BulletMagnet Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I decided that my maps from 2009 were in need of an update So I found the required files floating around on the internet, accquired them and put them onto a SD Card. Then went to delete the MAP and POI folders on the F900BT Then copied to new files on Was a bit worried that they might not work, so kept a backup just in case, but I needn't have worried All working Now up to date with TomTom 2011 Q4 maps Only thing is that the F900BT has limited space on it's internal HDD and won't be able to fit the entire catalog of EU maps, so was just a matter of picking which ones were essential (like consider whether you will actually drive in Latvia, Finland or Norway, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyV6 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Is that Pioneer unit running Windows CE?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-Ultra Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I believe they all run Windows CE. You need to hack the unit and update windows CE before you can update the maps i think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to hack the unit and update windows CE before you can update the maps i think..... Yup, indeed. Ran an hack and update many moons ago. On Ver.3.x right now and Satnav is iGo Ver.8.x, which is compatibale with TeleAtlas (TomTom) maps.

It suits me well, great but a little slow You should have seen it before I updated it It was the boot up time really, I looked at the software and tried to get it to load up the gui quicker but couldn't get it any quicker unfortunately.... still a lovely unit once it gets going though!
