 |
|
Hi,
After updating my map I appear to have to re-enter my favorites and custom POI warnings, which I have done manually
Can I individually backup my favorites/POI warnings prior to updating my map, and then reinstate them after the map has been updated ?
My GPS is a TT Go 520 |

| If you back up the mapsettings.cfg file from the map folder before the upgrade then in most instances you can copy it back after to restore the settings. |

There are many, many discussions about this, on the forum.
For more details about when it works and particularily what to try if it doesn't, try a forum search for that filename. |

I have used my old v8.50 MapSettings.cfg file with the new v8.55 map and it seems to work okay on my GO530  |

Alas it doesn't work with my 720. And I did go into Home and edit a POI category, as recommended in previous threads, before putting the old MapSettings.cfg file back

You need to put your old MapSettings.cfg file on first, then see if you get the rebooting loop. If you do, then Operate you device in HOME and create a new favourite. That works for me.
