Are you using a Custom Menu?

If yes then you need to rename the SdkRegistry, or remove it.

If not, then have you tried a Reset?

SDKregistry is a folder that can contain external/3rd party applications, not provided by TomTom. If you've ever used SunTime, Quickam, or any of the other additional programs, then you may have an SDKregistry lying around!

As Daggers has explained, we need you to dock you GO and look at the file list on the device. if you see a folder called SDKregistry then we know that you have installed software at some point that has modified the menu structure.

If you have it's a simple fix, let us know what you discover?

yes i have a folder called sdkregistry and looking in it it has the files for poi capture, from earlier posts should i just rename the folder? to "poicapture" or some such more helpful name, will that sort the problem?

thanks for all your help and input it's much appreciated

Simply resolved. POICapture is no lonfer supported anyway as TomTom withdrew SDK support.

You should uninstall POICapture by deleting the SDKRegistry and POICapture folders then reboot.

That should cure things Smile

Doh!!!
I've just spent 10 minutes wondering what "lifering" could be a typo for! (or even worse, what a lifer did on a TomTom).

Time for a lie-down!

Don't be too hard on yourself, my first reply suggested that Where Am I was in the HelpMenu and asked what a 'lifering' icon was.

Only after I posted it did I realise it was the Icon for HelpMe i.e. a 'Life Ring'!!

Thankfully a swift edit saved the day Wink
