Then you must be "The one". Are you sure your name is Andy and not Neo? Cool

Can I ask what settings you two use? And do you use the 'Mark error' button in the Quickmenu?

Usually I have:
Use these corrections...
Myself
TomTom
Subscribed POI
Trusted Sources
Reported by many

Sometimes (for testing purposes, when someone wants to know if his uploads are working) I add "reported by some". It's actually on at the moment.

On the next page I have "Ask me to share my corrections every time", though I think that might apply to sharing via Bluetooth only (which I don't use) as I don't think it ever asks me specifically when I connect to home.

On the next page, I DO have "Show report button" (for the Quick menu). It seems to work and is not greyed out, but I don't think I've ever actually used it in anger.

Thanks, guys. I have the first four on page 1 (resets to first two only), the middle one on page 2 (never resets) and "Show button" on p3, which resets to "Hide button", although the button doesn't actually get hidden, it just doesn't work until I "Show" it again.

I can only get the updated Mapshare CAxxxx files to work if I rename them.

For example CA7322 has to be renamed to Police Station.OV2 to view the POI's on my 720.

The mapshare POI's do not work as they should.

You can't expect consumers to have to rename every file just to make it work. Confused

Just done an update on the 720, a new POI file was downloaded for Both Dentists file CA9374.ov2 and Doctors file CA9373.ov2 both of which have had ALL the UK POI's removed. The nearest listed are on the Continent.

So have just added some UK ones to both and uploaded.

If this is an error on the TomTom server then fine, but if somebody has deliberately deleted all the UK POI's from the Doctors or Dentists then this MapShare feature is doomed.

This not only effects the POI files in the help me section but the main POI files as well, when I did a find in TomTom for Doctors & Dentists both come up with just the continental ones.

Interesting... I'll try it myself now...

At the moment before I update, if I look at "Doctors"/ Nearest me, I have 6 UK ones before any Continental ones.
1 - My own Doctor
2 - HighTown
3 - Sibford
4 - Avenue House
5 - Avondale
6 - Newbold
7 - Vanwalleghem (De Panne, Belgium)

That is with ALL "trust" options ticked in the Mapshare Preferences.
If I un-tick "Corrections I made myself" I lose my own doctor, but the rest are still there.

I'll now try an update....

OK, I have now updated (using Home v2.1) and YOU ARE RIGHT!

The nearest Doctors shown are now:
1 - My own Doctor
2 - Vanwallegan w
2 - Bossuyt m
3 - Depijper eric
etc.

All previous updates except my own have gone.

I can think of two possible reasons:
1. Mapshare is still rubbish and not working properly, or
2. Mapshare WAS rubbish, and the problem they had with corrupted updates (referred to on the TT website HERE) means that they have junked them all and started again.

Either way I think we have a right to know why. I for one will be raising this with them as a question right now.

Edit: question sent to TT describing the above example. We'll see what they say!

If you look back to my post on the 18th in this forum you will see a list of Doctors that were on mine. I might just dig out that POI file from the backup set and rename it to a PA and see if it will upload it.

Either way it means that all the time others have spent adding POI's for their own localities has been waisted.

It also puts a black mark against the MapShare features if this has been done deliberately. Bee interested in what TomTom have to say about it.
