Navman MY75T Problems

And this is the future of IT.

Thank heavens I got out of it. No decent software developer should release any program or data pack with errors. And from what I see these days its the norm across the industry. Write a bit of code and release it. No complaints = god code. Hmmm

And they blame windows.Well write around it and test properly. Thats what I did. Just shooting the breeze in sympathy.

Bad luck mate.

Weird - I did the same thing and all went well - 205mb download though

Still following threads to see if it can be unlocked to put in some other Maps

Cheers Tony

Should have stayed with the Garmin.......better the devil you know

cheers......jeff

No should have bought a Tom Tom and got 18 months of maps for $48

LOL


None of them are perfect It depends on how you set up your preferences really.

I went to a part of town I wasnt sure of the other day and it took me a strange way.

Turned out I had put in a number on the north facing side of the street when I wanted the south facing so it took me around the back way to get me facing correct for the info I put in.

GIGO was alive and well.

ROFL

I was given a MY75T as a retirement present last week - Did exactly the same thing - error shown " Some Maps did not load correctly" ..
After removing Maps software and travel books - Then re-loading from the DVD it now works again but not with the "new" maps ...

As I have 3 years of Maps - I wonder if this will happen again ?

I too have a Chinese cheapie Amigo Igo and it is unlocked and runs Windows CE with Oziexplorer and the Nat maps from 2005 - good enough for where I go ..

Cheers

I'll buy the crappy Garmin off you for $80 !!!!!

The problem I see with a lot of Garmin owners is that they get it from places like Harvey Norman or DSE, etc. these retailers don't add anything like POI's for RL & S Cameras, but back to the problems, people get it, stick it in the car and think that's all there is to it, I have checked some for tourists that call in here and the setting is still on medium instead of highest , many minor roads will not show until the setting is on Highest and then I hear them say ....the road they're looking for isn't in it...
Using mapsource on the PC just now for a check on the streets in my town , they didn't appear until zoomed to 200m, at lowest it was 70m zoom, I think most would drive the country roads with a zoom of around 500m to 2Klm so if your GPS is set to medium then a minor road will not appear.
As for outback tracks, Garmin Topo is good,

.

As I am a bit of an IT guru, I had a look at the mapshigh.xml file and found right at the end of the file the following code
POITypeMap
POIType\0000T0IN1500025S.map

I looked in the directory POIType on the navman when it was connected to the computer and found the the .map file referenced above was not installed on the navman.

I opened the download map iso using Daemon tools lite (any iso file reader will do the trick) and copied the file to the navman. I disconnected the navman, it rebooted loaded the maps and guess what "No Error". I check out the POI's like fuel, food etc and they are now all working.

Hope it helps.

Shaker - Hey mate you will be happy to know that I had not noticed that the download had removed the 4WD Tracks Icon.

Anyways - Navman offer the following to anyone who downloaded the update and had problems
