BorisM Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm assuming we have to rename the new one the same as the old .fbl file correct? Not really, iGO will look at all FBL files, determine if you have a license for them, then use the latest map for any given region it has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dumpystig Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 OK, what do I need to get UK 10/2008 map to run? EZRIDER hack? Licence file? And if so, where do I get em? I have searched, but I can't grasp this. Mental block methinks..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 They should both be posted somewhere in this forum Probably in using Euro maps on AVIC thread... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dumpystig Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks Boris, but I eventually found what I needed, think I'm spending too much time on my mods and my head's getting crammed! Dropped Licence and EZRIDER into Avic and now I've got 2008/10 maps running Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dumpystig Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 After thinking about it I reckon it will be hardly noticeable TBH Boris, that's assuming the only difference between maps is actual changes in existing roads/highways, addition of new roads/settlements etc.. As far as I can tell the appearance of the new map is the same as the old one, but that will be down to the skin and theme. Anyways, it's gotta be better running newer rather than older maps, so I'm happy it's done now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maps do not have any appearance data in them. Still, there's enough road construction going on to make new maps useful. Also, I'd expect things like speed limits, house numbers, etc. to be improved with each release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ill.die.trying Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 how would we know if we have the latest DEM files and building files? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frum Roll Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Are the POI files working for anyone? So far I've only done Minnesota, but the POI file didn't work. The map works fine however, basically i looked for a restaurant today near my current location and the nearest one was 40 miles away. I looked at some of the other POI's and realized they were in Wisconsin, so I threw in the SD card and used my backup POI file and all is good again. Would kind of like to get the new file working though, any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dumpystig Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Are the POI files working for anyone? Not loaded mine yet, I'll do it tonight and see if they work for me, but remember I'm in UK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
