Hi,
I'm exactly in the same position, with my Becker Active 7 LMU device complaining that its maps need to be updated. After Becker's bankrupcy, this is no more possible. I understand that I could use other maps provided that my "navigator.exe" and "data.zip" are patched. You mentioned another possibility but the link you provided does not work anymore. Could you name this "runner" or tell me where I can download it?
Thanks in advance
Thank you for your reply.
I have tried many "exe" files but none appear to really work with TMC.
I have!
As a matter of fact I was unable to download the files which might work for my BECKER ACTIVE 7S. The links all appear to be dead.
Do you know of a thread dealing with unl*ck*ng this specific GPS?
I bought last year this very Becker model BECAUSE of the anounced lifetime map updates and they now want to have you pay for them!!!
Regards
My GPS is a BECKER ACTIVE 7S EU.
The app "navigator.exe" was version 9.18.36.64510 when I bought it and became version 9.18.36.691447 after the first map legal upgrade.
I already tried this solution and it worked beautifully with the notable exception of TMC. I have the impression that the Avanteq driver checks the presence or absence of the original "navigator.exe" with a checksum file called "pst.bin" (with an additional temporary "pst.tmp" file), placed in the GPS root directory. If you install a non-Becker "navigator.exe", this "pst.bin" simply disappears.
Tweaking sys.txt won't help.
I just would like to have actual maps + a working TMC-module without paying extra money for it as Becker promised free Lifetime maps support when I bought their device.
Have you suceeded to make the TMC module work with your files?
I don't mind using Becker or IGo or whatever name the app might have, provided everything works :-)
