BaseCamp communication error if CN or TopoActive on sd card
Posted: Fri Apr 30, 2021 1:22 pm
If I install City Navigator 2021.20 or TopoActive 2021.10 on sd card in Montana 750i, this will lead to communication problems with BaseCamp. Right upon start, BaseCamp will complain, that a communication error happend, some functions could not work and support should be contacted. This error also leads to the problem, that several functions are not working probably anymore. For example, if you enabled to strip all shaping points during transfer from BaseCamp to GPSr, it won't function anymore and despite of the setting, routes with all shaping points are still transfered.
This communication failure happens, if CN or TopoActive is installed on sd card. The Montana itself seems to work prefectly fine, if CN or TopoActive is on sd card installed and can use those maps without any problems.
I tried multiple several different sd cards, but the problem persists. If I remove them from sd cards, all errors are gone and no communication error is reported by BaseCamp. Striping of shaping points during transfer to GPSr also works again.
Note: Garmin Express has a bug and is unable to install on sd card, as it will always (even if sd cards selected) install to internal storage. So I have manually copied those files to sd card.
Can anyone reproduce?
