Thanks to Navigator Free, I was able to give a second live to my old Viamichelin X-970T GPS!
Viamichelin stoped manufacturing GPS some years ago, and you cannot update the maps anymore.
Hopefully I was able to install Navigator Free on it, and I now have a brand new GPS with maps from all over the world for free!
To install Navigator Free on the VM X-970T:
- On an empty SD card - this way you keep the original card just in case... - (I recommand a 2 Go card), create a "InstallSD" folder
- Download Navigator Free set-up utility
- With the set-up utility, install Navigator Free on the SD card in the InstallSD folder: choose "Install the software" / "Install Pocket Navigator" / "Windows CE device" (the VM 970 runs on Windows CE 5)
- Still with the set-up utility, install the maps you wish in the same folder: choose "Install Data", and install the language too.
- In the InstallSD folder, rename "Navigator.exe" to "InstallSD.exe"
There are some missing Dlls on the Viamichelin that you need to install too. Here is the list:
I am trying to find ws2.dll but there seem to be hundreds of different "versions". I am not a techie so which version do I need to load on to my X-970T?
