Yes you've to flash your GPS chip too, work like a charm on my Ride v2
I also tried, I formatted my memory for fat, and for fat32, I uploaded files from the Flash folder, I tried on 3.6.0 and 3.2.5 but nothing happens, all the time the flashing started, I waited for 30 min, but nothing is not happening. Clear Flash has already started 3, I don't know what else to do.
You have to put that flash routine separately on an empty SD card, equal to or smaller than 2GB, at least I assume that you also have a Rider v2, otherwise the internal memory must be empty and then only the flash routine in it place.
But if I check on K3 I end up with an Urban rider and now these just DO NOT have a Sirf Star 3 GPS chip.
To be sure, just turn the TomTom off and on and then hold the button until a black screen appears where you can find all the info about your TomTom, including which
GSP chip is in it.
I have a suspicion that it is a Broadcam Global Locate 2 BCM4750 and then you are out of luck.
In that case you should connect the Rider to the PC shortly before use and start QuickGPSfix to retrieve the latest satellite data.
I have a V3 rider, no sd card, only internal memory, as I wrote earlier RAM 64 MB, BOOT 5.5282, GPS - GL2 BCM 4750 FFFF, Deviceserialnumber = K3,
Even when I connect to Tthome and download the latest update, my rider can't find gps.
I know now, it's an Urban Rider with the wrong GPS chip.
Try my last suggestion and use QuickGPSfix
I've used QuickGPSfix a few times but it still doesn't work.
I'm so sorry, but as far as I know there is no other solution.
But it is stil strange, before I flashed my GPS chip, QuickGPSfix was my solution.
But on the other hand, I did have the right GPS chip, maybe that combination did it.
Thanks for the help, it looks like my Rider has thrown in the bin
You're welcome.
I would certainly not do that, maybe there will be a software-based solution, although these old devices have not been supported for a long time, sometimes there is still someone who comes up with a solution.
The only advice that remains is to see if a Rider v2 second-hand is offered somewhere, if necessary with a defective screen.
I strongly suspect that exchanging parts is possible.
If you can find one with a defective screen, you may be able to check with Aliexpress if they offer a screen there for a Rider v2 or an Urban Rider and whether those screens are equal to each other, then at that moment you have a good chance to use your own screen.
The big advantage of the Rider v2 is the SD slot, up to 32GB SDHC is then possible.
Lots of success with your search
Thats the best Rider ever ;-) Its small and powerful. Just a bit too less (internal) sdcard
This would come up with NC 9.205, right?
This is still buggy. You need to replace the glgps file.
The right one! The file inside 9.501 is the same as 9.205 and does not work.
This is a good starting point. Go to menu "information" -> "gps status".
What do you see?
Better:
Install my NC 9501a on a plain sdcard, add a map.
Let it run, wait some minutes.
Go to menu "information" -> "gps status".
Touch upper left corner of your display several times.
After that connect your PC to the Rider.
You will find files inside the folder "screen". These are screenshots.
Upload one here. (GPS status, not Version information)
