Hi Ranga
I intitially read this post in August and was very interested. As I use a netbook with ozi I thought it might be something for the future.
The future may well be here! My netbook keeps losing its boot sector which requires a complete rebuild. Not really suitable for a touring GPS!
So, to save me reading the entire 27 pages to bring me up to date. Could you please advise which is the latest 5" or 7" units to get, and is there somewhere to download your stuff.
Thanks for all your work
FINALLY it has arived:D
PM sent Ranga
Mrs ho har:angel:
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Ranga
we took a trip up there this afternoon to sort out the GPS and Ranga's card reader wasn't playing fair so to stop wasting time he gave us his SD card out of his GPS and will post our to us when it is sorted:D
So thankyou again Ranga
when you come here maybe we can help you sort some of your things out;)
Mrs ho har:angel:

I ended up getting the faster model from Kelvin on ebay... and the instructions worked a treat.
Out of interest guys, I have put a 8GB SDHD card into it and it works ok. This allows me to fit ALL of the NATMAP 250K maps AND Hema Great Desert Tracks with room to spare.
I made an image of the SD Card so if it ever stuffs up I just buy another card, copy the image, and put it straight in... Hopefully I will never have to plug the GPS into the computer again (other than to up/download tracks and waypoints)
Thanks for kicking off such a great thread Ranga..:BigThumb:

Oops!
Hi Ranga,
Just as I was about to thank you for the great work you did to reprogramme my gps, I have somehow opened up WindowsCE showing the start bar, recycle bin etc, and I can't get rid of it.:eek: Is there a simple way to reboot to your settings or have I totally buggered it already?
Cheers,
biggin
On the side where the SD card goes, there's a small hole to reset the device. You can use the stylus that lives in the windscreen bracket to reset it. Also, you should be able to simply turn it off and back on and all will be good again.Quote:

Don't worry about sending another one though as I have downloaded some of your stuff and have most of it is working now.
My only problem is that although I can get into the ResidentFlash2 directory but there are no sub directories there.
Would this be because I haven't upgraded my firmware, got a bit scared I might brick it.
My RomVersion is 7DB82C.YF.F.2.25
OEM Info YFCMMB
Software V3.0.11.18
Your menu works well!! But I'd like to change the splash screen and understand I need to access the ResidentFlash2 sub directories to do this.
Looking forward to your next update!! Does it have new screens for 800 x 480?
Thanks again. Great work!
Which one did you buy? Be very careful if you didn't buy the one mentioned in my first post, as yours may not be compatible with the files you've downloaded!! Send me a link for the one you have and I'll check it out.Quote:
