Thread: AULRO Subscriber Offer - cheap on-road/off-road GPS units

I have the same software, which is for the magellan units and thought along the same lines, however after a bit of research on the internet a while back it seems that it is not possible.

The natmap and other smaller scale maps on ozi explorer are pretty good, although some of the 1/25000 maps I have are WAY out of date. I like the navigation you can do your self rather than the turn by turn voice nav stuff.

When i got my grey scale screen magellan with the offroad maps in about 2003/4 I thought it was the bees knees and cost me near a grand! Now you can by one of the windows ce units with a 7inch screen and colour for $100!

How is reception if I recess it into the cubbyhole (bit average I'd recon)

Hi Ashes - FWIW, I have the 6" Deal Extreme model (link below) in my D3. I have yet to get around to making a frame to mount it in the D3 cubby. There is about 1.5 cm gap on either side of it.

Looks lilke my GPS is at the post office so I'll pick it up tomorrow.
Anyone have a link to a well setup image for the SD card or a recommendation for on/off road maps?

Just having a play with the unit now..
Managed to find the residentflash2 hidden folder and managed to back it up. You need to go into file manager on the GPS and copy it to the SD card. Problem with this is that the menu items are in Chinese. Would be nice to get them in English.


Is there anyneed to upgrade the firmware? The version it lists is
ROM 82AV6.0D09M21401A.8.2
Software Ver V3.6.E93.10.21
OEM info : YFAtlas4

also..if updating the splash screen, the file name needs to be Logo82a4.bmp for devices with 82AV6 rom.

Does anyone in Adelaide have one of Ranga's units? I wouldn't mind having a look at one before deciding to get one or not.

Cheers,

Paul

After having played with the DX for a couple of days now
- no need to flash the unit as Ranga suggest earlier as you can get to CE via a menu option
- not sure yet if I can or need to update the menu, they are ugly but work..I'd be happy just updating the backgrounds.
- loaded oziexplorerce 2.33a but despite it accepting my username and code it doesn't keep the setting. Googling finds some complex solutions, not sure why it isn't working on my unit.

hi ashes
which unit did you end up getting? Does it have AV-in? I notice the 6" listed above doesn't.
BTW is anyone using reverse cameras from these guys? They seem to sell different ones some PAL some NTSC. I'm confused
cheers

I have one of their wireless versions - doesn't really work as the wireless signal is too weak to cut through all the metal - an using on my 101 so less metal and works OK - will not work on the RRS.

You need PAL.

My 5" gps has AV in and switches automatically when the camera comes on.
