Welcome to the forum, firstly do you have a memory card fitted to the device? if so its possible the POI files have been loaded to the wrong map folder. If not have you tried Navigate/ To POI and select the arrow lower right to display more categories, do the missing categories get listed if you do this? Finally how many POI categories are you trying to install as there is a limit but its currently over 200 and each category can contain...

Indeed it requires 12v power. It is designed to be plugged in and if it were used in the way you describe then the RIDER's battery would have a very short life.

Yes, that was a new "feature" but my point was that once an issue like this has been pointed out, it then takes forever for it to be corrected, if it ever is.

I dont have a sub (refurb unit so never even got a trial boo) but there is a bar on the rhs of the map that doesnt seem to do much.

Thanks for the help. I agree with your sentiments about using your eyes to their fullest extent. My daughter has got me interested in the subject. She has a flash Mercedes with a built in Sat Nav and she uses her phone to get traffic updates. Like you she does not seem to know and does not worry about the phone costs. For a poor old down trodden under funded pensioner like me costs are much more important. (Now I do hope that all of you are...

In retrospect, I may have misinterpreted what the banner was meaning. It may have meant new maps for countries not previously covered by TomTom. Not sure, now........

Thanks Andy. 2 moderators out of how many? It sounds like a manufacturing fault to me- after all flash memory usually come with at least a 2 year guarantee. So 17 months protected inside and non-removable is pretty poor. The unit whilst booting and connecting to the computer it takes significantly longer to get going and I think it spends quite some time trying to use the internal memory which is possibly partially failed rather than...

I use the GPRS traffic service via bluetooth everyday and find it very good. As I don't pay the bills it's even better. I do also also use Google Maps traffic on my Windows mobile which shows a red or black line for serious traffic delays. The best traffic receiver is your eyes most of the time, as if I see a jam before I join a motorway I go another route.
