    SQL lite will read the address book. I have not tried to manually use the SQL to make changes to the address book.

    But you can manually move from one unit to another simply by copying the Navi/User/AddressBook/addrbook.db from one unit to another.

    Thanks,

    Outstanding. Thank you.
    Would you happen to know: If I try modifying the database directly using SQLite and corrupt it, can it be corrected by doing a factory reset or diagnostic repair from within the dock software?

    No, be sure to have it backed up manually.

    Well I admit too much rock & roll back in the day has taken its toll on my hearing. I have been running my 520 at full volume everyday and last week the speaker finally blew. I can still hear it but it sounds like,,, well, a blown speaker and we all know what that sounds like. What are my options?

    Contact RM CS, but what the repair cost would be might just cover a Refurb. I suggest you run external speakers from the Unit. There is a jack for external speakers.

    Thanks,

    On a TND730LM, is there an easy way to delete all address book entries in order to start fresh? Can I import a blank CSV file to do this?

    Also, is there any way to add a batch of entries into a group folder... or do I have to add each new entry separately?

    Delete this file - Navi/User/AddressBook/addrbook.db and then add one entry, the DB will rebuild with just the one entry.

    Currently you have to add one entry into a group, but I can take that request (feature) back to RM.

    If you add one entry into a group you can then look on SQL to see how it added it to that group.

    If you wish to E-Mail me the address book file you currently have I can look at it also and see how it looks in SQL.

    The Dock is supposed to be able to import an address book, but I have not figured out the format for the .csv file. I have build a few custom POI's that work with the TND.

    Thanks,
    Mark
