RNS510 Australia V4 maps out ?

[vk]

I believe you need to extract and re-compile, as folder structures are different!

Not a simple task ... and most definitely will lose or have no POIs at all.


To still be based on 2009 Q4 map database is just fcuken unacceptable!

Are we just a third world market or something and not worth the upkeep?


I just wish there was a real way to make them do something about it!

As oppose to just bitching about it in this thread for so many pages.

Hey there guys, just before i go ahead with this downgrade.

- If i downgrade from 3800 to 2760, will I be able to upgrade back in the future no problems?
- is there more chance of failure seeing as being firmware 3xxx i have 3 partitions?
- will i miss anything downgrading?

thanks!

You can upgrade/downgrade at will there is no limit.
If you want upgrade to a 3xxx series firmware in the future it will repartition your drive to three partitions and you have to reload the map data.

What i mean is, because I am already on 3 partitions, will downgrading repartition it to 2?

I think so.


Whenever you change between major versions of firmware (i.e the first digit of the version number changes) then you lose all your music on the HDD, so it's safe to say it re-creates the partitions.

Correct. I have done this downgrade before and as mentioned it will automagically repartition the hdd to 2 partitions.

is there much functionality lost downgrading?

[kamold]

None that we can use in Oz...

will it read 32gb SDHC

[kamold]

Yep. Sure does. (as long as the hardware does. Needs to be HW version 04 or above I believe)

The icons and displays are generally nicer on the newer FW.

But at least you will have working POIs! Which I will assume that's why you want to downgrade?

I will also assume you have your 3800 FW disk, if you want to revert back?
