G'day all.
having installed tom tom 5 on my PDA I live in fear of my battery running down , if it did can I get TT5 up and running again without reinstalling the all programme, surely there must be a quick way to get up and running again, and can inserts in the "recent destination" menu be deleted is so how ? please .
many thanks in advance
Graham..

You don't state which PDA you have - but does it have a back-up programme on it? - if so use it and save the back-up to the SD card, that will never wipe (unless it goes U/S) if you have no back up programme on the PDA then invest in one ASAP, I have inbuilt backup programms on the Ipaq's and the XDA which are invaluable, not sure about deleting recent destinations as I can't find a way to do it anyone else? - Mike

Get Sprite Backup and use it to create a self-extracting backup on SD card. If you ever have to do a hard reset of you PDA, after the reset just execute the self-extracting backup and away you go.

Hi grayus,

Welcome

to the forum! Thumbs Up

Apart from ensuring that you regularly charge up the PDA, I’ll repeat what kartracer has said. You should buy a copy of Sprite Backup. If you’re running a PocketPC the latest version is 3.1.4. If you have an iPAQ you can upgrade from the iPAQ backup software to the full blown "Sprite Backup Personal Edition" for just US$10.00.

Regards,

what i'm planning to when off to france on hols this winter is to get a second battery - brand new generic ones go for about a tenner on a certain auction site ...

in my case I want to use my ipaq for wnadering around on foot with and it's got much less battery life than my TT5 BT GPS
