Having saved both my home data and favourites data these have disappeared when I switch tomtom on gain. Iam using an Ipaq h1940 and navigator 6. Can anyone please help with this?

Search for an delete the CFG file in your map folder.

TT will recreate, and this will fix your problem.

Thanks but I cannot find the .cfg file that you mention. I only have the western european map on my storage card and when I try a search nothing turns up.I have tried looking using my card reader but the files are not recognised and show up as meaningless symbols which cannot be read.

The CFG will be in the Euro map folder, and should be called Western_Europe-Map.CFG or similar.

Windows may recognise it as Outlook Cofiguration file for the file type

Could be

Your card is set to read-only (check the slider on the side) or

Your map.cfg file is set to read-only. In this case, look in your map folder for the config file (should be named the same as the folder with a .cfg extension) Copy this file to your hard-drive and untick the read-only attribute. Copy the file back to the map folder.

i have had the same problems saving home location etc and could not find a CFG file anywhere because i use tt6 i think its called 'map settings' i siply deleted it and then restarted tomtom and it remade the file so the old one must have been corrupted!
