Must be a bug in 58 that only affects some people, probably be a new version along soon.

Sorry, real life (friend's kitten apparently stuck in cavity wall!) got in the way.
I haven't forgotten though (although if forky thinks its a useful "insight" I'm afraid he'll be disappointed! Laughing

)

I had a lengthy discussion with a TomTom support lady in Holland this afternoon about the lack of POI updates recently. She said there was no way for me to know if I had received POI updates since these are included with other MapShare updates and not downloaded as separate files. My argument that TomTom HOME V2.1.2.21 used to display a text during the updating with a specific indication of POI updates didn't bite. Further, I tried to explain nicely to her that the checkboxes in the MapShare menu of the device can be used for comparing the map data with and without applied MapShare updates to verify if an update has come through or not, but she claimed (politely though) that I hade misunderstood the feature of the device.

So, apparently I must have dreamt that I received POI updates earlier and that I used to get new or updated CAxxxx.ov2 files in my map folder each time I connected to HOME. It's even more strange that I, after this dream, happen to have backups of CAxxxx.ov2 and PAxxxx.ov2 files from the v710 map which, when I copy them into a clean v710 map folder, make the previously invisible POIs reappear. That's pure magic!

PS: Could someone please name the location of a restaurant that you added to the v710 WE map before the 20th of January that you have later downloaded via the POI subscription feature of MapShare. I will then check if I see that POI in my old CAxxxx.ov2 updates. You can, at the same time, check if you spot a restaurant at N56.35368 E14.57831

Maybe they HAVE changed the way it's done?

It would make sense, as the CAxxxx method could use up a large chunk of the available POI categories on some machines.

If they've started again, then all the corrections we've already made would not show up, so would have to be submitted again (we've seen that before with the actual mapping updates).

All we need is for someone from TomTom to TELL us, so we can stop bugging them, but in the discussions I've been in recently, they were so unknowledgeable that they denied they provided ANY POI updates via Map Share or 'Home' except Safety Cameras! Rolling Eyes

(I'll post the full story tonight, I promise!)

I've just downloaded v2.2.2.83 and can confirm that it's offering NO mapshare updates of any kind at present (last updated middle of last week).

Don't tell me that to stir it into action, we've got to delete all our existing corrections again!

I've only just finished getting all mine back as they were (for the forth time).
