Lightbulb Mio digiwalker-c320-c520 +other brands etc hack

I have found an excellent hack/software for Mio and lots of others to enable Windows CE access so you can run Oz explorer etc.
It basicly turns your Nav into a PDA and comes with heaps of software with Excel and powerpoint to Beeline and other GPS stuff to Games...around 60+ programs in total. it's AWESOME !! have tested the software (on MIO only) and its perfect (no bugs) best to run it from an SD card (1 GIG or more is best) this way it will preserve all the factory settings and maps etc on the flash (internal) drive.
It's called MIO Pocket (version 49) but it works with some other brands in portable Navs and provides access to the CE operating system in the back end.
Comes with full install/ fault finding and software instructions for heaps of models.
Will post up a link to the download when I get home tonight.
It's turned my "ok" sat nav into a powerefull PDA... Stoked !!

What is MioPocket?
MioPocket is an unlock kit--an installable package of programs, scripts, registry files and skins--to unlock PNAs (personal navigation devices, i.e. GPS devices) and allow them to be used as PDAs (i.e. personal, handheld computers). MioPocket is the most-packed and most-fully-featured unlock for PNAs available and is free and legal to use, as it consists 100% of freely-distributable content. What MioPocket is not is a replacement for MioMap or any other OEM navigation software. It is just a different environment from which one may launch such software.

What types of programs and features does MioPocket come with?
MioPocket comes with just about everything that you'd want: two media players (video and audio, nearly all popular formats, including MP3, WMA, OGG, MP4, H.264, WMV, MOV, DivX and XVid), three book readers, multiple dictionaries (inc. English to 5 languages), literally dozens of games, two image viewers, two paint programs, MS Office document viewers, text editors, handwritten note-taking apps, a MioMap route manager, four general GPS plotting/mapping apps, three different appointments/tasks apps, a contacts app, a calculator, a unit converter, registry editors, task manager/switchers, file managers, an alarm clock and more (all free/shareware). See the Readme file for a full list. Note: MioPocket does not come with MioMap, iGo, Garmin, TomTom or any other commercial navigation software. Icons and scripts are included for them, but not the programs, themselves (since they are not free).

Which devices does MioPocket run on?
MioPocket should run on all Mio GPS devices and can be made to run on a great many non-Mio, WinCE-based GPS devices, as well. Due to the great number of included programs/features and the wide range of models that MioPocket can run on, not quite all applications or features will work on every single model. Non-Mio brands that MioPocket reportedly works on include Magellan Maestro, Navigon, Harman Kardon, Asus, Navman, Omnitech, Loox, Becker, Insignia and some others that run Windows CE, but installation instructions for all devices may not be included. See the Readme file and, if instructions are not included for those devices, check the appropriate forums at gpspassion.com to learn how to tweak MioPocket to unlock them. Note that TomTom and Garmin devices are Linux-based and, hence, MioPocket (which is Windows CE-based) cannot run on them.

Does MioPocket install to SD or to flash disk (SD-free)?
Both. You have the option of either. See the Readme file for instructions.

Which features make MioPocket unique compared to other unlocks?
* Edit icons directly via an easy-to-use menu (no more manual file editing)
* Support for 480x272, 320x240, 480x234 and 800x480 displays.
* Install to SD card or to internal flash drive (SD-free).
* Close any open application, even those without any way to exit.
* Minimize any open application and return to it at any time.
* Bring up the keyboard without closing or minimizing an application.
* Input text via small keyboard, large keyboard or handwriting recognition.
* Rotate the screen on-the-fly for apps that work better in portrait mode.
* Remote control your device from your Windows desktop.
* Access your device while connected to USB (no connection screen in the way).
* Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 pre-installed.
* Assign any app (ex. MioMap, any other navigation app or the device's original menu) to a quick launch button found on every page.
* Access the start menu without displaying the obstructive and ugly taskbar.
* Automatic registry importing. Just add your own .reg file to the Registry folder and it will be imported during installation.
* All of MioPocket's settings can be configured directly from a menu within MioPocket.
* More included applications and games than any other unlock.
* Many more things...

For more information and answers to other questions, please read the whole Readme file.

I got this to work with ease on my cheap ebay 7" incar stereo tv gps blah blah system.
Looks great in 800x480. 90% of the programs are useless though.

I'm using it as a menu for ozi, igo, ce commander and word plus it also gives access to wince's desktop enviroment so now I have a pc in the car. yet to experiment with the SD free so I can try SD wifi and have internet using my phone as a modem. May have a memory problem though, not much in these stereo's.

Thanks Walkabout.

Make sure you can change the gps program first. Ask the seller, they usually know.
and go for the High res 800x480.

If you find one that does that you'll be right.

Have a look at my thread Gps with a difference
Gps with a difference!
