2.0 was Igo 8.0. 3.x is Igo 8.3. So you should get 8.3 maps. Why use the old ones? Just get the germany.fbl for 8.3 and be done with it. -C

You can mix and match maps any way you like. Just check the info screen on the unit to see what you have installed. Maps are in the APL2 folder, however, not in APL. -C

Did u flash the winceimg of 3.xxxx with uBoot before using 3.x APL2? Couse I can well imagine that you ask for troubles when using 3.0 Ezrider (Igo 8.3) on basically a 2.xxxx system. Just flash the correct winceimg and replace the APL and APL2 folders before fiddling around with this hack here. Ppl should realize that ths is NO shortcut to just get Igo 8.3 running on an 2.xxx system. Also dont use Mods/alternate data.zips before testing basic function. Problems could come from there too. -C

What instructions do you want? That is all there is to it. Copy over the ezrider, the license file and some maps you want to use. Thats it. Of course you have to update your whole system to 3.xxxx before doing that. But that is explained again and again in various threads here. -C

I flashed the firmware from the official F910 update from the Pioneer Website. Used that APL folder too. Later got the APL2 folder from the forum here and the ezrider from this thread. Basically I would recommend using the Wince image from the PLT folder of THAT update you use the APL folder from. That way the components match. I asume you used the factory menu (uBoot) to flash the wince.img? -C

Or you just take a look in the Hacks/Mods subforum. Thats what its there for, after all. And I mean read it. trying that stuff and not knowing what you are doing can produce a brick real fast. BrianF of course set you on track but it never hurts to do some background reading about the matter. -C

I have a EW unit and using it with european maps. Installed the hacked EZRider with global license (together with the Pioneer licenses) and the TA 2009.02 maps. So far everything working great. I also tried the Navteq 2009Q1 maps. Working great too. (switched back to Teleatlas though...) Right now Im totally happy with my unit. If it would have worked that nicely from day 1 I would sing praises for Pioneer. (But being it the way it was Im just not so pissed at Pioneer anymore) -C

h5550 already provided a link. Just do some reading/searching or use some Google-Fu for the rest. Well.. big thanks from me to the guy who hacked this prog! Question: Did anybody find newer EU maps than 2009.02.1 for Teleatlas and Q3 2008 for Navteq?

If you are using it in EU why not use the APL2 folder of an EU unit? With a US image you wont get EU maps working.

Month 10 2008. Compiled for Pioneer in April 2009. But the Mapdata is from last October. For the hacked 8.0 you can easyly have 2009.2 maps. Maybe even newer ones. Havent looked lately. -C I don't understand why Pioneer did't release the firmware with the newest maps Because preproduction and testing takes time. They cant just stick the stuff on their website and be done with it. Why the maps are from last year however, I do not know. -C

Right now its a tough choice: Use 8.3 with older maps or stay on 8.0 with newer maps. 8.3 doesnt offer THAT much more in terms of features and functionality -C

Is anybody working on an ezrider 3.0 hack right now? The way I see it, this is the only way to keep the maps up to date. Pioneers updates do lag behind quite a bit. Any info? -C

There is NO V3.0 Update for EU AVICS there. There never has been! It was just the workaround that is discussed in another thread. (old IGO 8.0 with new APL folder). Clear enough?

Do you have the same directory structure on the Avic (My Disk) drive than before? An APL Folder and an APL2 folder? -C
