BorisM Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 where are you discover to download the maps for the unit!??I need east europe or ol europe! Google for iGO 8 maps .

brandon7gr Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hello all my friends. It is really nice to be with you in this forum that i just discovered. Well ..i read many topics here in the forum but i want to ask some things before i buy the Pioneer F900BT. I am in europe and i want to buy from the US the US version (it is really cheaper). As i understand right now... we can change the licences to Europe mode and we can do the same with the Igo Maps. By default the europe version came with Igo maps or not? (am i correct till now?) Are there any else differences between these two versions? Many thanks for your replies and nice to be here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akkasoglu Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 yes you can buy a us unit an install european maps on it. normally us version only ship with us maps,but with the newly discovered hack,you can now install any map on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. You mean the hack that is in the previous page with the licences right? Well can somehow get and install the default europe maps(that comming with the europe devices) in US device? Or i can only install maps like iGo or Tomtom etc? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. Once you apply the hack, you can use any iGO 8 maps (since this is what the unit runs). I believe you van find European maps newer thaqn what comes on the unit originally...

ShineOn Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Once you apply the hack, you can use any iGO 8 maps One important note: you can use any iGO 8.0 maps, but not 8.3! iGO 8.3 has different map format and you can't use any newest 8.3 maps (either TeleAtlas or Navteq) on stock AVIC-iGO.

I can't find where is the important thing in this! You mean that from now on i could not update my maps in newer versions? So i just change the maps. The software is the same. So there are no other differences between US and EU model right? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShineOn Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 You mean that from now on i could not update my maps in newer versions? No, you CAN use updated maps and other content on AVIC-F900BT, but please check that this content designed especialy for iGO 8.0. I hope (but I'm not sure) that NavNGo will keep provide updated content for both 8.0 and 8.3, but you should choose appropriate content by self. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BorisM Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Boot the unit in Tets Mode. Open APL2\IGO folder on the AVIC and make a backup copy of ezrider.exe (this is the main Navi program). Copy ezrider.exe from this forum over the one you just backed up. Copy a licrense file (.lic) to APL2\igo\license Copy iGO 8 map of Brazil to APL2\iGO\Content\Map. Reboot the unit. You shoulds have working maps of Brazil now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MadFlava Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 ir.zip seems to be missing from Rapid Share.. the image validation never shows up. Does anyone have a working mirror or be willing to forward them to me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iaf_22 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Too bad the cracked EZRIDER.exe file seems to still have the blue square box bug. Thanks for the crack though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Blue squares have nothing to do with the executable. This is purely a skin issue, and it was fixed in 2.0(1.9 Europe) update as well as by many skin modders here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
