Saintly Fish Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Ok, so as far as the app goes I'm back up and working 100%. I had to completely re set the app which deleted everything automatically. Then re downloaded my required area. Now to go to the boat and place it on the plotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it should load onto the plotter ok, albeit a little slow as it does all the validation stuff. Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Ok so, I've hit a new snag. I tried to load all the marks that @jonnyswamp kindly gave me onto my plotter, only to find out that the sd card no info on it, FFS. I been home and tried to reload them, now my PC tells me that in order to transfer /copy the files I need user permission? A, whats that mean and B, how do i get round it @GPSguru @Andy135??

Can you take a pic of the message and post it up? Do you have the option to click OK to the message? Is the SD card password protected or locked (is there a little sliding switch on one side of the SD card that has been accidentally moved to the "locked" position?).

The problem is going from the desktop file onto the sd card which is not locked I checked that first. When I try to transgender or send to, it won't allow it. I can't take a pic as I'm now not on the pc and taking L to footie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, open the file explorer on your pc. Locate the required ADM file on the card and then right click on it. A context menu will pop up and you need to turn off UAC (user account control) then copy the file to your pc. Once on the pc, copy the file across to a blank formatted card. I am not near the pc right now, but I think I got that right, perhaps @Andy135 can confirm Edited May 10, 2023 by GPSguru Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you should go and give your head a bit of a wobble while you reflect on what you post. Please remember that what you post on here is in the public domain for an indefinite time frame. I hope when you regain consciousness this morning you can see the error of your ways. You need to go easy on the various substances that you are consuming. 🖕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the SLT resident retard has been silenced, let us continue with a sensible discussion. Once you have the ADM file working, maybe you need to think how to safely keep it and add marks at your leisure from the pc. Garmin Homport is no longer available or supported, which is a shame as you could use your charts with it, however I have a copy if you want it. Another alternative is to download Garmin Basecamp, which does the same thing but without the charts, you just enter the GPS co-ords, which plots as a mark. You can then save all the marks as a ADM file to a micro SD. To update the plotter, just plug in the card and when prompted, tap the ‘merge’ button. If you hit the replace from file button, then all your marks on the plotter will be duplicated ! Edited May 11, 2023 by GPSguru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF That might not be entirely true. Go to ‘view’ at the top of the screen and select ‘list’ and show ‘file extension’. That will then give the true file type. I am doing this from memory as I am on the school run for an hour or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
