Navman SmartST V3.0 installation error with iCN630

Hi,

As this is a new version of SmartST I am praying someone has seen this error on previous versions.....

I have tried to upgrade my iCN630 to SmartST v3.0 and the unit now displays the following error!

Bootloader 3.09.0001 built on Sept 02 2004 at 13:12:30
Abort,Halted
Execution Address was 0xFFFFFFFF

And now the unit is an excellent paperweight. It won't get past the initial boot anymore.....

Has anyone experienced a similar problem when trying to upgrade their iCN600 series with SmartST v.30 or any other version?

Hi there

If you are still having problems why don't you call Navman ASAP ( like now) on 01293 780 500. You might just find someone there now.

Regards

Doh,

Just too late, they are on voicemail now until Monday.....

Thanks for the number though. I will call first thing Monday......

Even tried to re-install SmartST v2.0 SP 3.... and get the same error.

When I boot the iCN630 I get the USB-PC connect screen, even if the PC is not connected to the iCN630....

I received an email from the Navman Store Support, apologising for their registration server being down and until it is back online I won't be able to install SmartST V3.0.... At least someone from Navman is responding....

Guess its back to directions from theaa.com until I can get this resolved.

Hi All,

I got V3 today - and being adventurous 8O I went for the install - and at second attept managed to register it ok and it loaded up fine. :D

I did try and look at this site earlier as I did spot this thread, but couldn't get in and actually read it! Rolling Eyes

As mine worked ok I'm glad I didn't!

So far so good- not actually used it for real - but the simulation works ok, and does give some interesting routes!

And YES the M6 toll is in :D

By interesting do you mean bizarre ?

Sorry. no, not bizzarre, just interesting!

I did a sim from my house to a place I regularly go - and the old route would be down the main roads (Pretty much the same as Autooute actually!), but with V3 it was taking a much more direct route (I did change the preferences to just off quickest route).

Its the way I would consider going out of rush hour - but it does go to one particularly bad right hand turn. (Not the fault of the software - I don't see how they could judge that type of discission!)

Still haven't tried it in the real world yet - but I am going on a couple of long trips in the next few days so time will tell.

The front end is much more sexy!

So far it does look good!

May i suggest that you try one of the simulated routes by actually driving it. I'd be very interested to see if the two match (unlike V2). It's something that i've been looking for, a match between simulated and real world and if Navman have finally cracked it i'll be getting V3 very soon !

Well, After spendin most of Monday morning with Tech support.... Very helpful indeed. The problem wasn't resolved.

However, I decided to give it one more try from a friends home PC, and Voila...... I now have ST3 installed. It looks like the problem has something to do with other SW installed on my laptop(2 environments) and my home PC....

So I am not sure what caused the problem, but should anyone else have the problem I suggest you try to upgrade using a different PC.

V3.0 looks great, but there are a couple of funnies... the Male/Female voices are really naf, and the POI's have a little bug where you don't have full access to remove POI that you don't want to see.... I couldn't remove Natural Attractions, not matter what I did, unless I chose to remove POI's altogether....

All in all, a great improvement over ST 2.0
