Backup Sat Nav Map Dvd

[overthetop]

How do I make a backup of my Sat Nav Map DVDs?

With the help of my grandson my Sat Nav DVD is now a bit scratched.

I thought I would just copy & burn it onto a DVD+R DL disc.

Easier said than done!!! Sat Nav unit reports unable to read the data.

I now have a set of coasters but still only one working DVD (but for how long?)

Any ideas?

firstly what year of map is it 2005?

ive succesfully managed to get hold of a 2008-2009 map which ive sorted out so it actually works all the rubarb on the net is a waste of time and they dont actually work

been running mine successfully and i dont have the original.

Its a complicated process and you need to have a specific burner speed and certain settings otherwise your wasting your time

pm me and ill give you some details

Chances are, if you're maps are as current as 08, then the firmware on it won't read DL's anymore. Reeves might know a way to downgrade your firmware to a version that reads backups though.

I suspect the only way to do it would be to put in an original copy of say 2005 maps, this would downgrade your firmware to something that can read DL's?

for the moment if the maps in your system are running 2008-2009 maps there is a way to use get them working! but as stated before for the time being there will be no input on the move but everything else will be updated i think the 2008-2009 maps are labelled e11
