I suspect that this has been answered in different ways already. I have done a search and find snippets but I am having trouble getting the overall picture
I note that the Mio Moove 370, which runs Windows CE can now be purchased pretty cheaply. I understand that this unit can be "unlocked" to run other mapping software like Oziexplorer.
Where can I find a straightforward guide to yhe process to do this and then install Oziexplorer (or other mapping software?)
Thanks

Hello
firstly you need miopocket
Get it here
GPSPassions Miopocket thread
There is a readme file included (Miopocket readme.txt) in the zip file. Read it and follow instructions. Suggest you load the program onto an sd card (and not internal memory) - this way you can not go wrong - if things go haywire just remove sd card and unit is back to normal.
There are various threads on this on the gpsautralia site.
Mio Thread - gpsaustralia
The most important thing you need to note is this comment
"I have got MioPocket version 2.0 release 30 working with my Moov 360. The folder name you need to create is Cobia_420_64_AU. "
i.e. - this folder name is important so keep it in mind when the time comes that you need it during setup (I am assuming it is same for your model Moov). I dont have a Moov but have a Mio 720 running perfectly with OziCE, and bonus is you can also use the Mio Nav software.
To install OziExplorerCe you need to download one of the wince_core files - one is suitable if you can get activesync happening - the other is when no PC communication can be established and you need to manually copy files - see how you go - I managed to get activesync going on the Mio so I used the *.exe version.
Hope this gets you on your way .
Cheers
Greg

Brilliant. Just what I needed. I got the model wrong. Actually it is the Mio 360 I am looking at but I think this is the same re ozie exp set up.
Many thanks.

Another option is here:

I used it on a navman s90i, but it's actually a mio moove unlock. Easy to use, lock/unlock at the click of a button.

I imagine that this program should be installed on the memory card rather than the device?
Thanks

Took a slight leap of faith to actually do it as he doesn't explain what the actual setup.exe does.
Basically you run the setup.exe from you pc, it automatically detects the device and installs when you click the unlock button.
Turns out it basically installs a new UNLOCK folder in the program files dir of the devices flash memory. Then when the device boots, it kills the navigation software and returns to windows. He adds a file explorer, but you need to get a keyboard and whatever other software you want - plus the dlls, as the base unit is shipped with only a limited set of dlls to make the nav software work.
I'm running oziexplorer, jotkb (keyboard) and gps speed sentry with no probs.
Read ALL the info in the links under Before You Start and Settings (on the left hand side of the page) before you attempt it. You also need to make some changes to the Autorun.reg to get the right time zone, but it explained (sort of) ion the web site.

I have now ordered the Mio 360
I still have lots of questions re unlocking. It might be better to do this via regular email. I don't think you are a member, so I can't send messages via the members messaging service.
If you are happy to chat about this more and let me pick your brains for a bit, let me know and I will give you my email address.
Thanks

I'm no expert on CE, but will help where I can if you want to post your email.
Not sure if you found the form specific to the Mio Moov:
http://navmanunlocked.forumwise.com/navmanunlocked-forum-44.html
The guy who wrote the unlock lurks in there.
