    Talking PolNav Car Navigator with Austraila Map - TUTORIAL




    If there are any mistakes, please PM me to let me know so that I can fix them.
    Please notify me of dead links as well, I'll do my best to fix it.

    for most of you, it will work the first time, however some of you will have problems,
    some minor and some major. All devices are different and you will get many different types
    of errors. I can't list all the issues here but I want to ask people to help each other out
    and support each other if someone asks for help. I'll do my best as well.

    If there are newer versions of what I uploaded here, please let me know, please dont just say
    there is a newer one, please supply the link or upload it yourself. Thanks





    THINGS TO KNOW:
    ------------------------------------------------------

    1) English voices only
    2) Australia map only
    3) If you get errors or trouble starting the application ask here for help or Google it, because google is your friend.
    4) None of my archives have passwords - I share, not keep secrets.
    5) Don't extract directly to the memory card, files tend to get corrupt that way !





    WHAT DEVICE DOES THIS WORK ON?
    ------------------------------------------------------

    1) Any Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6.5 devices
    2) Works on my Chinese In-Car DVD/GPS system that runs a CE5.0 core
    3) Confirmed working on my HTC TyTN II Mobile, HTC Touch Pro 2 Phone
    4) Will not work on CE 4.2 core





    WHAT TO DOWNLOAD:
    ------------------------------------------------------

    1) REQUIRED - v2008 R5.0 (version date: Oct 18 2008)
    2) REQUIRED - of Australia NAVTEQ2008Q2 (version date: 2008/10/17)





    PREPERATION:
    ------------------------------------------------------

    1) OPTIONAL - Back up any previous versions of PolNav data that you may have (eg: poi's, maps, speed cams, voices etc).
    2) OPTIONAL - Uninstall/Delete any previous PolNav versions/directories.
    3) If your CE device / PNA / PDA / PPC uses a SD card for the maps and software, then you'll need a SD card reader for your computer or laptop or you can plug your device in via the USB to transfer data that way, depending on your device.
    3) REQUIRED - Have installed.





    INSTALLATION:
    ------------------------------------------------------

    1) Extract [PolNav.rar] to a temp folder of your hard drive
    2) Copy the [PolNav] folder to the root of your SD memory card
    3) Extract Map.rar to a temp folder of your hard drive
    4) Copy the [Map] folder to the [PolNav] folder of your device's (folder that you copied in step 2).
    5) Go to file explorer (or equivalent) of your device and go to PolNav folder that you copied over in step 2, now start PolNav with polnav_rm_release.exe
    6) Seems a bit short, I hope I didn't miss anything lol. No map activation required. Thats it.



    Here are some pictures to brighten up your day








    That is it ! Enjoy

    thanks agian, but i think there something wrong with the gps bro, not the map. Do we have to set up the gps like port... baurate...or any things like that, i chose auto funtion to check the port and baurate then it said gps found, then find street... show on the map then lick go and nothing happen, i can only use the demo only, nothings else.

    thanks.

    try getting a GPS fix first, without putting in a destination. sometimes the auto detect does not work, so you have to do your settings manually
    what device are u using ?

    I downloaded it also, but it does not work for me.
    Which exceutable did you use?
    I see there are a few around.
    The map file I downloaded was 129.504kb?
    Does that look to be the one you say worked?

    How did you get the new map to work?
    Which exe did you use?
    Please explain how. I think a few of us are having the same problem.

    Default Unregistered copy of PolNav Australia

    I recently bought a car GPS from China (bad choice of agents). They charged me $40 for the preloade PolNav GPS software, but it came unlicensed. Now they tell me I cannot buy a licence i have to buy a new set of software ($110US!!!).

    It is listed in the unit as Navteq20008 - my question is how I get a licence to unlock it - I am happy to pay a reasonable fee and i am damned if I am going to send them another $US110

    Many thankls

    I have the polnav software running on my car in-dash gps but one thing I cannot work out is the little symbol next to the compass on the map screen that looks like a battery icon?? Any ideas or answers??
