Upgrading mio m400 with igo8 or igo primo

Gigaware · 21st January 2011, 03:08 PM

I would be most appreciative to receive the latest IGO8 or IGO Primo for the Mio M400 as well as the newest USA Maps, POI's, etc...
If I understand correctly, all I would have to do is connect my Mio M400 to my computer, drag all the contents out of my Mio M400 to a desktop folder to empty.
Then, I would drag the required IGO8 or IGO Primo and the USA Maps, POI's etc..
into my Mio device.
If by chance I am not successful, I would remove and replace my original folders.
If correct, a step by step tutorial and links to the above will be most appreciated.

I'm gathering information to decide which GPS model I should get - Mio or Garmin or others. Of interest would be how easy it is to update maps, so I'll be following your progress with interest. From what I've seen, there seems to be more "chatter" on the Garmin pages than this Mio page.
Sorry I can't help you because I'm a newbie, but good luck and I hope you get answers! Regards

Simple solution how to instal iGO8 or Primo on Mio Moov M400:

1. First of all, make full backup of your device to your PC
2. Because M400 doesnt have SD option, therefore is essential, that you free as much space from Mio device. You can delete all Miomap maps and lang files. They all have .cfg extension. You will find them in dir My Flash Disk\Program files\Miomap\
3. Copy Primo dir on root of the Flash disk (not in any folder!)
4. open \My Flash Disk\Program Files\MioMap\appstartupsec.ini in editor and change this lines:

RelativePath=TRUE
ProcessFile=Program Files/MioMap/MioMap.exe
to
RelativePath=FALSE
ProcessFile=\\..\\My Flash Disk\\Primo\\Primo.exe

* save and exit.
5. Enjoy!

TomTom realy isnn't best solution for WinCE devices. I suggest you much better solution - iGO8 or even better iGO Primo 2.0. The solution is described above your post.
