Sat Nav data gone. HP iPAQ rz 1710

Dazzieboo

I got a sat nav / pda for christmas HP iPAQ rz 1710, I have hardly ever used the pda but the sat nav has got me out of many a pickle. It runs on the Michellin system. The other day, while removing it from the cradle, the sat nav memory card popped out, so I put it back in and now although the system is still installed it says there is no map loaded.

Big problem here, I can't find the software CD. Is there any other way of re-installing it ? ie downloading it ?.

Being my first sat nav, I was quite happy with the system, but it did not accept all the post codes I put in and some names, would I be better off upgrading to something like Tom Tom ?

Thanks.

Do you still have the receipt?
You can always try contacting HP and asking for a duplicate CD.
Why bother upgrade when you have already have a working product? Or just upgrade your software?

sorry, I meant just upgrade the software !

I have sent an e-mail to HP just waiting for their reply.

Thanks

All sorted :j

HP were as much good as a chocolate tea pot, Curry's were not much better

I was overheard by a customer in Curry's as I was getting increasingly annoyed by the assistants manner and stooopid questions :mad: "does it matter if you only have the trunk roads ? do you have to have the minor ones as well?" how dim is that ??, eventually as I was about to storm out, this customer came up to me and had a look as he has a similar one, and the problem was the map had somehow been deleted, but the software was still there, so all I had to do was go to the vanmichelin site and download the GB map back onto the SD card.

Simple when you knew how, obviously HP and Curry's didn't
