    Yeah, something doesn't agree with it - the unit is a ebay chinese 2din cheapie :-



    But all that said, its doing a bloody fantastic job for the price!!!!!

    Anyway so far today I've got the topos for all of OZ and mapsource, mapinstall and basecamp all cracked and working well.

    Now I'm learning how to save/plan tracks etc

    Only glitch so far seems that the program mapset selector causes the system to crash - I think the work around will be to have only the required maps for each trip loaded and active as required for each track/trip. NO real dramas - but some more reading may even sort out the source problem.

    Ultimately -even with what is currently working - it is enough for my purposes and I'm MORE than happy (actully 2happy!!!!).

    So, ya blood is worth bottling mate!! (wonder what the non aussies will make of that!)

    Thanks again for your help - if you're ever on the Gold Coast - give us a call and I'll shout you a beer.

    Hey Hollowman,

    I've got it running pretty good now - even with a selection of the topos - also figured how to save routes, poi's etc (but only on the unit itself - will not copy over waypoints or routes from mapsource).

    Just a couple of little niggles though, aside from the no transfer one above,

    The screen resolution is a bit off as there is a aboration on the RHS - although I'm not the only one with this problem as I did a lot of reading of another forum in relation to many others with the same problem -- what is your screen resolution???? Does your screen have a jilted band on the RHS that belongs on the LHS???

    Lastly - do you know how to set the bloody clock??? mine always reckons its night time and I can't find the setting ????

    These minor niggles aside - it is working far better that I ever thought it would especially for 4wd'ing and its a great bit of kit - even if I did invest a bucket load of time.

    Mike

    puca, dont worry about going into the xml file... the correct one is what the software shows you.. make sure u use the keygen that i supplied with the check sum fix.
    if its a chinese unit, then im assuming its running win ce 4.2 or 5.0
    if thats the case you need to use the other tutoria that has garmin.exe in it (its in my tuts)

    i dont think its the software not being reg'd..... if it wasn't reg'ed you will know about it lol

    this exact same thing happend to my mates PDA phone (HTC Touch Pro 2)
    it was working, and all of a sudden, stopped working... i played around with it for ages... i didnt really do anything but i disabled, enabled, disabled, enabled the gps, changed gps settings back and forth etc.... and then it started working again...

    im going to assume you may have done this already ?
