The SD card supplied with my unit had a .txt file called "addons" - opening this showed "modules" then a line starting with "NAVIGATE" then a command line. Putting the SD card in put a "NAVIGATE" icon on the screen. I changed it to two lines - one called "SKYDEMON" and the other "WINCE-EXP"- both work fine. You could just make a .txt file in notepad - but we need to know how your unit puts it's "navigate" or such like icon on it's screen. Copy and paste the .txt file/files on your next post and we will see. Have a look at the roadmap SD card and the FMS SD card - post both. Regards Alexander

Group: Forum Members Posts: 29, Visits: 57	Hi Jodel, On the FMS SD card is there a .txt file ? On my car gps the SD card for the road maps had one. In that .txt file was a line that put the "navigate" icon on the screen. With advice I put a similar .txt file on the SkyAngel SD card. Two lines - one for SkyAngel to start and another to go into windows ( CE ) explorer - straight from the main screen. Alex

Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 15	I am trying to run SkyDemon on a Navman S50 GPS. The software is for a car GPS and does not give access to Explorer. I have been using Pocket FMS for flying and they have a method of creating an SD card that boots the Navman straight into their programme. Does anyone have a way of running SkyDemon on this type of device.
