HELLO,

What should I do to navigate to Germany knowing that I am in France and my GPS offers me 4 zones?

Are France and Germany never in the same zone?

Thank you for your contribution

See you+

    Il est nécessaire de faire courir le DVD livre. Pour cela, il faut s'inscrire sur le site viamichelin pour avoir accès au code. Ensuite, faire courir sdmanager et choisir "eur 4".

      Good evening,

      I am interested in your offer, but which region are you in?
      I am in Paris and I prefer a face-to-face handover to try it out to avoid being taken advantage of a second time!

      Hello!

      I'm having the same issue with my GPS x-950t. The installation starts (actually quite well...) and then freezes at the end (at least I think so...). Have you received any responses regarding this problem? (It seems that it might be related to the computer).

      Thank you.

    Hello!

    I have the same problem, and I called ViaMichelin's customer service today. They suggested that I buy a 2 GB SD card and install the required zones on it. Unfortunately, this second installation can't be done with SD Manager, as it would erase the first one. So, according to them, I need to first install the software and one zone via SD Manager, and then copy the .fdp file of a second zone via Windows Explorer onto the SD card.

    Still, I have doubts about whether I will be able to access both zones for the same route. The telephone customer service (very, very incompetent, by the way; they suggested I use two separate 1 GB SD cards - haha) responded affirmatively, but I'm still doubtful.

    It's a funny idea to call a GPS "Europe" when it can't provide a route from Strasbourg to Freiburg in Breisgau...

    I'll try all this tomorrow after buying another SD card, and I'll keep you posted...

    Best regards,
    Thomas

      I also bought a Michelin GPS X 950 Europe. I'm going to Germany this summer and I have the same problem as you.
      Can you tell me if you found the solution?

      Hi Pierrot
      Yesterday, while trying to download updates for the radars on my X950 Europe, I might have unfortunately made a mistake since it's the first time I've done such an update, and I apparently damaged my Europe SD card. If you have a backup, I would be interested because right now I am down .................... just before vacation SUPER

      Thanks in advance..

      Hello
      I had the same problems
      you had to back up the maps on the PC.

      If the backup on PC has been completed:

      you need to do a hard reset of the GPS (press simultaneously (volume down, power button, and reset (on the back of the GPS)

      you need to turn it back on and press simultaneously (volume up, power button, and reset (on the back of the GPS)

      you need to update the operating system of the GPS (remove the SD card, download version 5.07)
      You need to format the SD card with an SD card reader.
      then update the application (via the Michelin SD card manager)
      then download the Europe map
      then update the speed cameras (POI manager)
      best regards

      Hello Kobe

      Do you have a Viamichelin 950T Europe?

      If yes, do you have access to the Michelin website to download the EUROPE radar updates?

      Thank you for the link

      Have you compared with those from the Viamichelin site and Alertegps?

      Otherwise, can you send me the radar update file from the Viamichelin site?

      Because I have the same problem as you

      To resolve the issue, we need to add a file, but I’ll explain later

      I'm waiting for the radar file for Europe from the Viamichelin site

      Do you have an email address?

      THANK YOU

        Yes, I have a Europe with the navigation system 6, the radar alerts from alertegps are supposedly more accurate. I can send you those from Michelin if you want, you can explain the procedure to me. However, on Michelin it's by country, so tell me which ones you want. Give me your email address.

        Hello,

        I have an XT 950 Europe Version 5. I retrieved a version 6 on SD. When I install it in the GPS, the application refuses to load the Europe map. How can I get around this, please?

        Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Hello,

    I just got a 950t with Navigator 6 on it. I'm having trouble updating the speed cameras through the Michelin site, I’ve called their POI support, but once installed via POI Manager, I encounter the error: Problem: MAPSONIC crash with the following message:
    "Application mapsonic.exe has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
    program: mapsonic.exe
    exception: 0xC0000005
    address: 000BA940.

    Additionally, I tried to download the speed camera list from alertgps.com and I have the .ppi files in \DiskOnChip\VMNav_POIs, but once in my GPS, I can't find the backups; the icon doesn't seem to exist.

    Can any kind soul help me?

    Thanks in advance.

      hello,

      the alertgps radar file must be installed in my viamichelin and not in POImanager
      the icon provided by alertgps must be resized (16X16 pixels, 24bits)

      instructions in the pdf guide page 117 and onwards

        Do a hard reset of the GPS. Check the documentation for your GPS on the Michelin website.

    Hello everyone,
    I wanted to update my software with the new update from the viamichelin site, but at the moment of the update, my laptop turned off and the update stopped as well.
    So, when I turn it back on, it doesn't work anymore, it can't go to the homepage.
    I tried a reset, a hard reset, but still nothing, it just won't work.
    Unfortunately, I didn't make a backup, and on Sunday at 3 AM, I'm heading south and my GPS isn't working anymore.
    Does anyone have a backup they could send me???
    My GPS: Viamichelin X950 France
    I'm really stressed because going south without knowing the route is going to be tough.
    Thank you very much for your help

    My email for anyone who could help me:

    Thank you for the information on the hard reset, but unfortunately I didn't have time to make a backup of the Europe SD card (problem very shortly after purchase and the warranty does not apply in this case).
    So I'm in quite a bind; where can I obtain such a backup?
    Thank you for your response.

    Hello everyone,

    I bought a GPS X950T Europe some time ago (with the VMNavigator 5 factory-installed).
    I have an old colleague who had the same model, but with Navigator 6 (the one from the X980).
    I tested it and found it definitely more convenient than the 5.
    I contacted ViaMichelin to ask them the question and my contact person told me that version 6 is indeed compatible with my model. However, this person didn't tell me how to install it!
    Does anyone know how to install this version 6 on a X950?

    Thank you.

      You have information, I own a 950XT France and my parents have a 980XT Europe, frankly if I could get the V6 utility back it would be great!

      Hello
      I think you got a response then
      I believe you have a solution for me
      Here it is: I have an x950 Europe with a 2GB card
      And I see that you install module 6, etc. How do you get it from the Michelin site and how do you install it?

      Hi, did you find the solution to install version 6 on a 950 t?
      I'm interested.
      In exchange for your services, I can provide you with the 2007 Michelin map update.
      See you soon.

    Hello everyone
    I just got scammed on eBay buying a so-called European x950t but in reality, it's a French one. Does anyone know where I can get the European map (actually, it's mainly the Spanish map I'm interested in) for a lower cost?
    Thank you in advance.

    Salut à tous, j'ai un problème avec mon X950T Europe. Quand il est en charge avec l'allume-cigare, il ne veut plus me donner les directions à prendre (il ne parle plus). Si quelqu'un pourrait me dire comment faire pour qu'il m'indique les directions (oralement) même quand il est branché sur l'allume-cigare ?

    Merci pour vos réponses.

    I also got caught buying a Michelin X 950. Good device but stupid updates, way too complicated, otherwise impossible. Their programmers would do well to completely rethink their work, or Michelin should hire capable IT professionals. We no longer buy, in our time (see the simplicity of antivirus updates), software with complex and uncertain updates; technology has evolved!...
