Best Uses
"This is an excellent feature-loaded GPS, but with a few stupid choices made by INVION are killing this product. I faced the the two common problems that other reviewers in this thread faced and the following simple solutions fixed them.
1. Unit does not power on.
Solution: The unit has a silver colored key-lock slider on the side of the GPS. If that slider is in lock position, the unit cannot be powered ON. Put the slider in the unlocked position and press the POWER button for a few seconds and voila! BTW, I could power the GPS and start using it by charging it for only 30 minutes.
2. Could not find navigation software.
Solution: If you start the unit without the correct SD card in it, it resets to default options (which have an ERROR in them). Alternatively, if you clicked on MAIN MENU->System->Initial Setup (the silver button on the top of the GPS next to the power button gets you to the MAIN MENU), the default options (with errors) get loaded. If the navigator stops working for you, NOTHING you do to the SD card can fix the problem since the problem has nothing to do with the software on the SD card. However, you can easily fix the problem from the MAIN MENU . From the MAIN MENU, go to Settings->Nav. Setup. This will open a screen asking you to select the Navigation software. Using the round browse button on this page, browse to \NANDFlask\Destinator\ and double click on Destinator.exe. This is the actual navigation software executable. After pointing the Nav. Setup to the correct binary, the navigation software should start work correctly.
These are just my two cents, based on my own experiences. Hope this helps those who face these simple but frustrating problems."
