LonestarROB Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Using the SD card is out of the question for me. I have me entire CD collection stored on it instead of having to carry discs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zf4 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 pardon the noob question , but what is "DEM"? I downloaded the maps from here but i never got around to updating them. I notice the size is different between the two (not to mention i cant find "DEM"); are the ones that dragon24 posted different (and intended for F series specifically)? Thank you.

The airman Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Help a new guy out PLEASE !! I just bought a F700 and it was really out of date. So I bought a "repair" off of ebay and it went perfect. It came with instructions, and I learned how to get into test mode with the series of up, downs on the volume knob. I then copied and pasted the files on the included SD card as the instructions said and it brought me up to Version 3.000300 and Map Version 02.000300 with the 2009 map data. It helped alot!! The problem is in my area (Pittsburgh) the highway and exit numbering has changed recently. Exit 59 is now exit 1, and I-279 is now I-376 for example. So I downloaded the 2010 maps from the torrent at the start of this thread, and the ez rider file. Does anyone have a step by step? I need to see if the 2010 maps have updated info for my area. Do I follow the same copy and paste method as I did in the last update? What does the ez rider file do, and do I need it? I'm learning and new, but I am seeding the torrent with Vuze. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragon24 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 @ The airman Copy and paste the LICENSE folder & hacked ezrider.exe in the root of your iGo folder. You need them to run the new 2010 maps. With out them the 2010 maps will not work. My Flash Disc APL2 iGo... Place in this folder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dragon24 Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Here is the 2009 map install. It will help you with your install and should cover all your questions. Please remember that you only got new maps & pio's. so dont delete all the content in your folder in step 7. also make sure you backed up your unit before you start playing around. http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/25474-how-to-complete-ta-20096-map-upgrade-guide-please-sticky/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The airman Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Ok, loaded in the "new" map and POI for Pennsylvania. Went to the About-Maps screen and verified that it did say "Teleatlas 2010.06", and it worked. But sadly the update does NOT include the latest road data for a major US city (Pittsburgh). Our highways and exit numbers all have changed. This happened about a year ago. Even Google Maps show the latest changes. Keep this in mind if your road data has changed in your area recently. I think it sad that a multi-billion dollar company like Pioneer can not even keep up with Google Maps for their own $120 map update. Oh well, maybe the 2011 or 2012 update might include road data from 2009 !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You do know that Pioneer has nothing to do with the maps, other than paying for a redistribution licence and packing it on an SD card for retail, right? If your maps are wrong, complain to TeleAtlas or Navteq, they're the ones that make the maps. http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com http://mapreporter.navteq.com Have at it.

Great link. Thanks !! You know what? The map data is correct with the correct highway signs here on the link you posted. The date 2008 is down at the bottom of the map on the site. But yet the map data on my F700 with the 2010.06 maps is wrong. I wonder what gives? I wonder if the upgrade on my F700 did not take? I noticed the base map date in my device is still 2007. I wonder?

I would like to know this too. Noticed this got uncommented. Can anyone say what the "DEM" files do? Looks like they go into CONTENT/DEM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragon24 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 It looks to be the Digital Elevation Map. It might be used for the 3D part of the nav i dont really know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
