13.4.3 Restore SD
•
Click “Restore SD” to start the procedure to completely regenerate the SD card in your ViaMichelin Navigation X-
970, depending on the card “activated” when registering the product.
Specify where you want to copy the files to by ticking the “Drive”, the “available size” tells you the storage capacity
of the drive and the “Country (size)” gives the map that will be regenerated.
• Click “OK” to start the procedure to restore the SD card or click “Cancel” to exit this application.
You can see the progress of the restore procedure on the task bar. Regenerating an SD card depends on the map set
to be regenerated, taking into account the transfer speed of data managed by the Microsoft ActiveSync® software.
For example, it takes about 90 minutes to regenerate a 2 GB SD card with the map of Europe.
When the SD card has finished regenerating you should perform either a full device reset (hard reset) or Restore
PND procedure (presented in the next paragraph) so that the regenerated SD card data is taken into account.
Comments:
The Restore SD function does not copy the “MyViaMichelin” folder and its content to the SD card. If you want
to save your personal POIs, addresses and routes you must “Export” your folders from the “My ViaMichelin”
option of the “Content Manager” (for more information, see paragraph 13.1.8.)
91

The task bar shows the progress of the procedure, which only takes a few minutes whatever map set is installed on
your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970.

15_What to do if…
In this table, we suggest a few answers to frequently asked questions:
How can I perform a “partial” or
“soft reset”?
A partial - or soft reset - restarts your ViaMichelin Navigation X-
970 if the application crashes.
To perform a soft reset, press the “Reset” point on the back of your
ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 (with an opened out paperclip, for
example).
The soft reset closes the application and restarts the ViaMichelin
Navigation software.
Comment:
Only procedures running at the time of the reset may be lost (e.g.
the current route).
How do I perform a “full” or
“hard reset”?
A full - or hard reset - restores your ViaMichelin Navigation
X-970 to its initial conditions.
After this operation, you will need to reinstall the software.
To perform a hard reset:
- connect your device to the cigarette-lighter cable, the USB cable
or a power cord.
- remove the SD card from the PND.
- perform a reset by pressing the “Reset” at the back of the device
then, just after doing so, press the ON/OFF button and keep it
pressed, without the card.
- after a few seconds a message and a countdown appear on the
screen. Keep the ON/OFF button pressed down until the end of
the countdown.
- put the SD card back into the PND and reinstall the ViaMichelin
Navigation program.
The device does not switch on
when I press the “ON/OFF”
button:
Connect your device to the cigarette lighter cable or power
adapter for at least 4 hours to fully recharge your PND. If the
charge indicator diode does not switch on after several hours of
recharging and the diode does not switch to green, please contact
your reseller to have your device checked.
During navigation, the voice
messages are in another language:
In the Main Menu, go to Options > General > Language and
select the Voice Guidance language you want.
How do I update my POIs? Use POI Manager to download and add your POI files from the
ViaMichelin web site:
http://www.ViaMichelin.com
What is the difference between
the Shortest and the Quickest
route?
When preparing a route, it is possible to specify that the system
should calculate the journey on the basis of the criterion “Quickest
route” or “Shortest route”.
The “Shortest route” criterion selects the most direct road
journey between the points of departure and arrival.
The “Quickest route” calculates the shortest route on roads
which have the highest average speeds.
For more information, please see Section 10_NOTES AND TIPS
94
How do you go about installing the
DVD-ROM on the PC if you get a
CRC error message when you start
the DVD-ROM?
The device does not recharge when
it is connected in the car:
Check that the cigarette-lighter socket and the mini USB socket are
properly connected and that the cable diode light is on.
If an error message appears when you try to install the software on
your PC, we suggest you perform the following operations:
- empty the Windows temporary files folder: TEMP
- empty the temporary Internet files folder.
- empty the desktop recycle bin.
- check that you have sufficient disk space on your hard drive for
the installation (4 GB).
- create a temporary folder on your PC’s hard disk: for example:
VMX970TEMP
- copy the DVD-ROM into that folder.
- while installing, disable the anti-virus software on the PC.
- click on the “Setup” program to start the installation procedure.
- follow the instructions on the screen.
Once the software is successfully installed, delete the temporary
folder and its contents from your PC’s hard disk.
