TTN5 Losing POI settings

Today i setup my TomTom because I was taking some friends to Gatwick Airport (2 hour trip). I noticed it was running slowly and the reason was because it had set itself to show POIs even though I had disabled them before.
On top of that, it had managed to erase all of my 'Warn when near POI' sounds. (It has done this twice).

The on the return journey I went to select Navigate to Home only to find that it has also removed all om my favourites!!!

Has anybody else encountered this and if so, do they have a fix please?

This TTN5 seems to be one problem after another. TomTom should be paying us Beta Testers!!

It is a bug in TT5 - appears that in some situations TT can't read the file on the SD card that stores these, so it writes a new file with the defaults!

Report it to TT so that one day they might fix it. In the mean time, record all "Favourites" as POIs instead so you do not lose them.

I had this problem, and mine was down to the config file in my UK map on my storage card being "read only" so it would not save settings. I copied it to my PC went into its properties, unticked the "read only" box then copied it back to my PDA now works a treat.
