|
Hi
I have a navigon 2200. We are going to Germany next week so I have downloaded a new software update which includes Europe maps using Navigon Fresh. I bought a new micro SD card as I knew the sat nav memory wasnt big enough. The SD card is 4GB which should be plenty big enough.
However when I put the SD card into the sat nav and plug it into the computer and try to download it says there is not enough space. It doesnt seem to recognise that there is an SD card in the sat nav.
Im probably being stupid but I really cant figure out what im meant to do!
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks |

OR, are you assuming it isn't recognised just because the Update doesn't think there is enough room (the Update should have said how much more space is needed)? If it's this, then I suggest you delete some/all of the current maps first. Sometimes an update is made BEFORE deleting any old data, and the old data only deleted once the Update has completed successfully - so you may actually need enough space for the old AND the new data to carry out the Update (only temporarily of course!). _________________ David

Hi
Thanks for your reply. The SD card does show up in Windows etc, I have formatted it like someone else suggested to. But when I put it in the navigon and connect to PC my device in navigon fresh doesnt show any extra memory with regards to the SD card. Its as if the SD card isnt in it. There is only a small amount of memory available (like 131mb or something) and the download is about 2gb which is why I bought the SD card in preparation for downloading the upgrade.
I cant understand why this would be so complicated just to buy a new map!
At this rate I will be getting a refund and just use my blackberry! I emailed navigon and they said once I formatted the SD card i just need to click download in navigon fresh and it would work but it doesnt
Thanks

Mmm - it should recognise it. Have you got (or access to) another card (2/4GB) you could try? Or you could try reformatting the card again, in case that hasn't worked completely.
Alternatively, you could try doing a 'factory reset' (in Settings/Options menu) with the card in. As long as you haven't got too many 'Favourites' you don't want to lose and re-input, and don't mind doing the language/distance/time format, etc changes again (as it'll be like a new unit).
And in Fresh you could try repeating the 'My System' command a few times to see if it picks the card up in the end - I did have a transient blip with mine a few months back with the card.
Hope for the best _________________ David

hi david
tried all that but still not working. looked at removing the uk maps from it as thats all thats on there but that still wouldnt leave enough space so I need to use the SD card.
So annoying. Guess I will have to phone navigon and get ripped off with the cost |

Suggest you double check it in the Navigon using Windows as it is possible that the Navigon card slot is faulty or card not inserting properly. If Windows can see the SD card in the Navigon but Fresh can't then it suggests a problem with Fresh and/or your Navigon software and would suggest a "Device Restore" for the 2200. If you decide to go down the "Device Restore" route I suggest you first post on the Navigon Facebook page (as I did with my 4350 problems recently).

thanks tim, I did do a device restore as well but no difference.
also tried a different SD card in the navigon but still didnt pick up on that one. phoned navigon again and they said its probably a fault with the actual sat nav SD slot. so in the end just had to get a refund on my download. but my other half has just gone and bought a new sat nav with europe maps on it and then he is going to sell his tom tom and with that money back the new sat nav will end up being cheaper than the download! that doesnt make much sense does it!
anyway, thanks so much for both of your help

Glad to hear you'r now sorted. If you bought a Navigon 40 Essential Traffic I would be interested in knowing what you think of it.
In any case enjoy your forthcoming holiday abroad. _________________ Tim
