where are the .ov2 and .bmp files?

Maybe I'm just being a bit dim here...

I downloaded Checkpoint 2.0 and the pocketgps_uk_sc and unzipped the latter. I get 4 folders, csv files, speed zoned, wav files and xls files, and 4 text docs, one of which is Which files should i use, this plus all the other stuff on the forum tells me I need to copy the .ov2 and .bmp files, and I know how to do so. I just can't find the damned things, they are not in the folder. The pocketgps_uk_sc download is version 3.034 downloaded on 31st March. Is it me?

I'm about to let my subscription for my Geodesy (now RoadPilot) lapse so I hope I can get this sorted.

Thanks in advance to anyone who offers help.

Hmm, that's strange. I have five folders, the fifth one unsurprisingly being ov2, bmp.

Just out of interest, what OS are you running on your PC?

Thanks Tim & strumble, sadly on my download I don't get the fifth folder which clearly is the one I need. I've tried downloading it again but the folder is still missing.

My PC is running XP Home. The iPAQ is on PocketPC v 3.0.11171 (Build 11178).

How odd. Want an email attachment of the relevant folder? It's a 72 Kb download as a zipfile.

very strange Tim! As you know the OV2 & bmp files didn't come through on the email either (or should I say my PC doesn't let me see them for some reason) and as I'm currently at work on a different PC I thought I'd try again. Just did a download of the database and the files are there this time. Hopefully now I can get up and running (will try later, haven't got time just now). Very many thanks indeed for offering to help, will give you a shout if I have any more trouble with this.

Thanks Oldie, just tried a download to my home PC and this time I get the "missing" files here too, as well as having got them on my work pc earlier today.

Will try transferring the required files over to my iPAQ in the next day or 2, fingers crossed.

Thanks to everyone who has replied to my query, I appreciate your efforts to help.

Hi all,

I might be missing something but I have read through all the forums and can't seem to find the answer. When installing the database with GPSAssist, I should find two files ... pocketgps_uk_sc.ov2 and .bmp however I have downloaded this file three times with no luck....

I am running winxp and when I unzip the folders, I have 5 folders...

Any help appreciated...

my email is the_seguins@yahoo.com

Thank you.

The files you need should be in a folder called "ov2 bmp files". The folder you download initially is a "zip" file which you need to unzip to be able to use the files themselves. I had a problem initially as the ov2 bmp folder itself wasn't showing within the downloaded files, I only had 4 folders. BUt they changed some stuff a few days ago and when I tried again, the "missing" folder is there, everything is downloaded, installed and working.

Maybe you haven't unzipped the download before you try to copy the ov2 and bmp files? If you have 5 folders, I think this may be your problem. But you say you have unzipped, so maybe not.

My experience is with Checkpoint, so not sure what you do after that as you are using GPSAssist.

I can email the files if you are still stuck.

Hi Norfy,

Thanks for the reply. I am familliar with using zipping files etc, and all that stuff but I might be missing something here. I do have 5 folders, one of which is called a 'ov2 bmp files' folder.

In that folder, I have 12 files, which 10 start with pocketgps_uk_??.??? and the other two are pocketgps_continental.??? however I still can't seem to locate the two files called pocketgps_uk_sc.???...

I am either really missing something simple here or I do not have the two files....

Thanks for your help...
