Hello everyone,
I have been watching this thread and finally decided to jump in and get a Chinavasion 5" GPS. I purchased the software here.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/322468537410?rmvSB=true. First problem I noticed was even though the ebay listing says "Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item" the memory card arrived in a regular envelope with no packaging or documentation, So that may be the problem. I made a backup copy of the memory card and then installed it in the GPS. Following Uncle Phil's directions I selected the navigation path and then pressed the navigation icon. Nothing! I pressed it a second time got a pop up message "Warning the application failed to start last time. Do you want to reset to factory defaults and lose all your POIs, tracks and settings?" I tried selecting both Yes and No with no effect. I made sure the Resolution was set for 800 X 480. The sys.txt looks very complicated so I renamed it and substituted a simple one that I saw here on this thread that was no help either.
Any ideas besides a problem with the software? Any recommendation on where I can buy a "real software package" the link to the GPSMapStore.com doesn't seem to be a link to a store but rather a menu for other links and advertisements or am I missing something there
I was hoping to get this going so I could try it out on my trip to Moonshine next week but time is running out for this. Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
Mel
