    Default I Would like assistance with finding Maps for NDrive on an old Archos 5 Internet Tablet

    Bear in mind this is my first post here so be patient with me

    before i start i would like to clarify that YES I am aware these maps and devices are no longer supported but this endeavor is for a historic reason, and I would like to try it out, okay so now we can begin.

    I am going to purchase an Archos 5 internet Tablet alongside some accessories and one of the advertised features was an apparent "Trial" of the GPS Software which is provided by Ndrive. the reason I would like to enquire about this is because the Archos Software store is no longer operational and Archos have ignored all my emails. as such i need a way to bypass and activate this software as if i purchased it many many years ago, the DVD bundled with the archos contains maps apparently but the ones on eBay that are cheap lack the box, manuals and of course that all important DVD.

    somebody I know has this but as of now cannot locate it, so my request goes out to the users of this forum, has anyone ever dealt with the Archos 5s version of Ndrive before? and could they provide some assistance, i will still need the window mount but on the internet tablet running android it has built in GPS so the dock can be an aftermarket one, although I would like an Archos branded window mount.

    the drive Behind this is an old TV program called the Gadget Show and it Aired on channel 5, one of the shows presenters (Jon Bentley) went to paris in france to demonstrate three devices with GPS functionality. one was an IPhone 3GS Running the IOS6 Version of "TomTom W Europe" paired with the optional "Car Kit" which back in the Day Cost almost £100! nowadays these can be had for next to nothing., a PlayStation Portable 1000 series was also used alongside a Beta version of Go!Explore a navigation software which ran off of a UMD disc and used a USB GPS antenna for the signal, I have all these accessories for my PSP (Still need the Car mains adapter), and of course the Archos 5 was used with western Europe maps provided by NDrive and the optional car mount (which cannot be found anywhere in the UK I have looked)

    so far that component is all I am missing and would really like it if somebody could give me a hand here, as all the links in previous posts are dead.

    Thank you for your time.
