Hi all,

 

I just bought a second hand WB850F mainly because of the geotacking features of the camera.

 

The thing is that I don't have the CD that comes with the camera and alhough I updated it to the latest firmware  it won't  do any geotacking without the maps.

 

I've Googled everywhere and I can't find a place where to download it from. Does anyone know where can I find it!

 

 

TIA

 

Regards

Hi pg! :smileyhappy:

 

Try this link.

 

It should look like this:

Thanks AntS!

 

I've dowlodaded and followed the setup instructions.

 

Downloaded the maps of Spain (where I live) and Portugal.

 

Rechecked the folders structure and files in them about 4 times but I sill get the same  error on the camera's screen and the photos don't have the GPS metadata.

 

Deleted the bgmap.cfg file, and tried once more recalibarting the compass and restarted the GPS. The same error pops up.

 

Any ideas of what might be happening? Is there a way to test if the camera's GPS is working correctly?

 

TIA

 

Best regards

No worries, Pg!

 

It sounds to us that the GPS is malfunctioning so we'd recommend taking your Camera to one of our Service Centres.

 

You can find your nearest one here.
