I have a few technical questions regarding hacking my GPS and am posting here to see if anyone has done this and can help me out.
Well i've been running Ozi on my little 3.5" binatone for quite a while and it's great. A mate gave me a 4.5" 'chinese' GPS which runs IGO8 off of the SD card. I can get Ozi to run on here easily by modifying the Shell.INI file on the SD card which the unit calls up on loading the navigation software. What I actually wanted to do, was have both systems operational. Either with two distinct touchscreen buttons on the main page (IGO8, OZI), or, after pressing the navigation option, having some kind of sub-menu present me with two options. I tried to get into winCE to modify the files and input direct links to these programs from the main screen, but unlike the binatone, there is no WinCE file tree. There are only 4 .bin files of various names.
So: my questions are:
1) Does anyone know how to get from these .bin files to the folder tree, or know what program can unpack these files safely?
2) If no one has done this, is there a file system .exe or something out there on the internet that I could call up when I press navigation, which then gives me one of two options> (IGO8 or OZI)
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers
Ian.
P.S. - do NOT go googling on hack sites for cracks to these things. I did last night and my laptop got absolutely HAMMERED by a virus. It now won't boot, and just sits on the dreaded 'blinking screen'. Now, I'm using Linux to rescue all my data off the hard drive..... The things we do for our 4x4 addictions hey :roll: :roll:
