Navman iCN550 Storage

Hi all

Can someone please help me out?

I have an iCN550 and have uninstalled all the maps with the exception of UK. This should have incresaed my HDD space on my iCN.
I have downloaded and installed the cameras database and am happy with that.

When I open up SmartST it tells me that I have 3.7GB of 3.8GB available for use, so I should have plenty of HDD space available.

The problem now comes that when I tried to install the Motorway Service POI file I found from here:
http://www.getoutguide.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/poidownloads/index.htm

The zip file contains a .csv file and a .bmp file. Both files are only 4kb each however, when I follow the POI installation routine I get the following error

I too have the 550 and have never encountered this issue - but then I've never extracted the majority of the maps off the 550 as I use it overseas. I also have the safety camera database, as well as a load of others running and still show over 2GB available so not sure why you're getting the message you have. Not being rude but I assume you're not trying to have more than 16 POIs active? Navman units may allow 25 on board but only 16 can be switched on at once.

I did a quick search of this forum and found the following threads, which may or may not help. If they don't I can only suggest you do your own searches around keywords of memory, POIs, HDD etc etc.

Don't lose hope - someone out there reading your thread will give you the answer you seek.

Best of luck

Many thanks for your reply. With ref to POIs I have 6 on from the pre-installed POIs plus the Speed camera Database POI so 7 in all.

Come to think of it all the pre-programmed POIs that come with the unit itself total 44 plus the speed cameras which totals 45. Those POIs inlcude things like Airline Access, Amusment Parks, Camping Ground, Golf Courses, College -University, Governement Offices, Opera and on and on.

As I said these are pre-installed and if you are saying that you can only have 25 then the unit comes overloaded already. Did yours come with all these installed?

Some of those pre-installed POIs i will never ever use and it would be nice to get rid of them however, I am not sure how to get rid of pre-installed ones. Any ideas?

With ref to the links you posted had already serached and found two of them anyway which was the install routine and the memory card which I havnt got installed because according to SmartST and from what your saying about you not hitting this problem aswell I shouldnt need.

With ref to the Firewall link I will give this a go and see how it pans out but again I installed the Camera Database without any problems, with my Firewall active so it shouldnt affect it but I'll give it a go anyway.

Again thanks for your reply and help.

Any other help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Oops. I should have said the 550 only allows a maximum of 25 custom POIs. Sorry for the ambiguity. Page 61 of the User Manual refers. My 550 has 44 factory set POIs plus an additional 12 custom POIs I have installed which includes the Safety camera database (spilt into temporary, redlight, specs etc), an additional fuel list to the factory set ones, supermarket chains and RSPB reserves; all downloaded from this sites POI page. :D I have re-checked my 550 tonight and 2.2GB shows as free.

So that's 56 POI in operation at one time, out of a limit I guess of 69 (44 + 25). I don't know how to remove the factory set ones - sorry, but I'm loath to play too much with the software just in case.

Apologies for stating the obvious about searching the forums, but I was aware of other folks who hadn't thought about that when trying to solve an issue (me! - when trying to cut down screen glare for example).

I'll dwell on the issue a bit more and if anything comes to mind I'll post again - or someone else posts who already knows! Perhaps an email is needed to the dreaded Navman support address. Page 69 in my manual.

Once again, best of luck.

Again thanks for the reply. I am hoping someone comes up with the solution for those Pre-installed POIs because all they are doing is taking up valuable space and are so out of date now.

I did drop Navman support an email but as usual, as quick as a flash, nothing.

I might give them another go.

thanks again

Mick
