If Western Europe 2.4 is anything like Garmin USA or NA 2.3 as far as the main program executable is concerned, then the /etc/hosts trick will not work. Supposedly someone has gotten 2.3 to work but he hasn't provided any additional details on what was done to get it to work. It is definitely not calling home, as I get that error in 2.3 regardless of whether I put my phone in Airplane Mode. IMHO unless you really need the iCloud feature, FourSquare, Wikipedia, and/or Glympse...you're better off just sticking with 2.2. I wanted to get 2.3 to work, if only because of the issues I was having with the Weather and Google Local Search features not working...but once I figured out what the deal was, I really have no reason to move up from 2.2, especially given that Garmin has found a way to get around the /etc/hosts loophole.

roger1109--I think it's the BB software that's converting/interpreting the (www).garmin.com entries in my posts as a URL link--the /etc/hosts file does need a 127.0.0.1 (www).garmin.com (w/o the parentheses--I had to put those in so that the editor doesn't try to turn it into a link) entry.

Note by MOD: ok,np ....but the link for company is not allowed. Use the TAG CODE,and you can write whatever you think

Tonytone, Could you upload the garmin 2.2 ipa that you have ? Thanks

Some more observations:

1) It may turn out that some of the "extras" in the Extras menu are actually free--PhotoReal Junction View, 3D Buildings, and trafficTrends. I was able to download all three extras to my iPhone via the Extras menu; the Garmin app now recognizes that they have been downloaded:

Note/caveat--when downloading PhotoReal Junction View and 3D Buildings, the app will download whatever map version is specified in the TargetConfig.plist file--for Garmin 2.2, the TargetConfig.plist shows version 2013.10...so once the app downloaded those two files, I simply replaced them with the 2013.40 versions. You cannot simply edit the TargetConfig.plist file and replace 2013.10 with 2013.40 because it contains the exact download location to grab the files..so unless you happen to know the exact download path for the 2013.40 versions of those files, you'll just have to make do with uploading 2013.40 files to your phone after the fact. Also--for whatever reason the PhotoReal Junction View download status reverted back to "FREE" after I replaced the downloaded version with the 2013.40 version, but in any case PhotoReal JCV works correctly (I tested it using the GPS Simulator feature).

Note #2--the trafficTrends file (it's a SID file, in case you were wondering) is downloaded to the ***/Library/sdcard/Garmin/SID folder (instructions for installing it manually stated that it should be installed to ***/garmin-nav.app/storage-***/.System/SID; the PhotoReal JCV when downloaded via the Extras menu is installed in a location similar to the trafficTrends file, except the directory is JCV instead of SID. The 3D Buildings file (gmap3d.img) is installed to ***/Library/sdcard/Garmin as opposed to manually installing it in ***/garmin-nav.app/storage-***/.System.

2) Downloading trafficTrends via the Extras menu properly enables the trafficTrends toggle in Settings -> Extras:

3) Interesting as to where the sources for the Safety Cameras are coming from (note the various submissions from a user, a static DB source, and a Cyclops source):

4) If the Fuel Prices feature is supposed to be an in-app purchase, then it's interesting that it's not listed in the Extras menu...but what's even more interesting is this:

I still can't get the audible alerts for the safety cameras to work...real-time traffic does seem to work, but not the auto route redirect part of it. Still hoping someone may be able to point me to where I can find the Panorama View 3D map...

I download Garmin U.S.A. (v2.2 v2.2.10 3GS os43)-[*****Lords]-B_H (1)

It is impossible for auntenticate maps. so I delete and put South America 2013.40

Change the plist. Have now for pedestrian, but is impossible to calculate route

The icon google doesnt appear

How you do to work?

Honestly, I wish I knew why it's not working for you; FWIW Pedestrian mode seems to work for me:

tonytone, I used your plist files from a few pages back and I have 2.2 working. The only issue is I am not seeing any extras - traffic, cameras, etc. Are all these new findings you have come across still on 2.2 or have you moved on? Do you have any updated plist files? I would really like to get the cam functionality working as I have tried installing a GPI file, but it only gives a slight beep (very difficult to hear) and no visual warning. If you have any idea how to change the POI warning beep to some other sound even that would be a major plus.
Thanks for all the hard work you are doing!

LOL I can't get the traffic/speed camera feature or audio alert to work either even though it knows about the speedcam locations (see the screenshot in one of my previous posts). If by "Extras" you're talking about the stuff that can be downloaded from Extras in the main Garmin menu (not the stuff that's in Settings -> Extras--in here is where you can see the Traffic Alerts and trafficTrends toggles), then most likely they're being blocked in /etc/hosts or some other third-party firewall program you might have installed on your phone.

LOL the traffic (red light) camera alerts/locations do work...just that like what other folks reported, I hear just that faint one-beep tone; I discovered this two ways--one, while on an actual route (just happened to approach an intersection that has a red-light camera listed in the camera database)...and two, I selected one of the listed locations in the Safety Camera database and did a GPS Simulator route to it.

Anyways, wow there is a lot of great info/tools in this Garmin forum--I was finally able to install the premium voices (e.g., Homer Simpson, SpongeBob)...they work like a charm!
