Hi Tim,

Love the new version! Coast seems a lot better, I like the increased ground map detail, the new print manager is wonderful, the winds aloft feature is superb (can you feel the 'but' coming!!)

I installed the latest release last week and today loaded SkyDemon mobile (after playing hunt the install button for 10 minutes!) to my GPS.

When I fired up SD mobile it found my UK chart straightaway and started loading it. 'Good' I thought, saves me force loading it from SD mobile chart manager.

I checked Chart manager anyway and noted it hadn't loaded the France charts so I force loaded them.

I then restarted SD mobile, and as it started up it gave a message 'loading UK chart'. With a bad feeling, I checked the chart manager. Sure enough, the France chart was no longer loaded. Whilst it's a simple process to load the charts manually each time I start up, it does take quite  long time for the device to load them, so that now starting up SD mobile takes about 2 minutes altogether (for both charts) instead of around 15 seconds on the last version (where once the charts had been forced they were immediately available once the software started).

Is there something I've missed?

Regards,

Mark

ok 2nd attempt.



- I deleted everything on the PDA and copied it again into a folder called "Skydemon" --> still saying "Chart not loaded", however it syncs fine and copies the license. Maps still would not load or show in the mobile Chart list



- I manually copied "W020N90.DEM" onto the SD card -->restarting Skydemon is now said "loading world data".

Once the GPS was running it showed the terrain level but no chart. The message "Chart not loaded" still showed.

The map only showed userwaypoints etc, but nothing else



So really I am not sure what else to do. The manual on Skydemon is outdated for Version 2 and the Mobile installer does not

exist anymore.



TIM??

Tim will give definitive info. But meanwhile, I wd do as follows:

  • Format SD card so start with absolutely clean card - full not quick format
  • Install SkyDemon from Setup menu
  • Sync card

All should be well with UK map xferred. No promises though!
