For all who wonder why this isn't quite 2GB... The way which this was fit onto one memory card (under 2GB) is that a the POIs bundled are only applicable to the East Coast.
-Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia. All of the maps are there, so as-is, it should work without a problem.
There is a newer set of maps floating around (at least, they appear newer based on the file names). Ironically, the file sizes are smaller. I think they've compressed the POIs a bit better. The maps are contained within a file circulating called "iGO US Canada Navteq 2011 Q4 (2012).rar".
To replace the maps in this file with the updated ones, simply find your "dem", "map", and "poi" folders in APL2/iGo/content - and replace the contents with the ones from "iGo US Canada Navteq 2011 Q4 (2012).rar"
When all is said and done, you should end up with every state, all POIs, and a 1.4GB total SD card footprint. This works so far, so good for me! I've successfully updated my F90BT to 4.001 using enkrypt3d's package - while using the maps from the file above. The unit boots up VERY quickly, and the interface is much improved. It's very fast.
I was going to dump the unit for a newer model, but I think I'm going to ride it out now.
Whatever you do... Do NOT extract and use these files if you were on a Macintosh computer as I was. When copying files, the Mac creates a bunch of ._ files, and this causes the following error at bootup:
fatal error: initialization error:Loadlanguage failed.
If you do the extraction and file manipulation on a Windows PC (or likely, anything but Mac OS X), you'll be fine. The unit apparently doesn't like all of those extra files.

Been a long time. My 700 is still running great with x3. Started poking around here again and thinking of putting the above mentioned 4.01 on. For whatever reason, I have not been able to successfully dl the map file that SuperH mentions. My question:
Since encrypt3d's package includes the maps but not the pois that I need (living in the midwest), can I just use the pois I currently have with the new 4.01 maps? I don't use them a lot so my old ones would be fine if they will work but it would suck to have none. Thanks
cant click on the edit to copy files :s
Using a stylus?

very good question i am kinda in the same boat... ive been loving my 3.1 update thanks again avic forums!!! on my f700!! now i just was curious to see if there was something new so it looks like 4.X + is it! very interested in installing in my system as well... any other words of advice ?
sorry, I think I am still on 2.0 on F90BT, do I need to upgrade to 3.0 to use the 4.01 hybrid firmware ?
Is there no new links? Have looked in every topic without finding any links that works!
Thanks for the detail
I'm sorry if this is a repeat question but I installed the update on my F700BT, and it worked except it doesn't seem to save any of my settings, such as the illumination color or the AV1 setting to ipod. Anyone know how to fix this?
NE1 come across the blank screen with only the menu, and map lights blinking then shuts off? I entered service mode and went to re-load all the software but it's hanging. It says 100% read progress but does nothing after that. Waited over 10 mins. Is my unit dead?
mine says read progress 100% and just stays there on blue screen
hello everyone I hope someone can help me. I would like to upgrade my AVIC-F700BT with the 3.0 firmware and maps but can not find any working links with the files I need can anyone help please.

Ive had to get mine from Ebay, they are relatively cheap and some more current stuff on there.
f920 maps 2015 and update???
Hello,
does this work on the AVIC-F70DAB?
Thank you.
Ive had to get mine from Ebay, they are relatively cheap and some more current stuff on there.
I got mine from here [LINK] and it worked flawlessly. Searched for ages and couldnt find any updates. $20 was worth it as I live in a rural area that was not covered until the 2015 release.
I understand your point but just because i asked a question doesnt mean i have never hacked my unit or i just purchased it. It actually means: i never needed to press the reset button so i never knew were it was.
Until this point the reset button was needed and thanks to you my device is copying the files as we speak
