EU update/firmware on US unit >> F700

Posted Aug 01, 2009 · 12:10 UTC#1

My US unit still works with 2.xxx firmware + hacked ezrider + Europe Maps + German Voice (no TTS)

IÂ´m thinking now to upgrade my unit.

I know that i can upgrade only WinCE, and use IGO 8.0 with hacked ezrider+newest maps..

My question: Is it possible to use EU Firmware ( WinCE & APL & APL2) on my US unit? If yes, how to do? Can i use the EUf900BT-APL2 from turboboss.com?

Many thanks in advance

Which modification do you mean?

Does your USA-unit work with 3.01 FULL Europa Firmware? I mean IGO 8.3 + Europe Maps + Europe Languages and Voices?

Answer please. Here is another one with the same question... Hope you have a US nav with 3.0 EU firmaware running...

@bataletta ,

* you have an f700 USA modell

*and it is running with IGO 8.3 + Europa Maps (not IGO 8.0 with hacked ezrider)

If yes, can you say me please how did you do it? How about Languages and VOICES? TTS?

I have a F700BT from the US using it in Germany. I upgraded to Fw 3.0, WinCe and igo 8.3 with the US software and downloads. Since then, of course I no longer had navigation working, until the hacked ezrider becomes available. I was fully aware of this.... now waiting for the new ezrider to appear.

I tried several times to load the EU image on my box with no success at all. Before while running on Fw 2.0 I used all the US applications with ezrider hacked, latest european maps and german voice guidance.

I´m in the same position................waiting................I´m using an USA F700BT in Spain...............actually I´m using the 2.0 FW and the IGO 8.0 maps.............but they are horrible, because I can set the always front view for the maps.........................so will be wainting for a new FW for the poors european people who are using the 8.0 maps.............
