|
|
I was wondering if anyone has seen this error? I am trying to move maps from my Garmin iQue 3600 to the SD card in the device. Everytime I try, I get the following error "Unable to copy DataBase 'dbname', error = 10766"
I have been fighting this for over a month. I've written e-mail to Fugawi Canada but to say that they are slow to respond would be **entirely** too kind. So far, all they've asked is some rather stupid questions.
So if any of you could help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks |

your SD card may be too fragmented, and it may not have enough disk space. For each copy operation you may also need twice the size of the file (once for the temp file, then for the real one). Depends on how the copy operation works on a Palm _________________ Lutz

Hmm, that's interesting. I've never heard of "fragmentation" issues with a SD card. Is there such a thing as a "SD defragmenter" like on a Windows hard drive?
BTW, the card I'm trying to transfer to is a Panasonic 512 mb card. It has ~369 mb free space. I would hope there's more than enough room to transfer the maps that are only currently taking 862 kb and 2.5 mb in device main memory right now.
Thanks for any more insight anyone might be able to provide. |

The storage card behaves pretty much like a hard disk, and when a lot of read/write operations are happening it tends to get fragmented. If you have a card reader for the PC then you can use the PC's tools to check the fragmentation and fix it. (or - much quicker - move the data off the card, format it, and move the data back onto the card)
There are disk defragmenter for the PocketPC - Softwinter tools for example. http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html
I have no experience in the Palm area - maybe they have tools as well... _________________ Lutz

The FAQ at fugawi.de says you should choose names for your maps with no more than 8 characters. Maybe this is your problem?

Good thought. One of them is longer than 8 the other is 7 characters long. |

Oh -- BTW, I just tried reformatting the card as suggested earlier. It had no impact on the problem. I'm still getting the errors. |
