Every now and again the TT loses the warnings for the PGSW speed cam files. Im using the .ogg files and most the time they work.

Now and again though, when I swicth on the voice warnings have dissapeared and I have to set them up again.

Also, although not sure if related the navigation voice goes off as well until I got to preferences and set it up again.

Any ideas?

Is there a file thats corrupt or something?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Once you have the device configured and working correctly copy the MapSettings.cfg (found in the map folder) to your PC as this contains all the settings, if it goes wrong again simply copy the file back to the map folder, it will save you the hastle of setting it all up again - Mike

Thanks Mike, I have a copy of that, and update it regularily but not very usefull when "on the road". Is it one of these I'm going to have to live with for now or anything else to look at?

It's a long-running problem.
For me, it seems more likely to do it if I have been connecting to the PC or to "Home" a lot. But it has also done it occasionally when I've been nowhere near a PC.
I've spent quite a bit of time and effort trying to pin down EXACTLY what causes it, but have never pinned it down.
Now I keep a spare copy of MapSettings.cfg on the TomTom itself (you can put it in the root directory, it doesn't affect anything there), so at least I can connect to ANY PC and paste it back into the map folder, rather than having to get it off my own PC.

Alas, I only originally moved to the ready made .ogg files, as my last own sound files were getting forgotten on ym Go 720.

Pleased I was therefore, that I found them, and I never had any bother since.

Alas, I am now finding, after three short days with my new 730, that even the .ogg files are now getting forgotten too.

Oh dear.

But yeah, reading back, there is that to it, isn't there.

How funny.

You have done well, young Padawan.
