Navman S30 Reboot problem - quick update

I downloaded the latest system software for the S-series and installed it. The program updates Navdesk 2008 and then offers to install the latest software on the S30. This appeared to work until it asked me to disconnect the SatNav from the PC and wait for it to reboot. There were dire warnings about switching it off before it got to the user agreement screen. Unfortunately although the image update appeared to work fine it then went straight back into its reboot cycle - but displaying the new software version number.

I switched the S30 off and plugged it back into the PC. The installation software went ahead and installed a new version of SmartST 2008, but it made no difference. It still reboots over and over again...

Hi mate,
To fix this problem go to preferences and then go to 3 page and select turn off smartST demonstration. This should fix it.

The problem was that the Navman's file system was corrupt and it was crashing before it got to the point that the preferences could be accessed. In the end reformatting its Flash drive did the trick, and its being running fine every since.
