Icon "greyed out"

I realise my unit is no longer supported, but still gets me from A to B without problems. But, My very trusty GO 700 has decided to "grey-out" the "my location" facility.
I've often used this in the past.
I recently had a passenger & was extolling the virtues of my ancient TomTom. Then I went to show how I can save my exact location by tapping the relevant icon, that's when I realised it was greyed out. I have tried a factory re-set, but to no avail.
Thanks in anticipation.

Try workaround by dhn,,, Edit...
Important... the version number used in the example may/will change over time
Substitute the version number in the example with latest version number
Maybe future proof it, use something like Version=2.99.99.999

Apart from getting it back, which appears to be beyond me, why/how can it just become greyed out? What control does TomTom have over my device when I'm not connected to TomTom Home etc.
NONE WHATSOEVER! Your problem is nothing to do with TTHome because this is just manifesting itself when you're driving along so (with respect to the previous posters) ignore all references to End-of-life/TTHome etc.
May I suggest a couple of things to try, firstly, I'm assuming you DO have a GPS fix, try either holding the power button down until you hear the drum roll & then release it (a soft reset) or "Factory Reset" (which is one of the menu icons on your device) or connect your device to the PC, cut/paste your mapsettings.cfg file from the internal memory to the PC and see if that helps. Let us know how you get on as these good old clunkers are worth keeping going if possible (like us oldies)
If all else fails then you need to reload the correct/current navcore (application/software) from here http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/navcore/navcore_7.903.9183.go700.cab
or get someone else to help if you're not computer savvy?
Sorry guys, but honesty, by owning up, is the best policy.
Cheers.
At least you're a happy old man again & can continue to extol the virtues of one of the all time best TT's which certainly can't be said of the newer generations for sure!
