TomTom 5.21 loss of Favourites

[rogbear]

I had over a hundred Favourites in my TT5.21 and yesterday they all disappeared when I close my i-Mate Jamin down after a trip.

I have TomTom backed :D up but which file(s) do I need to restore to get my favourites back.

Many thanks, Rog

Do let us know how you get on - it's bound to happen to us all at some time or other!

Thanks but it didn't fix my issue, however it did help me spot the bad file. Simply copied the backed up "Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg" into the maps folder and everything was fixed.

I've now made a folder on my SD card that only holds that file so that I can copy it over if I lose Favourites again.

Thanks for the help. 8)

Yay!

I suggest that everyone should create a folder on their SD card and copy "Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg" from the TomTom Great_Britain_Maps" folder into the new folder.

If/when you lose Favoutrites/Cameras then simply copy the file over and overwrite the bad one.

It does look like a serious fault in TomTom to me and seems to be happening in all TT 5.xx versions according to the thread listed above.

It may save a lot of upset.
