Removing POIs from Internal Memory on N** range

Gee-Pee

Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the user installed POIs from the internal memory on the N20 via the Smart ST Desktop Question

When they are loaded, you get a choice of installing on the Internal Memory or the Storage Card, and some time ago I loaded a set on to the internal memory. Now I have loaded the latest on to the Sorage card but cannot find a way via the desktop software to uninstall them. They just do not show up in the POI Editor - (I know that I can use My Computer - Mobile device to access them) but possibly it is safer to use Navman's own software to uninstall them. Confused

Gee-Pee I am just about to try and remove a bridge POI file from my N40 internal memory (no card fitted as yet), I intend to use SmartST to do so and will let you now how I get on. That is what you were asking isn't it Question

Gee-Pee if your answer to my question above is yes then this is what I did

Open SmartST then connect device and wait for it to synchronize

click on Map | Points Of Interest - this opens POI editor

Click on Device | Manage POI files - this will display your user POI files which you have installed

Select the file you want to delete and then click the Delete button and save changes!

That's it Idea

took me around 2 minutes although it does take a while (on my PC) for the SMartST menus to load.

Hope this is what you wanted and best of luck! Wink

Could you please tell me what column heading you have in the POI Editor. The third column in mine says 'Storage Card' I cannot find a means of showing 'Internat Memory' Crying or Very sad

Graham, not sure how to paste a picture quote of your message yet so .. You said

"I followed this proceedure exactly BUT, none of my POI files showed up when I went to 'Manage POI files'.
I shall have another look, but meanwhile I have solved the matter by delecting them via the PC Desktop as above. Thaks for quick response. At least I know how it should be done "

As your latest post suggests the message re 'no user POI files found' was received AFTER you removed your poi file(s) (using your PC Desktop) then they would not show once you opened POI editor. Idea

unless of course you left some other poi files on there and these should still show?

I will endeavour to send some cut and paste images of what I see on my system but I will need to read up on how to do that first... hopefully somewhere in the forum guides.

It might be worth comparing what version SmartST etc. you have. Mine according to the Help | About menu - last item - is v4.11.0005. Also, do you have it intstalled on your device too? I DO but I am not sure if you HAVE to install it or if its just an option - forgive my ignorance in this but I can't see why SmartST would need to be installed on the device itself!

I will get back to you later...

Question

When you reply to the message, just click the 'Quote' tab in the top right of the message instead of clicking 'Reply to message'

so .. You said

"I followed this proceedure exactly BUT, none of my POI files showed up when I went to 'Manage POI files'.

True, but I removed My POIs from the memory after I had checked with the POI Editor.

unless of course you left some other poi files on there and these should still show?

I will endeavour to send some cut and paste images of what I see on my system but I will need to read up on how to do that first... hopefully somewhere in the forum guides.

I understand that it is not possile for forum members to put images into the forums .

It might be worth comparing what version SmartST etc. you have. Mine according to the Help | About menu - last item - is v4.11.0005. Also, do you have it intstalled on your device too? I DO but I am not sure if you HAVE to install it or if its just an option - forgive my ignorance in this but I can't see why SmartST would need to be installed on the device itself!

Mmmm! A little unclear on that point myself. The version number on my device is 4.11.0005 just like yours, which means you have updated the software via the SmartST Desktop (SP2).
The version number of the SmartST 2006 SE Desktop program on my PC is v.4.0.12.2 & on my laptop (which has not run the update) is v.4.0.10.24
.....

I will get back to you later...

What started out as a simple (?) query seems anything but. Wink

Graham, We have the same versions on our devices and our pc's, as you said your laptop is not updated so lets stick with your pc.

Have you currently deleted all your user installed poi files from your device Internal memory and if not what do you see in your poi manager window

Secondly, if you have microsoft word, I can pm you with screen shot of what I see
