tom tom 5 memory loss

I keep losing my favourites,poi settings,recent locations & home address,has anyone come across this or is my system faulty?

Hi Steve,
I had the same problem. The way i fixed it was......
Click on My Computer---Mobile Device---My Pocket Pc---Storage card---Great-Britain-Map---Then look for the file called Great-Britain-Map.cfg
Rename this file to something like Great-Britain1-Map.cfg
Then give it a try
It worked for me.....But make sure you back-up the original first just incase it all goes wrong.

Let me know how you get on
Good luck

Was this before or after reinputing them? can you still add new ones???

If you do the above, your favourites and settings should save

i was experiencing the same problem , the tip you gave me worked , i got my tom tom 5 from ebay and it works pristine now.. and nothing is affected

thank you all
