Thanks

1. Not sure why but, when Home connects to operate Go 710, it then finds no maps even though unit works fine normally.
2. The only reason I'm bothering with this after years of satisfactory performance with the v9.053 setup is because when I upgrade the large European map (but not UK&I) all my speed camera POI get wiped with mapsettings.cfg and it's a real pain to reinstate them. With an earlier OS I figured out how to bypass this problem using Home to operate my Go but it was all very "hit and miss" so I haven't tried for some time. I'm not prepared to do much fiddling with this since I don't want to upset two pretty stable units.

I'm really delighted with my two old Go 710's and this setup - they do everything I need and much more than the original spec. - the only issues are:

3. Losing POI info on large map updates (as above) and
4. Units don't start smoothly with car ignition like they did with earlier OS -
5. if they are not switched on manually before ignition they go through a much more convoluted boot process and are a bit more flaky locking to GPS for a while. Although others have also identified this problem I've yet to see a fix.

Cheers

After it failed to find maps, I haven't pursued the issue 'cause I don't want to risk messing things up. Over the years I've had a few "hairy" moments! I might have another go tomorrow if I'm feeling brave or foolish!!

2. Yes copying .ov2 and mapsettings.cfg works for the smaller UK&I map upgrades but for bigger maps, say W&CE etc (with the most POI's of course) Go710 falls over, the mapsettings.cfg gets wiped and the various loops start until I give up and spend a very tedious 15 mins banging in all manage POI's data yet again! The best way around all this was to copy .ov2 and mapsettings.cfg to the new map and first get it to work within Home "operate my device" and save a a new favourite within mapsettings.cfg - that would then allow the unit to work satisfactorily as stand-alone. Hence my interest in getting 9-053-520930-1.dll patched.

Yes I've had my 710's long enough to remember when they did autostart smoothly with switching ignition on (as they still smoothly switch off with ignition now). I think that facility stopped working after v8.011 or so but I wouldn't go back because so many other useful things came later to compensate. Just a shame there isn't a fix for it.

2. This should not be occurring at all, regardless of the map size. The mapsetting.cfg does not get "wiped" for no apparent reason. It saves what it sees & deletes what it dooesn't see. In your situation, it isn't seeing your pois.
