Manage Community Content no longer appears in current MyDrive (Via 130)

Menace1944

I can no longer access Manage Community Content since update to MyDrive 4.2.3.3625 which means I cannot update POIs. Any relevant FAQ say problem is that software/firmware needs updating but no updates available in MyDrive.

Can anyone help?

Via 130 with software AW not on affected list. Also has 4GB internal memory and 8GB SD card. Problem appears to be change to MyDrive Connect as no recent Via update.

Niall and YamFazMan, The fixes you both provided work. The first method from YamFazMan is simpler and I will probably use this in future. POIs updated without any problem.

Thanks to both of you for your assistance.

Why do developers change things without providing information on the changes?
