Thread: City Navigator North America NT 2013.20

Peter, there's no need to prove how you did the steps with Strephon Alkhalikoi's method, coz like I said AFAIK it works, and I was offering you ALTERNATIVE methods. Read the post again:

PS: Be nice to Stephon, afaik his method works ok and more importantly he's from Lizzie Borden country. Other methods also [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to unlock the tdb file only if you want to try them.

Neil, I read all the posts, and I tried all the methods, with no success, otherwise I wouldn't send these messages...However, I am trying now another thingy, not elegant but it may work...BTW, AFAIK is not good enough for me: Q1: Have you installed City Navigator North America 2013.20" ? and if so, Q2: What is your OS, windows 7 x64? Plz, note, I had never problems with the other CityNavigators by installing them, probs only with this one...!

Sorry, no I don't. If i can track it down, i'll post it for sure.

AFAIK = I haven't tried his method but no reason to believe it doesn't work as the basic principle is sound, however not interested in duplicating your attempts as I know other methods DO work:

..... Q1: Have you installed City Navigator North America 2013.20" ?....

Yes as you can clearly see, and the image is unlocked on the sd that i sent it to:

..... and if so, Q2: What is your OS, windows 7 x64?

Yes, it is. But I also use XP_32. The above unlocking was done on win7 however using unlock mapset.exe to unlock the entire gmap folder as i previously suggested you try.

.... Plz, note, I had never problems with the other CityNavigators by installing them, probs only with this one...!

Never had any problems with any of them, including the 2013.20 one as you can see. Maybe there is some problem with your file and you should try to dl it again perhaps even from a different source.

@PeterPerth
I thought i'd try Strephon Alkhalikoi's method, purely in the interests of fairness (and 'coz i'm bored.... ok, really just 'coz i'm bored). I see that not only has he undated it since i looked at it last year (before he amended it ...'part 1'), but he has also done a 'part 2' to take account of using gimgunlock rather than FUI as in the original, and part 2 is essentially the same as the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] i gave you. I suspect he really meant to give you the link for part 2. BTW, my change of heart has nothing to do with the spectre of an axe wielding male version of Lizzie Borden hunting me down. I'm at least about 10,000 miles away from MA presently and anyway i doubt Stephron even lives in Fall River, Lizzie's stamping grounds, and he's even less likely to be a decendant.. maybe... brrrr. Anyway, i unlocked only the .tdb with unlock mapset.exe, and unsurprisingly the gmap folder shows in and is unlocked for use in both MS and BC. Sent a single tile to an sd (guess which one):



Yep. That one.... So in GMapTool it shows as locked:



The 'L' next to '30' under 'Prio' indicates it's status is locked. Like Caty said Fast Image Unlocker's an orphan now, and best to use [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or i like [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] too. But, as you were following the Part 1 instructions of the blog, i used FIU to unlock the image on the sd, and... :



Yep.. it's unlocked.

But this is what you originally asked:

BTW, "City Navigator North America NT 2013.20" is the only one which does not show up properly in BC, all others are fine. Any ideas? thanks...

Well, i have a thought on that. Both should throw up the 'Locked Maps Detected' screen if the .tdb file is still locked. But of course you used JM to unlock the gmap folder for your patched MS. But BC wouldn't have a bar of that and needed the .tdb unlocked to not display the 'Locked Maps Detected' screen, so i think you actually had the answer to your own question in that first post. Why you then continued to have a problem after you used S.A.'s method and the others is beyond me though:

So what was wrong with your gmap folder mate, anything? If you found out what happened, best post again and let us know so others can learn too.
