I have now seen two posters who reported in a North American forum that upgrading to NA map 830 has wiped out the PIN from their unit. Has anybody here experienced the same problem with updating your European map?

I have had many problems with updating but what do you exactly mean by the PIN?

The security number entered using Home to 'lock' your unit.

Now I know what you mean and although I do not use it, it seems to be stored in settings.dat in the root directory which was modified on my attempted update.

I also lost this, and my Favourites, and the sound settings attached to POIs.

Same here.
Funny though, the PIN was still there last night whilst I rebooted a few times whilst connecting to PC etc.

This morning - it's gone.

Going to spend 30 mins or so putting it all back as was.

Mine has gone also, and favourites too. I think it has displayed all POI on map as well as losing sounds! Grrr
