| Posted by Guest Re: what format is used for the Navman SD cards? (RAW/FAT/FA
I checked both cards for formatting inf. here is what I got ---------------- microSD card: Volume label: NO NAME Type: Primary File system: FAT16 Root entries: 512 Sectors per boot: 8 Sectors per cluster: 16 Serial number: 849A-BC76 Partition ID: 0x04 FAT16, less than 32 MB. Volume Size: 483.8 MB Used space: 450.6 MB Free space: 33.2 MB Activity: No Hidden state: No SD card: Volume label: NO NAME Type: Primary File system: FAT16 Root entries: 512 Sectors per boot: 6 Sectors per cluster: 32 Serial number: 740D-6DA17 Partition ID: 0x04 FAT16, less than 32 MB. Volume Size: 968.7 MB Used space: 937.5 MB Free space: 31.2 MB Activity: No Hidden state: No ------------------------------------- Could someone refresh me on why there are two cards for this? I mean, both cards have map files on them. Could the two cards be matched somehow and that's why people are having trouble when they put new maps on their card? |

| Posted by pan_peterpan Re: Got it I'm not sure that we must put the sd serial number anyway I'll tell you how we can find it and you can try it. We turn on the device by holding the same time for 4 sec the settings button then we choose display firmware information then we look at exmmc ID the serial is: numbers 1,2,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26. Example if exmmc is 27000053443032471190003cfe0073bf the serial is 2790003cfe I hope that helps. |

| Posted by JWDuncan Navman USA Maps F20 I've had some success copying the USA maps to and from the SD cards to the computer, then onto additional SD cards for backups or use in a second F20. Your local Walmart sells a USB SD card reader in the camera dept. for around $10. This works well with most after market SD cards. 2mb seems to work best. There is a trick you need to know. The SD card has a Read/Write Tab on the side. Similar to the write protect tab on a 3.5" floppy disk. But there is an additional step you need to do. Place a tiny piece of masking or non transparent tape over the notch on the opposite side of the SD card you want to put the map data onto. This disables the write protect completely on the SD card. Next (In Windows operating system), click on "My Computer" (After you've inserted the SD card into the reader and the USB port), then right click on the drive ID your reader is using. Select "Format Drive" NTFS. Once the SD card is formatted, you can simply copy and paste the files onto the new card. The USA maps will only work with the F20 US version, it won't work on the UK or European model F20's. The problem is, finding the updated files from anywhere online, Navman, etc. I can't even get Navman to acknowledge the US maps exist, even when I'm willing to pay for them. They are easy to copy and use, no hidden files. But Navman is completely useless on any support at all outside Europe. Plus the maps are not free. Usually $149+ USD for the United States map SD cards, if you actually find any. |
