I don't know. I've not seen any articles from anyone who's found a way of
doing it.
You could try asking the Sat nav company but I suspect all they will do is
try to get you to upgrade all your other disks, at a huge price.
I think this is a lousy business practice (unless you're the vendor) as they
don't give any warnings on updated disks that it'll make all your old disks
useless.
Oh, and if your disk gets corrupted they'll only supply you with the latest
for the full price of course.

I won't be buying another one that's for sure.

Hi Bob,

Yes - I changed the CD from the 1998 version to a later one for a
different region. And after that it didn't work with the other CD's.

I found out that you are right - the unit doesn't work with the older
CD's anymore. I tried with a cleaning CD and it didn't make any
difference. When I later tried with the latest edition of my local one,
it worked - but only after a couple of other goes with the cleaning CD.
So I am very happy now since I won't have to buy a new unit

I just wonder if there is a way to reset the software so you can use
the older CD's .. This is because my CD's for some other European
countries are older than the one I'm using here, and it would still be
nice to be able to use them if I travel.

In any case thanks for your help and suggestions.

BR,
Descore

Hi,

When you say you changed the cd, do you mean that you put a different

Sat
Nav cd in. The reason being it may have uploaded some software and

possibly
not completed properly. Problem then arises that the older (original)

cd
then won't read either. This is certainly the case with Navtech, (not

sure
what yours is) as if you upgrade to a later year then all earlier

years
apparently don't work anymore.

I'm sure someone will correct me if this isn't the case.
Other than that, as you suspect, it's probably the unit that's bust.

Good luck
Bob
