tomtom live xl w europe

hi all
i have a year old sat nav as above and have been offered by tomtom a latest map download and 1 year of updates for £16.24 (i think) as when i have previously tried to take up a similar offer there was a hefty charge for the new map and the deal price was only for the updates thereafter, so not sure if this is the same type of offer.
my main point however, is that if i go for this will i have to reactivate every PGPSW camera type everytime i download a new map and / or update as this is a bit of a pain if i have to do this every few months, i think i'd rather keep a slightly outdated map in place?
many thanks for any advice received.

If you keep a copy of the MapSettings.cfg file from your map folder you can simply copy that file to the new map folder post update and all the warnings etc will remain the same, note you might not lose the POI warnings by a map update but having the MapSettings.cfg file gives you another chance should the Home/ MyTomTom software screw up. - Mike

thanks as ever for your reply mike.
i will save a copy as you have suggested and see what happens.
just thinking actually, i have poi categories of my customers addresses (about 120) will these be affected or can i do a similar file save and install to map folder? for those also. do they go in the same folder as the cameras as well?
thanks again, tony.

For your contacts POI file there will be an 0v2 file and a bmp file, you will need to copy these to your new map post update, these two files will ne in the same map folder as the speed camera POI files.

The cost associated with updating the map is on a sliding scale, if you have the latest map when you upgrade then it costs the least amount of money, if your map is over a year old when you update then they charge a fee for the latest map plus access to the next updates for 12 months - Mike
