[GPS] Mio: Installing maps on SD

Vinvin02 -  
 steven -
This operation works on a MIO C220.

The first thing you can do is let the MioMap software from the CD install while using "transfer maps" from the menu. But the transfer can sometimes be long (due to the integrated card reader, which is not very efficient).

To speed up the process, you can use an SD reader connected to your USB 2 port.

- On your card, create the directory MioMap/Maps
- In this directory, copy the desired maps from the Maps directory on the DVD
- Turn on your GPS and insert the card
- The GPS restarts, your maps are installed

Instead of taking 20 to 30 minutes to install from the software using the GPS's USB connection, you can reduce the process to a few minutes (provided you have a fast SD card and the appropriate reader).
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.4

Hello everyone, I have a little problem with miomap, my GPS is asking me to reinstall it but I can't get it recognized on my PC (even with all the techniques I've read: Mio Transfer C250 and the hack). So how can I reinstall it? Is it possible to do it via an SD card? Thank you in advance for shedding some light on this subject.

Bonjour, j'ai un GPS Mio c220 France et il me manque juste la carte Europe. Comment puis-je l'obtenir ? Je connais un vendeur à Feut Vert qui peut me faire une copie, mais le problème c'est qu'il les a tous vendues.

Hello, I just bought a Mio C320B GPS. I activated the speed cameras in the general settings, but when I'm on the road, the GPS doesn't emit any sound alerts. Can anyone respond to this issue? Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,

I have a big issue with my GPS. While I'm driving on the highway, the GPS tells me to make a U-turn carefully, lol. Or when it's not telling me to turn around, it asks me to take the first left, and before I even turn, it wants me to turn right already. I think there’s a real problem with the GPS.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the CD that allows me to update the GPS. What can I do, and do I really need to pay?

It's a Mio n 179.

Hi
when you bought your mio you should have the cd with it otherwise it's useless
return it, see you +

Hello, I just bought a C220 and I just put the SD card in the GPS and it works! Well, I think. So why all these manipulations? Olivier

In your case, you bought a preloaded card. But it is possible to download the maps on the Mio website; the installation on the SD card will cost you in this case.

Hello,
Can you help me because I did the operation with the folder names on my SD card to have the map of Canada, but when I turn on the GPS, there is a message saying that the maps are locked and that I need to check the site mio-tech.be.
For your information, it's a GPS purchased in the US and my PC is running Vista.

Thank you for your help

According to what I read, the SD card had to be formatted in FAT format before putting the cards on it, but I don't have that problem so I didn't try
FAT and not FAT32.

Hello, I bought a SD card a few months ago with preloaded Europe mapping for Mio PNd and the same issue, the maps are locked. If anyone knows the solution to unlock them, please share it.

The manipulation works very well with my C220 purchased with the integrated France card:
To add all of Europe:
On the SD card, create a MioMap folder and a subfolder Maps
put the maps in it:
ed2k://|file|Miomap%20v3.3%20Europe%202007.1%20Compatible%20c220.rar|941834091|D7D4FD940013D24A04FF71235050084D|h=QJCJUCJBMJXGEO6Y27WGRSOCT7CGDGW5|/

Restart the GPS (do not just turn it off).

Hello
with MIO C22O I tried with prepaid cards (example South Africa) same problem the card is blocked
(despite the license.db file).

What is
ed2k://|file|Miomap%20v3.3%20Europe%202007.1%20Compatible%20c220.rar|941834091|D7D4FD94001 3D24A04FF71235050084D|h=QJCJUCJBMJXGEO6Y27WGRSOCT7CGDGW5|/

For my part, I agree to buy (at a reasonable price since it is for limited use)
maps of Africa and Madagascar) But I can't find any

Thank you
happy holidays to all
