But can it be updated though?

The basemap I have, from the megaupload links here somewhere, has an edit date of 8/2008. The state maps are all edited in 6/2008. Download the files here and your basemap should be updated.

Yea but whats it say on your system? Basemap still say 2007.7 and the other maps 2008.xx.

I'm not completely sure i even like the new maps. I've already noticed a few things that are on the 2007.xx maps that came on my system that are NOT on the 2008.4 maps.

I believe the basemap comes up as 2008.04 But I only checked once, I don't remember seeing any 2007 maps in there when I checked the deck. Surpirising things are missing from 2008 over 2007, roads or interest points, landmarks or buildings?

any idea where to get part 13 rar? - the download link no longer has the file (says it's been remover or violated tos).

I managed to get parts 1-12, just need #13

thanks

**removed**

link will be up for a day or so then im pulling it down

thanks - downloaded

you can remove the link . . .

btw, do I need to rename it before unzipping? - don't want to corrupt it

thanks again!!!

There is also a Part 14 here:

Part 14? Is that only for outside the US?

Please do check again. If it is, Interested to know how i could get it. As far as things missing in 2008.xx , I've only noticed a couple water ways so far but i've not gone very far yet.

Part 14 had only POI for WV, Wy, and wisc.

I did check again and it does say 2007.07. So I guess I overlooked it. I would however tend to believe it doesn't matter if indeed it is a file that just connects the maps together. Here in Florida, it seems the new maps have updated some waterways for me, canals to be specific.

Since I'm having problems downloading the 2008.4 maps I decided to ask Pioneer to send them to me (since my unit is only 1 month old I told them I expected them for FREE) and I received the following replay,

"Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.

Actually, the maps of your navigation is 2007 to 2008 maps. And the map upgrades for this models are not available yet. Once it's released it will cost something, as the upgrade did for other navigation units.

Thank You,

Customer Service Representative"

This has me confused. Do the 2008.4 maps work with the F700BT? I don't know why map data would be model specific...???

There are no official map updates yet, the ones we are all working with are from igo nav n go, but are from the handheld portables.

So by definition pioneer won't acknowledge they even exist since they do not have a program for them.

I don't really believe anyone has a unit that shipped with the newer 2008.4 maps. If there were updated maps available or shipping they would allow them to be purchased and tell everyone there is an upgrade.

OK, this makes sense. Typical of Pioneer to have new maps available and delay putting them into their product until hundreds of units with outdated maps are sold, then selling new maps! What a rip off!

Actually, no. Pioneer does not have anything. There are no iGO format maps licensed to work with stock AVIC software newer than what you got.

There _are_ newer maps somewhere out there that were sold with something else entirely, and that Pioneer has not licensed.

Ok, so I used CMH 928 mod to install the 2008.4 maps that I downloaded (I got all 13 rar's). I extracted them all, combined them into the appropriate folder (POI, BUILDING, Map), put them on my SD card, put that into my unit, started it up and waited as it transferred all the files. After it finished copying everything, I restarted the unit and the music came on and it had the System starting up message please wait, so I did, it kept that up for a little bit, then it restarted. I let it do that a couple of times and each time it would restart.

So the next thing I did was replace the POI file (copy and pasted them in) and it did the whole start up, restart. I then replaced the buildings with the originals included in CMH 928 mod and it started up, then restarted. I then went back to the original maps (from my original backup) and everything works great!

I think that it has something to do with the maps I have... Any thoughts?

Did you copy licenses and hacked EZRider over as well?

I did, the ones that came with CHM 928 mod and I tried the ones on page 2 of this thread (the ir.zip link). Same things kept happening.

There is one thing, when I downloaded the files and extracted them, i did receive several errors (mainly some of the maps had 0kb - it appears to only have been the ones that were first listed in the next file - going from 1 to 2, the first on listed in two would be a repeat of the last one in 1, but it would be empty - make sense?). By going through them all, I was able to get all the maps - for a total of 814 MB - roughly. The POI - 401 MB. Buildings - 49.8MB. Does that seem about right for file sizes?

The Ezrider was 5.27 mb - modified on 11/13/08 - with a key of [email protected]

The other EZrider i tried was the same with a key of Asbis_PNA_EEU@0807_(NNG+TA,_WEUMRE)_ASBISGPS450.lic

By the way - f700BT

Continuation - tried just using the updated POI's and that also caused it to continously reboot (after the music started and the system starting up please wait message displayed).

I'm at a loss...

Oh that sucks man, did you load all the new maps or just some of them, also make sure you have a hacked mod and ezrider file...

I had the same prob. What i had to do to fix was format the SD card in fat, re-extract the maps from the 13 rar files to the sd card and then reinstall them back on to the avic. For some reason though i do not have the hacked license just the hacked ezrider and they work fine now.

Good luck

I'm not sure that my map files are correct... My 13rar only had files in the POI folder, none in the MAP and Building folder... Ugh

the maps would be in the ther parts, (part 1, 2 etc)

I figured it out! I don't know how many times I read the post saying you have to update the file name for rar13 for the underscores... Duh... I hadn't done that, so when I extracted the files, I was getting errors, I thought I had gotten around them because I was able to find all the maps/pois for the states that had data in them. Boy was I wrong. As soon as I updated the name of 13rar, extracted everything and transferred them to the unit it worked beautifully!

Thanks everyone for your help!

I have a question, are the 13 rar files the same thing as going to the igo8 website and downloading every map/poi/3d building file individually?

please post the 13 rar again, thank you.
