tomtom 720 & corrections

andy-c1 · Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:19 am Post subject: tomtom 720 & corrections

Can anyone help here as it's driving me insane ..
It all started when I updated my maps last round ,every time I do a map correction it is successful on the unit but once I connect to update it it seems to undo all my hard work and I have to start again
I did find another problem with my tomtom traffic had the wrong username and password ,but I have corrected that but it's driving me nuts Laughing Out Loud

Join the club! New maps may or may not contain the corrections you have submitted - general opinion seems to be that "may not" is more likely than "may". So you have to do all your corrections again on your new map.

PS from other threads elsewhere, it looks as though TomTom are implementing mapshare corrections far more quickly in North America.

no no no this is after update Laughing Out Loud

It seems to be loosing all my new corrections I make every time I update my tomtom ,eg this 1 road that has no right turns on map but you can in real life ,every time I correct it it is fine but as soon as I plug my tomtom in to update it returns it back to no right turn ........

As a first step, check the size and dates of the file "userpatch.dat" before and after an update.

Why not post the details of the hange here and someone can correct it and next time you update it should be changed.

456 KB (466,944 bytes)after I updated tomtom
460 KB (471,040 bytes)disconnected and made a change
456 KB (466,944 bytes)back to the same after update
and correction un done again ..also voice was muted that went live and lost previous location ..
any idea what to do next ... should I replace the file with a backup

thanks

the correction I am trying to do is ,if you navigate from Sainsbury Newhaven to beddingham round about ,you will see it takes you left at the round (which is right) then makes you take a left into avis road (which is wrong) you should just carry to to the T junction and make a right ,but on your units there is no right turn

A colleague of mine with a fully working tomtom had an issue recently where he would correct a no right turn, but after updating through his PC, the correction would disappear. It turns out that after some inspecting by myself, he had some corrupt files. In the end, I had to format the device and restore it by downloading the whole thing again from TT home!

Its working fine again now!
