My navman f15 is stuck on loading maps - GPS

Check online type in name and serial number

Hey, I have the same problem, did you find a solution? where can I download the original files? thanks

Forget it. I have had the same problem with a S80 and Navman does not give a damn.
I cannot even load the maps I paid for.
Lost my money. Never again.

There is a 70 page manual. Not that its much help if the satelite signal doesn't kick in.

Get the disk that came with it and load NavDesk on your computer delete the maps on your Navman and then reload them. This fixed the problem for me.

my wife has got the maps on to computer but cant get them loaded onto the navman n40i what is she doing wrong to load to satnav.thanks dave

just discovered that the probleb with display mode is because the maps are no longer loaded? yet on pc the maps are present? anyone know how to sort this out?

As Navman Support told me there is officially NO SOFTWARE UPGRADE, NO OTHER MAP and NO COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER NAVMAN PRODUCTS.... Because F15 is an SPECIAL OFFER for beginners... oh God.... I aquired my F15 in RadioShack.... Will try some inofficial methods.

There are both software updates and new maps for the F15 available at Navman's website, I've updated mine no problem.

I just had same problem while trying to load 2008 maps onto N40i . This I unfortunately discovered once I had already removed the existing maps as instructed part of install.

SmartST2006 isn't so smart! It kept saying I wasn't connected to internet when it was registering my product key' despite it most definitely being connected and I had temporarily disabled my AVG firewall just in case it was blocking.

I found an alternative way of registering the maps on the Navman website where it is required to enter the Navman serial number and the maps product key in order to get a code but that didn't work for me either, it didn't recognise my Navman serial despite having been fully registered when new.

My final (desperate) solution worked - find a computer with Win XP install SmartST2006 and hey presto! It took quite a while to load the maps though.

Proof to me that SmartST2006 is not compatible with Vista, if only they had put a slip in the maps box warning of this possibility.

The 'latest' pan Europe maps which are labeled 0408 actually appear to be 1106
