Re:Map updates - what's the secret? - 2010/04/06 02:02

The "secret" is it emulates a Navigon 5100, but only sort of, which is why Freshmaps can't find it.

What I've found is you can get an image of a 5100 from various spots on the web (send me a PM if you can't find it).

Put that on an SD card and then Freshmaps will work. Once you've got the newer maps on your "fake" SD card, you can simply copy the map files over the card in the mirror. To clarify, you ONLY want to copy the map files, not any of the other files.

Of course you should use a new card, since you always want to have the original card in case you do something wrong.

I'm not sure about Australia, but one thing with North American maps is they will just barely fit on a 2GB SD card. In fact, Freshmaps says you have to have a 4GB card, so what I actually do is update using a 4GB card, then use a 2GB card in the mirror.

For whatever reason, the mirror will not accept a card larger than 2GB.

Hope that helps!
