lukappaseidue Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I just d/l new UK map, loaded it on SDC and dropped into 500, and it works. No new licence needed. The rest of EU is there to d/l, 62 files, use link below > http://www.filefactory.com/f/0f1229fb308dd523 Are These maps good even for AVIC F900BT eu version? Could You tell me "How to" put new maps to my F900BT? Tank You Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nacho007 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 The work perfect in my F700BT EW so it should work in the F900BT too. You have to rename the file with only the name of the country and put in the APL2\IGO\CONTENT\MAP folder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As long as it is .FBL and in a correct folder, it should be fine... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lukappaseidue Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Replaced the german map on my f900 but there is no more german map now.What did you do exactly du get the new maps running? the same for me! I've downloaded the Italyxxxx map and renamed as Italy.fbl, then I've overwritten the original one with the new one. Nothing more. Restart system, but now no Italy map? I've to rewritten the original one (come with the unit) to the new one and now Italy map is back. What I'm wronging Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dumpystig Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I've no idea why your maps don't show. I've installed all of them and they all come up. And as Boris says, there's no need to rename them. Just copy/paste from SDC to > My Flash Disk > iGO > APL2 > CONTENT > MAP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've ssen that my original map folder has a file called WestEUMAJOR.FBL that isn't present in the new uploaded maps. Is it important? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dumpystig Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Only used the OTA (TeleAtlas) maps, I'm not sure if the OTM (TopMap) maps will work on the Avic. Besides, with two differing maps installed for the same country it would probably throw an error. I have EastEUMAJOR and WestEUMAJOR, these are maps for Major roads.

AFAIK new maps should only work if you have the fixed EZRider executable and license files. You can have multiple maps for the same country, and iGO is supposed to pick the newest one. TopMap is, I believe, NavNGo's own mapping company, so their maps should work with iGO, but for Western Europe I think TeleAtlas is a good provider. For, say, Hungary, TopMap would be good...

HAAK31 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Confirmed, you need the hacked z-rider, only thing is, this slows down the startup of the f700. WHat is exactly hacked? Maybe one can just rename the license file? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
