Not Saving Tom Tom settings

zanders · #1 (**permalink**) 19-07-2005, 01:46 PM

Hi All,

I have a bit of a problem with Tom Tom mobile version 5 on my nokia 6600.

It will not save any of the settings or POI preferences or even my home details.

When I change the settings exit from TOM TOM and go back into it all the settings are lost.

My version is, 5.000 (419) GPS v1.20 GB Map v5.62

Can anyone shed anylight on this?

Dont worry I have solved this myself.

I have the same problem, same versions but in a C500.
How did you solve the problem?

Have now solved it for myself.
Here's how.

Move the navigator.cfg file from the tomtom folder to the map folder and it saves your setting changes. Dunno why it's not seeing it in the tomtom folder but this has sorted the problem for me.

Hi
I have also have the same problem with my 6600, but do not know how to accsess the navigator.cfg file in the tomtom folder. I can't see how I get to the TomTom folder.
Any advice would be much appeciated.
Also, how do you clear the address & destination list.

Use the Nokia software to access the mobile phone,

There is a file within the tom tom folder structure with a .cfg extension.

this file is set to read only, all you need do is untick the read only attribute and away you go.

just delete the config.cfg file from the great britain folder on your ipaq. I did this and it worked from then on....
