  I have the command list of IGO below:
  
  TILTDOWN
  
  TILTUP
  
  SWITCH_MAP_COCKPIT
  
  ROUTEINFO
  
  FIND_ADDRESS
  
  PUTPINTOGPS
  
  ZOOMIN
  
  ZOOMOUT
  
  ZOOMIN_DISCRETE
  
  ZOOMOUT_DISCRETE
  
  ROTATELEFT
  
  ROTATERIGHT
  
  MOVELEFT
  
  MOVERIGHT
  
  MOVEUP
  
  MOVEDOWN
  
  FOLLOW_OR_ANNOUNCE
  
  MAINMENU
  
  MINIMIZE
  
  VOLUMEUP
  
  VOLUMEDOWN
  
  TOGGLEMUTE
  
  MUTE
  
  UNMUTE
  
  BRINGMAPTOTOP
  
  GOTOHOME
  
  PREVSCREEN
  
  SETTINGS

  
  

  I map the M key to FOLLOW_OR_ANNOUNCE, so when I press it, it will tell me the route instruction again.

  Also I change the IGOPATH.txt to

  
  

  [modules]
  
  Settings = “icons\settings.bmp”, “settings”, 1
  
  Multimedia= “icons\media.bmp”, “Multimedia”, 0
  
  Explorer = “icons\files.bmp”, “\\Windows\\Explorer.exe”

  
  

  …..

  
  

  Now explorer will always available in the front.

  More, to change the voice you like, take a look in “Flash Disk\data.zip”. Under “ui\settings” there is a lang.ini file. You can edit it to fit your way
  
  For example, I use English US as the language but I will like to use the UK female voice as the guidance. So I edit that lang.ini

  
  

  ….
  
  [languages]
  
  lang = “english US”, “ui\settings\flag_usa.bmp”, “English (US)”, “english_m1_us”

  
  

  I change it to
  
  lang = “english US”, “ui\settings\flag_usa.bmp”, “English (US)”, “english_f1_uk”

  
  

  Now I can enjoy the voice more while still using the US english as the language. Even though I don’t know what’s the difference between US and GB English.

Get the world maps, all license.db and myguide.exe crack from this forum

Raymond - the number I have for tech support for North America is 866-217-9887. (You might have trouble getting to talk to someone as I think it’s a one man office! - just keep calling).

I did not have to return the old SD card.

Marcel - Just go to the GPS data screen (touch the little satelite dish), and then select ‘Time Sync’ in the top right corner. Then make sure ‘Auto Correction’ is on, and then set your local time in the PDA field. The unit will then remember your local time correction. (Make sure you have a satelite time signal first).

Yes the update for the MyGuide 3000 does work on the V7. Basically, what it does is remove the date and time stamp that is on the main start screen. I imagine that they did this since the time was so messed up anyway, why bother showing it at all.

It appears that after you start the navigation, the time will eventually get updated to the correct time zone as long as you have provided the correct time zone in your settings screen. It switched a couple of times for me +- an hour but after a few minutes, it finally got it right.

The one thing to know is that after you install the upgrade, you will have to re-patch your V7 if you want the M button to go back to the main menu again.

At least this helps a little.

Now, where are those new maps and POI’s?

Dave,

Good observation as to the Hotfix title being in German as well. I guess that I wasn’t paying attention to that one. :-)

Hotfix - works with the V7

Upgrade to 6.1 - does NOT work with the V7

I apologize if my posts prompted anyone to run the upgrade instead of the hotfix. It certainly was not my intention to confuse the two files that were available for download. From what I have been reading, even if someone did install the upgrade, there is still a way to restore your old flashdisk files to the V7 (providing you made a backup).

There are so many devices on the market that utilize the same map files that I’m sure they are being thoroughly tested to make sure they are compatable with every one. It will be nice to finally see my house next to a road instead of in the middle of a field!

ok, I need more coffee… >

you simply 93 Mb you were not referring to a version,

FYI, all the one I try are 2005.2

To check the map version, power up, navigate, About, maps, the map version should be display for each map, I have Canada 2005.2

V7 has a PDF under the US verison that tell how to upgrade the maps in a nutshell you have to send them the orig. Sim 1 gig card and they will send you a new 2 gig sim back with the maps. Here is the catch! Free for customers who have purchased the unit between May 7th and Sept 7th, 2007; this

offer must be redeemed by October 31st, 2007 (proof of purchase is required) And you must send in the unit? I think they are doing a software upgrade also! Just want to tell sny one who would like to know….

I talked to Anthony today and he sent me information on how to ship the V7 back for the upgrade but there were some major differences from what the pdf instruction on their website says.

The first difference was the price. It said it costs $129 to upgrade.

It also says that I need an RMA before I can send it in but after when he emailed the info to me, he did not include the RMA #.

Here is a quote from the MS Word file he sent me.

(Note the difference in what it says you get for the free update in ‘4d’)

**********************************************************

This outlines the procedures for installation of map updates. Based on agreements in place with TeleAtlas, we are only able to do this work in house. i.e. we cannot sell a CD or allow a download. Accordingly, this is the procedure for maps for USA & Canada:

1) Map dates: latest is 2006.10, released in January 2007. Map settings on the device will reflect 2007.1 dates.

2) It is not assured that with these updates previously ‘not found’ addresses will be found. It is highly recommended that potential update customers verify any particular address by visiting the TeleAtlas URL: http://mapfeedback.teleatlas.com/index.htm

3) If after this search customers wish to update the maps, there is a fee involved of $ 129 for the update. This update can only be done on our premises in California based on our technology and TeleAtlas contract.

4) With this fee, Ares will

a. Update the firmware

b. Update the maps for North America and supply you with Premium Maps (4 million points of Interest – POIs) on a 2 GB SD card

c. Pay the return postage to the customer.

d. Where customers bought this device between June 7 - September 7, 2007 please contact support@aresdigital.com (Last date of purchase is 7th September 2007) Standard maps and POI data are free; Additional POIs with premium map data will cost $ 129

Darryl,

The only official way to get the V7 to run the latest maps is to send it to V7 in the U.S. for upgrade (about $100).

Go here v7.freeforums.org/ and read how to get iGO software running on the unit, and then you can run the latest maps.
