I had to completely re set the app which deleted everything automatically. Then re downloaded my required area. Now to go to the boat and place it on the plotter.

That looks better.

Yes, it should load onto the plotter ok, albeit a little slow as it does all the validation stuff.

Ok so, I've hit a new snag. I tried to load all the marks that @jonnyswamp kindly gave me onto my plotter, only to find out that the sd card no info on it, FFS.

I been home and tried to reload them, now my PC tells me that in order to transfer /copy the files I need user permission? A, whats that mean and B, how do i get round it @GPSguru @Andy135??

Can you take a pic of the message and post it up? Do you have the option to click OK to the message? Is the SD card password protected or locked (is there a little sliding switch on one side of the SD card that has been accidentally moved to the "locked" position?).

The problem is going from the desktop file onto the sd card which is not locked I checked that first. When I try to transgender or send to, it won't allow it. I can't take a pic as I'm now not on the pc and taking L to footie

You might need to log on to your pc as an administrator.

Ok, open the file explorer on your pc. Locate the required ADM file on the card and then right click on it. A context menu will pop up and you need to turn off UAC (user account control) then copy the file to your pc. Once on the pc, copy the file across to a blank formatted card.

I am not near the pc right now, but I think I got that right, perhaps @Andy135 can confirm

Is there any Ned for that? It’s exactly the sort of thing that puts people off posting  and replying to these questions. 

Who the feck is Ned ? ................ I guess it is your imaginary friend 🙄

 

This is your version of fixing tech ...........

Ok so now you have gone from abusive language to suggesting that physical violence is acceptable.
I think that you should go and give your head a bit of a wobble while you reflect on what you post. 

Please remember that what you post on here is in the public domain for an indefinite time frame. I hope when you regain consciousness this morning you can see the error of your ways. You need to go easy on the various substances that you are consuming.
