Default Bendix King AV8OR - Help Needed

Hi,

Are there any glider pilots out there using the Bendix King AV8OR unit? I
ask because I need help getting my unit's supplied SD card back to its
original configuration.

It is a great product! I have been testing it with SeeYou Mobile for PNA.
You can see my review of it he

However, when I installed SeeYou Mobile onto the SD card that was supplied
with the unit, it overwrote a bunch of settings which are required for
running the unit's built-in general aviation navigation and street
navigation software. I am trying to get support from the company I
purchased the unit from, but unfortunately Bendix King does not seem to
allow customers to contact them directly. I just need to download and
install a new set of files onto the SD card. Their web site FAQs imply that
I would need to get a new SD card from my dealer for $169 or so. The high
price is due to the fact that it includes maps of the Americas. It seems
ridiculous to me that I can't simply download the files to the SD card and
move on.

I should have installed SeeYou Mobile onto a different SD card. I made the
poor assumption that the Mobile installation would not affect the files
already on the card. When I install the Mobile files onto a different SD
card, it work great. But I would like to get the built-in features working
again.

Best Regards,
