white90 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 how do you change the home address and make the PDA remember the change? mine keeps going back to the one set previously when switched off and on again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M005 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Start up TomTom From the drop down menu in the top left corner select Map It helps if the GPS is on & you are sitting on your drive to make sure the map is centred correctly. If you tap the screen an icon will appear (looks a bit like a 'cheese' in Trivial Pursuits), tap & hold on the icon and a menu appears Select Add to Favourites and then select home location This should set the home location & it should be remembered when closed down, never had any problems myself.

white90 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 set and when I turned it off it still goes back to the one that was there previously. Les any ideas? even if I delete the old home location when I turn off/on it goes back there as a home location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dottythe90 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I don't have TomTom but it sounds very much like an issue I had setting the COM port for the GPS with CartoExplorerur (like a French MemoryMap). After you've made the change, how are you exiting TomTom ? Do you use the X at the top right hand corner of the screen or an Exit menu option (I presume TomTom has one) ? If using the X it may not be storing the change as TomTom will still be running in background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Tony, do a soft reset on the pda and try again. TT5 can be a PITA sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishd Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Um, just a thought, if this was copied off a CD onto a memory card there is a chance the settings directory is marked as read-only... meaning it will allow you to attempt to change your home address but then forget once you leave the program. Easiest method is to drop the memory card into a card reader on your PC and when the drive letter appears navigate to the drive, press CTRL+A to select all directories and press ALT+Enter to bring up the properties page. Make sure that the Read Only tick box is clear. If it has a tick in it or a tick with a shaded box then click till it is clear then select OK. That might clear it up.
