| I got a F20 but haven't had that one, but have you tried to press the reset button on the bottom of it?

Hi all,
I now have the answer from Navman.
This is a fault with the internal memory chip failing. It can not be fixed and requires the unit to be sent to Navman and the chip replaced.
You will need a repair ref number from Navman before sending it back.
Contact them via e-mail reporting the fault, and they will reply. Or return to the place of purchase and they will complete the return for you if you've had it less than a year.
I guess this would cost you if the items out of waranty

|

just a quick add - if navman the company has had a few of these models sent back - i suspect they bought a bad batch of memory chips. Why do companies not post somewhere that it is a known fault and all models with serial number XXYYZZ are faulty they will replace them and aid a good company reputation?
When will firms wake up and smell the coffee?
Ebbs,
fed up with bad workmanship.

| Intresting I had exactly the same error. I traced mine back to overheating. Everytime I leave it in the glove box on a hot day it refuses to boot up. If I position it over the air conditioning for a minute or so it switches on! Give it a try, it might get you out of a spot....

I have Just fixed my Navman F20 internal memory not detected problem.
I used a micro sd card reader copied all the contents onto my PC, then deleted all the microSD card contents and copied back again.
Worked for me?
Make sure the copy has ALL the files (show hidden files/folders ON)
