I reset my F series,now it tells me

I reset my Navman F Series as it wouldnt even turn on.Now it turns on but says "Unable to detect internal memory,please return unit to dealer". It was purchased off shopping channel years ago. I havent got a cd rom to reinstsall any software as that is only supplied with GPS recievers that support traffic,the manual tells me. I think it just needs software reinstalled from a Navman site free, but I cant seem to locate a free download...Are Navman really this useless at offering after sales service,second to nothing ? Even windows cant locate driver software, so what chance have I got of finding/installing any?

Unfortunately, per C-Net's review page at "http://www.cnet.com.au/navman-f20-339272352.htm#comments" there may not be any software available as that these units are now "obsolete". but there does not seem to be any "free" software at all.

hold it! just found the software page from the company at "http://www.navmansupport.com.au/All%20Navman%20FAQs/Software/F%20Series.htm" for this unit. could not find a "direct" link to the download, but you may have better luck.

it would seem that there are drivers in windows for this ( according to what I saw on the site)

on some further searching, it seems that there is a sd card in the side that may be loose, check that out, too!

Hi,
Not much to do here I'm afraid. a repair is needed. If your device is not under warranty anymore, you can get in touch with Navman / Mio, they have a trade in offer towards a new Mio device

B2+ software update

Hi The B2 is not the device that requires ID updating but the navman F series module, as this is what actually displays the Caller ID. Go to the address at the end i've given you and it'll take to straight to the relevent download page and download your relevent F series download. http://www.navman.com/in-car/europe/uk/Customer-Support/Software-Updates/

F20 navman error

You need to remove the 2 screews from the bottom and then gentley prize the unit apart from teh bottom using a blunt broad knife will help if you cant have the plastic case splitting tools which are used in the trade,

then once apart the same side where the power button is you will see a microsd card its the same as in a mobile phone just pull it down from the top (its hinged at the bottom) then make sure the card is in correctley and then close it back and test (b4 putting the case back on) that will fix it we ahve a lot of these coming in and its where its been dropped etc and jumps out thats it

When I try to update my navman It says I'm not connected and I am?

Hi - yes it probably is a driver thing. Navman's install software apparently doesn't install the Windows driver - you have to do it manually.

I just found this how-to page on Navman's website, and it worked for me:

Good luck

Error message on Navman Navman F Series Failure Unable to detect internal memory. Please return the unit to dealer. Can anyone help?

I have a F20 here I am currently tring to fix.

The error comes from the internal memory card being faulty.
It is only a micro SD car.

It may be totally usesless, or need re-programming via the USB port.

You can download the firmware, and it fixes a working MicroSD card.

If your card is damaged, then you will have to replace it, and strip the F20 down to do so.
Then you can upload the firmware.

I warn you, though.
Stripping it down is a bit tricky.
I replaced this F20 memory card, and put on the firmware, but have a new error, that it cant find any maps installed.

Hope this helped you
Michael
