I have a Finedrive 400 gps. When I turn it on it says it cannot find the card. I'm guessing the SD card lost map info, odn't know why. went to Finde Drive and their updates are $110. Do you know of sites I can get maps cheper and compatible with this unit?
This is a common problem with these units, it happens if the unit is shut off while its writing target="_blank">http://www.finedrive-acc.com/shop.cart?action=ITEM&prod_id=F400-08CP
The other solution was to send it to Fine Digital but they closed their doors in the US so they no longer support us customers. Because of this I made a DVD with map data I purchased from them before they closed and I added much better instructions; this DVD updates the firmware in the unit and loads the last map data issued to the SD card. you would need a PC with a DVD drive and SD card reader to use it. you can find these DVDs on ebay for $18 which basically covers my costs only.
