just installed new maps and 8.301. home and faves, etc lost. copied over old cfg file and 920 stuck in endless reboot cycle Crying or Very sad

connected it to TTHome and operated it from there (faves and home were there) and then disconnected and everything now fine. might be a useful tip to anyone caught similarly.

can anybody who has purchased the v825 maps see any difference with the old map . myself i think navteq have more up todate maps and teleatlas don't really change any items on the maps , and i bet the thounsands of map share submissions only a few will be in the new map ( actually it's just the old map with a different number )

Well HERE'S A THREAD which shows the map HAS changed, so all is not vapourware. Unfortunately, that change is for the worse! Rolling Eyes

This losing of Favourites is why I stopped using Favourites some considerable time ago, sometimes its an application update other times a map update can cause this issue.

What you can do is convert your MapSettings.cfg file to an ov2 file and use it as a custom POI file with a number of associated benefits:

1/ You can have the file on multiple devices.
2/ You can have the same locations on different maps
3/ They are not affected by updates to software
4/ They are not affected by updates to maps
5/ Custom POI files can contain phone numbers
6/ You can have thousands of locations per category

If you want POIEdit download it from Here install it to the PC and use it to open the old MapSettings.cfg file. Use the file Save as ov2 option which will convert the file to the custom POI type - Mike

i think it's shameful how tomtom treat people ( we have all submitted mapshare corrections ) and when new maps get released all these mapshare are not shown . but they will be asking us to resubmit them .

Well my nice shiny new 940 live doesn't even let me subscribe to map update service. Lets me but a single map, but does't offer me the service. I`ll be dammed if i`m paying almost £80 for WCE when the map update service is about £40 a year for 4 maps!

I copied my mapsettings.cfg from my 815 backup to the 825 map and all seems well. But it was only my Home location because all my favourites are POIs. It did restore my camera warnings which I had lost though.

Downloaded the new maps to my 540 in under 10 minutes.

Before the update I planned a few routes to see if IQ Routes data would be updated, and it does appear there are some subtle changes in the data.

Home to work, Monday 7am
815 map 1hr11 35.2M - 825 map exactly the same

Work to home, Friday 5pm
815 map 1hr13 35.5M - 825 map 1hr12 35.4M (different route out of Leeds)

London to Edinburgh, Monday 7am
815 map 6hr59 406M - 825 map 7hr 406M

Edinburgh to London, Friday 5pm
815 map 6hr53 399M - 825 map 6hr56 399M
