Fixing GPS navistar or other china brand

Accessing your GPS from PC:

1. connect your GPS to your PC using the usb cable

2. boot up your GPS, during the booting PC might not recognise it

3. after boot up, PC will recognise it as HDD external drive

4. if still PC does not recognise it, then check if external SD card is in your GPS

5. remove the external SD card

6. reboot the GPS

7. in windows you can copy/delete/move file in GPS (or flash) to your PC

8. you can update map, by accessing the navistar website and donwload the files there, then replace the files in your GPS with the new downloaded one.



Problem GPS signal can not be found, the question mark is in the satelite icon:

1. go to advance setting - system status

2. ensure you have 4 blue bar signal there, red signals meaning the satelite is detected (otherwise it wont be there), but the gps get low signal.

3. after you move to better position, if the signal is still weak, try to change your navigator path to different papagom com baud/rate to another ones, example in my case after i change to papagoCOM2_4800 is better than papagoCOM5_4800.

note : access navogator path by going to main menu (home icon), or exit first if you are in navi mode. then go to navigation setup icon, then choose the path there.

4. if still can not, then try update your maps using above instruction

5. if still can not, then it means your gps broken.

Multi maps on your GPS

Copy the maps folder (contain many files), example "indonesia-xxx-xxx" from your PC to the GPS "/flash/navi/maps/   "

reboot your GPS, and now when u navy and go to advance setting, you can switch maps in "maps options" from your original maps to your new maps.

Note that : GPS X5 can not locate maps stored in the external SD.
