Default Trouble transferring file from Cambridge 302

Hi Warren,

There are 2 issues which may be biting you.

- Sometimes PDAs don't notice that a memory card is installed. A soft reset
will solve that. Just put the stylus into the hole on the back of the unit
to reset it before running the Cambridge 300 Utility to download the flight
log.

- Some soaring software can't find some memory cards because PDAs have used
a wide variety of names for memory cards over the years.

In both cases the software should store the flight log in the My
Documents/Flights directory on the PDA (not the memory card). You can use
the File Explorer program on the PDA to copy the flight log to the CF memory
card. I recommend putting it into the Flights directory on the CF card.

I recommend using the Cambridge 300 Utility for the flight log download
rather than Glide Navigator II because the 300 Utility can check the flight
log security, GN II can't.

Let me know if that doesn't help you find the file.

Best Regards,

I'm using a Cambridge 302 with a Compaq Aero 1550 and I'm running
Pocket Nav. I can't seem to see the flight file after transferring it
from the 302. I'm using the utility program for the transfer. I can
see the flight date and time on the pocket PC, I can see the transfer
taking place as it counts the number of blocks being transferred. Then
it verifies the file structure. After I take the flash card out of the
pocket PC, I put it in my desktop PC but I can't find the file I just
transferred. I've tried this several times but I get the same results.
This has never happened before. Any thoughts? Any help would be
appreciated.
