express upload will not work after upgrade to 2.7

rother

Hi
could someone who has gone to 2.7 try an upload with express and see if they get an error, if yes can they try it on manual as this worked but not express

many thanks

rother - do you mean when you are uploading the new firmware or after installing 2.70 firmware you can't install POI's in the express mode?

if you want 2.50 i have it still on my pc and can email it if needed

the firmware upgrade should work with 'express' download..you might have a software conflict on your pc or the firmware download was corrupt...also a few people have indicated having lockups with v2.70 and have gone back o the more stable v2.5....

Thanks zog
if it was a conflict you would think it wouldnot work in manual mode.
where do you find 2.5 to go back if that is my option

thanks rother

thanks doug, just tried unistal and reinstal the loader program but no change, have to wait for garmin although they were quick to answer my first email.

Re MaFt's POIs - can I suggest that you remove the 'MWay' prefix from the Motorway Services csv file. (a) as it is the 'Motorway Services' file MWay is, really, redundent but more importantly (b) the service station name tends to be truncated.
