Can anyone help me please.
I was using the latest map guarantee, when we suffered a power drop, albeit for a split second.
Ever since I can't get it to do a LMG, nor can I get it to do a restore, it comes up with an error about the memory card. If I disconnect then it boots up with no maps available & I'm unable to access any functions.
Can anyone help me solve my problems.

| Don't worry, problem solved, it seems it didn't like the memory card which may have been corrupted when the power dropped for that moment. |

Yes I do need help!
I've updated the map & the maps have now disappeared, so all I get is no map found message.  |

A Ha! Just found the main app was missing! 
Where it disappeared to I don't know. 
Just reinstalled it now & it seems to be working, just copying the internal drives contents over to the memory card now to see if all is well.
Cheers Dennis for that pointer.  |

And now do a full Windows Explorer backup, like you shudder done before you got into this LMG etc updating game. Then you'll solve this and loads of other problems twice before breakfast.

I did do an explorer back up but it didn't work as the 750 took a severe disliking to my memory card, a 4Gb Cl.4 Kingston.
So in the end I had to reformat it (twice) and then try again. I'm still downloading the second zone of the EU map & getting ready to install that on the memory card.
I object to having zones as the map I had originally was a complete EU one! |

Search the forum for details on how to get the full map instead.
Briefly, you need to re-install your OLD map onto a large enough SD card for the new map. Then connect to Home and it should offer you the single, complete map. |
