Got a small problem with Roadmap. I was using the other night on a long drive and it just crashed, got a Roadmap: Fata Error pop up and no other message then it went away.. I now get the same message everytime I start it.. I tried to uninstall and re-install but it must leave traces somewhere.. How do I reset or restore to factory original?? Thanks
Hello,

There's 2 places that data can persist between installs-
1. /home/user/.roadmap This can be removed with the following command-
Code:
rm -rf /home/user/.roadmap
2. Maps- Corrupted mapfiles are very likely to crash Roadmap. To see if this is happening, rename your 'roadmaps' directory(s) on your MMC(s). then recreate the dir(s) and start Roadmap. If it runs o.k. without maps, then install some maps (either from the sourceforge page or via OSM...) and restart. If it runs o.k. with the new maps you likely have a corrupted mapfile. This happened to me once because my internal mmc, like many was corrupted.

Oh, if it's not too much trouble, before you delete anything, can you post or PM me the last 30-50 lines of your /home/user/.roadmap/postmortem file? It would likely help me figure out what happened.


Cheers,

[edit] Just though of a third place - the trips directory. (/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/trips) A bogus trip could possibly crash the app... [/edit]
