 Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2011 3:15 pm Post subject: New Sat Nav am i ok to down the database |
 |
|
Hi all
Sorry if this sounds a bit" thick" i am staying with friends down south at the moment have purchased a new sat nav a different make so ill will be updating both from the site.i understand thats ok as 3 sat navs same house are allowed.
My question is i want to install the database on my new sat nav before returning home,so i will be using a laptop owned by me to do that.
On returning home i would then be using my desktop as i normally do to update the cams.
Is it ok to do the update via the laptop, as i dont want it to seem i am abusing the system. |

It's perfectly OK. You do it using your pgpsw identity, not your computer identity.

Do the words BACKUP and BACKUP mean anything to you?

Yes, as in "Affirmative". I was concerned you might forget if you're on the laptop.

Probably from DennisN as he is always banging on about it  (Quite rightly too). Shame everyone does not do it though  |

No, no, I can't claim that honour! It was this site which told me to do backups. My oldest backup is December 2006, a GO710, but back before then, Tom Tom devices were reliable.
I bet MikeAlder has backups a lot older than that! He's probably got a backup of the one that Noah used.

May 2006 is the earliest PND backup still on the system, prior to that I used PDA software TTN3 then TTN5.
As for the back up from the unit that Noah used, I got fed up with the map as there was nothing but a blue screen, even the built in POI files marked "Dove Landing Point" were under water so I got rid of it  - Mike |

My computer does that sometimes. Does that mean that it came from the arc as well  |
