Furuno GP 7000 Owners
Submitted by doublej on Wed, 2012-01-18 21:38
Hi all
My gps is killing me.
I posted before about purchasing a PC Planner and transfering spots from my computer to gps.
Anyway whatever happened I apparently made my C-Map card corrupt and lost my card and shut down my gps.
I have purchasedd a new card from Jepperson in Sydney and my gps still can't seem to read it.
So if someone in the local area (Rockingham - Mandurah - GP 7000) has one could I come and plug mine in or test my card on another unit.,
All help apprieciated cause I'm going to Jurien on Monday and would like a working GPS.
Cheers in advance if someone ould help.

Hi mate, I have same unit
Hi mate, I have same unit but I live in Mt Nasura, near Armadale. If you don't have any luck with someone closer, you can come past and test it in my unit. Cheers

A thought
Jason, I am not sure how likley it is that your corrupted card has somehow corrupted the settings within your GPS unit, but if that is a possibility at all, you might want to reconsider plugging into someone elses unit to test it. It might do the same to theirs. As I say, I have no idea whether there is any real risk of this, but another option would be to take it to a Furuno service agent and get them to see if their unit reads your card.

Fair point makai
If there could be a chance of that happening I don't want mine unit to be stuffed either. I suppose you could call Taylor Marine, they aren't too far from Rockingham. Cheers

Taylor Marine
The guys up at Taylor Marine have sorted the problem.
Long story but a good outcome.
My card that came from a supplier in Sydney was blank (Very rare for this to happen)
Took it to Taylors with my unit and had them all tested.
Unit ok - Card u/s.
Another card supplied and some good advise from Rhyss and GPS working.
Thanks again to all that have helped.
Cheers
