Thread: How to install any Garmin map on Iphone Garmin StreetPilot

Also--if you really insist on wanting to use (a non-legit copy of) 2.3 and don't care if Google Local Search/Weather/Traffic doesn't work, and would prefer not to have to install something like Firewall IP...you can still get it to work--you still definitely need to make sure the /etc/hosts file doesn't contain anything that has the string "garmin" in it...then use a hex editor on the garmin-nav binary file (~29 MB) and search/replace the "gold.garmin" string (without the quotes) with a dummy replacement (e.g., "abcd.stupid"). Note--you have to replace the exact number of characters (i.e., no more, no less) or else the binary file will no longer be the correct size; I tried this trick just for grins and Garmin 2.3 fires up and works, without my having installed any firewall app. Of course any stuff (e.g., Extras, Google) that needs to dial out will still not work but hey, at least you're now running 2.3, for whatever that's worth...

Thanks for helping to all of us. It would be great if you post here your 2.3 or 2.2 IPA with all you customizations but without the Maps..
We all appreciate this..
Regards
