for is on the SD Card in the Map folder (eg. USA and Canada 675_1409) it is called MapSettings.cfg. Make sure it is not read only attribute and it will start to save your favorites!

Good Luck

use some software like Total Commander or another file manager software and remove "read only" attribute from MapSettings.cfg in the "USA and Canada xxxx_xxxx" directory on your storage card.

That should fix it.
