Derrick L Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I have just bought a 2014 (64) Fiesta Titanium 1lecoboost. . I don't understand how the satnav information is updated. I have found an empty SD Card packet, but no card. I'm also non-technical with regard to these matters. How do I discover whether the satnav info needs updating and how this is done?

casuk Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Not 100% but id imagine you install a program on your pc download the updates and drag them to the sd, place sd in your sat nav and it should flash/install the updates, you might have to go to settings to do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 SD cards are read only and the only option for updating is a whole new card.Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk SD cards aren't read only. There is, however, a little switch on the side that can convert them to read only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 most cameras use/did use SD cards. (not sure if anyone buys cameras now as phone cameras have got pretty good and no one prints photos any more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not sure if anyone buys cameras now as phone cameras have got pretty good and no one prints photos any more) I use a camera with an SD card. (Nikon Coolpix B700) Every now and again I get a message on the screen that the card is write protected and it's because I've caught the little switch on the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I have a micro SD in my phone for music and other media, same in my Galaxy Tab4.Jeez, I remember having an early digital camera with a Compact Flash card in it.Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgservo Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Yes, you need to buy a sd card with the map, eBay is the best option, you can't move the files, dont work that way. Cards have copy protection is based on the unique CID number of the SD-card. The CID number of the SD-card is encrypted into the files on the SD-card.
