1. Yeah, I know. Make your changes using the TT menu, then save the mapsettings.cfg file.

Be aware that you cannot simply copy the mapsettings.cfg file to another map. In order to get that to work, first use the feature 'Operate my XL/GO/ONE' in TT HOME (and plan a route to one of the favorites) after you copied the .cfg file to the other map. If you do not do that, chances are that your TT crashes/freezes. TT HOME makes the file 'compatible' with the new map.

1. I've done it this way for 3 years with no problem.
2. This does happen, but only on rare occasions.
