Desperately Seeking

[Crossy]

OK, so muggins here has bricked his GPS.

No problem, I've got a flash image from the manufacturer, trouble is, he tells me it will only work from a 256 or 512 MB micro-SD. I've tried it with a 1G, no joy.

After a happy couple of hours in Zeer looking for something smaller (and being looked at like I have two heads), I'm here.

Anyone got a small micro-SD they're not using? I'll even swap it for a 1G card

Maybe you could try to partition your 1gig card making just one partion of 256 or 512 megs.. you cant do it with windows ( without buying some software )

but you can use Ubuntu

I think also Gparted would work too and much smaller download

If you get stuck, ie. no-one in Thailand has one, give me a shout and I'll get one in the UK for you and send it over,

they're about £5

I tried with a small partition (used gparted) no joy

Cheers for the offer Bifftastic, I can get my parents to send one if all else fails. There's a couple on ebay, not exactly expensive so if nobody comes up with one
