Default Bendix King AV8OR - Help Needed

Hi,

I learned from Naviter that I should only need to replace 2 files on my
AV8OR's factory supplied SD card. If anyone out there has an AV8OR they
should be able to e-mail the 2 files to me. Since they are .exe program
files, it would be best if they were either put into a zip file, or their
file extensions were manually changed to .txt.

In the GoFly folder I need the GoFly.exe file.

In the GoDrive folder I need the igo_pna.exe file.

Those 2 files were replaced by files that run the SeeYou Mobile and
ConnectMe applications instead of the general aviation navigation and street
navigation programs.

I hope someone can help me out.

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,
