Not working too well but not sure if I should put the blackvue folder onto sd card or the files separately from that folder onto the sd card.....will try again later unless anyone knows

Edit.......blackvue file must go on sd card not separate files
Edit........seems to be working ok after a restart

I was hesitating because of the 'If it ain't broken, don't fix it.' rule, but

4) System stabilizing


convinced me. Although 2.001 seemed to have fixed my booting problem (sometimes, the device would hang during startup with the green LED lit) there were a couple of spontaneous reboots. I'm hoping 2.002 will fix this. Installation went fine. I'll be driving to work tomorrow, so I hope I made the right choice...

In the downloads I noticed

BlackVue Viewer for Windows v2.22 (English)

I was still using v2.21 and this had a translation error when you tried to export a file. There's a screenshot in this message. This is now fixed (finally).

Edit: I drove to work and back today. No starting problems and I'm under the impression shutting down is even faster than before. If they can keep this up I'm a happy customer! :)
