BorisM Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 So it would be on a state-by-state basis? Ah, it's not worth it. I'd probably end up lost in some state that I deleted one day and my GPS wouldn't be able to help me. So back on the subject of these maps-- Why can't we just download the map file? Do the newer map data files require all the other things(inside the ir zip) we need to put on the unit as well? Maps require an appropriate license file to be used. EZRider on the unit works only with Pioneer's license file which in turn only works with maps Pioneer gave us. Hacked EZRider works with any iGO 8 license file, so you can use newer maps until Pioneer gives us an official update... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WeApOn Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Ahhh I see. Thanks much for the explanation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macgyver Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 But you still have to buy (or find) new maps. If you are not too worried about copyright issues, they can be found on the internet in version 2008.10. 2008.4 seems to be the lastest available...or am I missing something?

WeApOn Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I got the ezrider and license file on the unit, but I wasn't able to get the DATA and SYS because it conflicted with my modifications. However, the unit still booted up fine. Will I notice anything different with that version of EZRIDER? Also, why in SYS does it say [device] type="ASUS 63X" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hacked ezrider is identical to Pioneer's one in every respect except for license support... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WeApOn Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hmmm, odd. I got that sys.txt from one of the links in here. Is there much different in the file? If someone could tell me what's in there I could just add it myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobelsteve Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Started a new thread on 3D Buildings as a how to with files linked. Sys.txt and the data.zip are there as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterm69 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I've updated my uk maps from 2008.01 to 2008.07 but both show in the map info list. When I updated from 2007.10 to 2008.01 the 2008.01 maps was the only one that showed. Does this mean 2008.07 maps aren't working? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers i think 2008.7 maps need to be patched to work on (older 8.0.0.xx) igo versions.. from another forum: """iGo8 2008.07 Map Patcher [RapidShare] use it to patch 2008.07 maps to make them work with 8.0.0.49545 version, caution: may cause street search error""" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterm69 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks wenigwiser I installed 2008.4 maps ok, will try the patch later. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daddy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Is anyone able to post the maps for Europe. I know it's a lot to ask but having it broken up and incomplete on rapidshare sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
