Hello, I bought a PDA complete with GPS and Tomtom navigator 6. I use the ''change home'' icon and select my address. It is really easy to do. I change my preferences and again it really easy to do. I add a few 'favorite' and again it is so easy to do. When I do this there is a black window at the to right that says the 'favorite' is saved or the new home is stored. The problem lies when I turn Tomtom off, all my changes are lost. I have quite a lot of memory left in 'memory', in 'programs' and in the storage card. How do I go to really save my preferences, my hom, my favorites? Thanks JC

The favorites are stored with the map. When you update the map, you overwrite/delete the favorites. Here is the solution... http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=1&PID=1954&SID=0&CID=215&Language=4&FID=5655
SOURCE: No route found
I recently had the same problem for the first time after owning my GO510 for about a year. I was navigating to a place about 1 hr away in NJ. I setup destinations for my wife using google maps using lat/long. When I put it in the tomtom, it correctly identified the street. It started planning the route, finished processing and gave me the error message.
I tried:
entering Lat/Long
entering cross streets
picking a point using TomTom's map on the unit
reformatting my card
getting the latest software from TomTom Home
even using the GUI in TomTom home to plan route ( GUI is very slick )
Nothing helped the problem
I couldn't really get rid of stuff on the card to get more space because the included maps of US/Cananda take up most of the space. I was able to plan a trip to an address in MI over 10 hours away, so I don't think it was processing or memory that was the issue.
Work around.
I found a neat feature "Itenerary" which was on the TomTom home GUI but not on my TomTom??? maybe hidden by default. When I went to preferences on the unit I said show all options. Using the itenerary, I picked about 4 locations on route to where she needed to go. This was great because I determined what I thought was a better route anyway. I did this on the TomTom home interface and it was much easier than using the unit's touch screen. Personally I hate having written directions that don't match what Tomtom suggests. Each point was set as a "way point" and only the final location was a destination. I asked it to plan the route using the itenerary. It echoed back that the first stop would be my final destination. AND.... it was able to plan that route.
Of course. this doesn't help if you are in the middle of nowhere and need to just give a final destination, but with a little luck, you might be able to use the touchscreen and set a way point somewhere in the middle of where you are going and actually get to your final destation.
Good luck.
