FineDrive 400 software upgrade problem

Hi,

I've downloaded the instruction, the install data and
the map data and followed the instruction to intall
the software and map upgrade. However, I kept getting
the map incorrect version dialog pop-up. I don't know
what else to do. Do you know how or have the
instruction to go back to my previous version before
performing the upgrade? I've backed up my SD card
before the upgrade.

Thanks

You may be able to restore the old system, there should be an update program on the original sd card. to get to it you have to run windows ce by holding the lower right key (i think) while booting...

How to update gps finedrive 400

one solution is to visit C&C wireless and pay over $100 for a map update or even send them your unit for even more $. see http://www.finedrive-acc.com/shop.cart?action=ITEM&prod_id=F400-08CP

The other solution was to send it to Fine Digital but they closed their doors in the US so they no longer support us customers. Because of this I made a DVD with map data I purchased from them before they closed and I added much better instructions; this DVD updates the firmware in the unit and loads the last map data issued to the SD card. you would need a PC with a DVD drive and SD card reader to use it. you can find these DVDs on ebay for $18 which basically covers my costs only.

Finedrive 400 error.

the issue may be compatability, some of the early AV versions do not work with this upgrade, Also, the site I posted these at put new limitations on file sizes and types and I can no longer post these online.

The map data

sure did, the site also changed its policies. I have instead started lising the upgrade DVD cheap on ebay. it has the upgrade files, map data and instructions... and its cheap. finedrive used to send you to a site that charged $150 for this upgrade... now they are gone..
