TT5.1 Night Mode

[WeeHappyPixie]

Hi folks,

Hope someone can help me here. I have TomTom Navigator 5.1 which run's from the SD card. It is running on an HX4700.

I have my day and night colour scheme's set to Brittanica in the settings. Day works OK but when I change to Night it always reverts to Africa and then I have to go back into prefs and change it back. The moment I change back to Day then Night the night mode goes back to Africa.

Is there a problem saving the Night scheme. TomTom saves the Day scheme Ok but no matter what I do I cannot get it to save the Night scheme.

Please help if you can.

Cheers,

John

Why do you want Night mode set to 'Britannica'? Surely that would make it the same as Day mode?

Hi WeeHappyPixie,

There are a couple of day schemes that are very similar, Britannica is one of them and I've forgotten the other one (sorry my PPC isn't close to hand at the moment).

If your SatNav isn't saving details for next time you use it then:

1. Do you exit (shutdown) TomTom Navigator or just hit the switch on the hx4700? You should always fully exit TomTom Navigator.

2. Is the write protect switch on your SD card set to protect?

3. Is the config (Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg or Great_Britain-Map.cfg) file set to Read only?

Regards,

Hi Folks,

Cheers for your suggestions. I have tried them all to no avail.

SD card is not write protected. The map.cfg file is not read only. I always close down with the exit button then wait about 5 seconds before switching off power.

If I select day mode then it uses Britanica. If I select Night mode it uses Africa. If I then go into settings and set night mode to Britanica then it will use Britanica in night mode until I exit the application. After restating the application it reverts back to Africa.

I have just gotten into the habbit of leaving it in day Britanica mode and turning down the brightness on the PDA till I can find a fix that works.

Cheers for all your suggestions so far.
