    HELP/What am I doing wrong - formatting Evo SD Card

    Howdy.

    Trying to format my SD Card for my Nanocom Evo, and what I am doing wrong.

    I can get the Evo screen open with "SD card connected to USB" showing, with (or without) the Evo powered to 240V via BBS charger and obviously USB connection Evo to PC, but nothing is showing in Explorer as an additional drive connected. I run Windows 10.

    My SD card is the BBS recommended Kingston one that came with my Evo (2GB micro in adapter) and is not in the "locked" position.

    I also tried a couple of other cards with the same result (Cannon SDC - 32M, Dick Smith SD HC Class 4 8GB, and even the micro SC 256MB that I think came with my original Evo)

    Evo otherwise works well (usually in instrument mode in my car), and can clear faults etc.

    SD card only fits in one way ie slide in with Evo screen face up and with connector prongs on SD card face up (SD card seems upside down not to have the face of the SD card showing when inserting).

    Any ideas? I've already checked the manual and the restricted area at BBS and downloaded the various bits they nominate.

    Just to clarify you're formatting the card in a SD slot on your computer? or with the nanocom plugged in as a card reader?

    When I did mine I just used the computer SD slot and did the formatting.

    Maybe try connecting via another computer?

    No, my laptop does not have a SD card slot, so was trying via the Evo. Thanks for helping.

    EDIT Yes it does, just found it. Will try that first

    EDIT2 - was already formatted and has my original and Jose's MAPS on it Whoopee!
    Cheers Gavin

    Now save those map files somewhere safe before you loose them ............if you haven't already done so.

    Cheers
