4. If none of this works, the data is probably not recoverable or not displayable in
MobileMapper Office. You should reformat the card in the receiver by pressing
MENU > Card Utilities > Format Card. Then record a short test job to see if
the problem persists. If it does persist, the card may be physically damaged and
should not be used.
5. If the problem persists with other SD cards, the receiver is defective and should
be repaired by Magellan. You may obtain a Return to Manufacturer Authorization
(RMA) at http://pro.magellangps.com/en/support/rma.asp.
B. Before logging data:
1. Use only SD cards with 128 MB of memory or less. Using 256 MB cards can
cause keystroke errors leading to data corruption.
2. SD cards from different manufacturers may be formatted in different ways. Please
format all new SD cards inside the MobileMapper Pro receiver before logging any
data to it. To do this, turn the receiver on and press the MENU button. Press the
up arrow twice to the Card Utilities option and press ENTER. Select the Format
Card option. Note: this will delete all files from the card. Magellan recommends
that you reformat the SD card before every project or on a monthly basis to help
prevent problems in the future.
3. Make sure you are using the latest version of MobileMapper Pro receiver
firmware. The current version, 6.56, is available for free download from
ftp.magellangps.com
folder.
4. Make sure you are using the latest version of MobileMapper Office. Version 3.40
is available for free download from the /Mobile Mapping/MobileMapper
Pro/Software/ folder of ftp.magellangps.com. If you have receiver firmware
version 6.56 and certain older versions of MobileMapper Office, you won't be
able to download the data into MobileMapper Office.
5. Before you start a new project, you should always reset the receiver according to
the instructions in Step A1.
6. Before creating or opening a job, press the NAV button until you come to the
Position screen and can confirm that the receiver has calculated a position.
C. While logging data in the field:
1. If you select the option to record data for post-processing, let ALWAYS close any
open feature and then close the job before turning off the MobileMapper Pro
receiver or removing its batteries.
