940 Reboots on anything to do with "City"

Hi guys, a couple of weeks ago I had the dreaded sim 1001 error which seemed to be resolved (and is still working OK) by a complete battery discharge. My 940 also now announces out loud when the remote is connected and when the route is cleared (which it never used to - only on screen messages).
It now seems to have a new problem Rolling Eyes

that causes it to lockup and reboot everytime I try to select navigate to City Centre or POI in City - it's not a feature that I use very often so I don't know if it's yet another problem or just down to v9.058 - I pretty sure I know the answer as I'm sure someone else would have asked about had it been down to v9.058.

You haven't by any chance clothed it in a red United shirt? Laughing

I recall Andy P posting a while back that where a city centre has been pedestrianised, the TT can find no viable route. Though I think he said you got a message to that effect, not a reboot. You could try setting a route to a road in the city - just select address/city/any street.

Hi Dennis,

When people refer to the 'Navcore' do they mean the 940 application, the maps or something else altogether?

Yes, sorry, that's down to us having our own language - Navcore is the application - v9.058 in your case. I'm not sure a Factory reset would clear a dodgy app.

FWIW, my 740 with latest navcore will reboot if I try to enter addresses by city centre. I think I usually give up after the second go, but it may have eventually worked.

Have you got the MapShare POI update option enabled? if so turn it off and remove the POI updates then see if it is still re-booting as these files have caused issues in the past making the device re-boot but usually it happens on switch on rather than when in use, worth a try though - Mike

I had a similar problem on the TT700 some while back, anything that required an alphanumeric input crashed and rebooted. It was eventually sorted by changing the keyboard from LARGE to SMALL ... no idea why it worked .. but it did !!!!

Hi Mike,
Where do I find the POI update option? Also, how do I remove previous updates?
Cheers,
Rob.

Home's Tools--Mapshare Corrections--Remove Corrections

You have to have your unit connected for the menu item to be active.

Right, did a backup from memory card to PC HD, reformatted memory card, ran scan disk on card, transferred backup from HD to memory card, removed application and allowed home to reinstall (funnily enough the app removed was a few megs less than the one that was down loaded even though it was supposedly the same version), did all the usual updates and everything is working now as it should.
Let's see if it works for the trip from Manchester to Taunton this afternoon Rolling Eyes
