Hi John, No this is on topic :) History.hdb was added in the 2010 release which has your last 25 locations you have virtually gone to, GPS starting locations, destination you have set etc. If the file is deleted the system will automatically start a new History file. I am confused where you would have seen the message "can not find the History Database". You may have heard "No History available." This will happen if you delete your History.hdb file and have not set your virtual position or have a GPS position and then tried to access your History list which is still empty, but other than that this us the only thing I can think of which are even remotely possible with what you described. As soon as you set a virtual position, destination or get a GPS fix your History database should be recreated and will automatically start filling up with positions as you set your virtual postion/destination etc. Thanks.

I was putting the new Orange County bus stop information into my maps folder. See, where already back on topic! I came across a file called history.hdb which I would assume stands for history database. Does the Gps maps have such a file? I never noticed it before. the reason I'm curious is that After restoring files to my apex last weekend, I've had to do a reset a couple of times and I keep getting the message Cannot find the History Database. If, the gps folder doesn't have the history database in it, perhaps I accidently put it there by mistake? If so I need to move it and put it where it belongs somewhere on my apex. If that is indeed what I do need to do, in which folder do I put it? You can write me off list if you choose. thanks!
