new gps sat nav

[mookie756]

I have just bought a new sat nav. Just says gps sat nav. Has a windows CE NET 4.2 platform with Sirf Star 111 module with SD card Route 66 europe on. Can I download maps of Orlando Florida onto a SD card and use the system when I am on holiday there.

It sounds like you have a Trumpion TR-G1 (I have one)

It's a nice little Sat Nav for the money.

Unfortunately Trumpion don't seem to offer any support or upgrades for their devices.

I’ve tried to contact them several times myself without any success

I suspect they may have disappeared are selling these devices off cheap on eBay

They use a modified version of Route66, which is used by other generic PNA manufacturers.

Use the following links and after a little foraging through the forums I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for

Good luck

Just out of interest

My Trumpion runs Navigator v7.0.3459 (tweaked Route66) using map:

NAVTEQ Q4/2006 2006/11/22/ TMC
DCI: GRC + RUS + BGR + MKD + ALB + BEL + BIH + CZE + GBR + DNK + DEU + EST + ESP + FIN + FRA + HRV + IRL + ITA + LVA + LTU + LUX + HUN + NDL + NOR + POL + PRT + ROU + CHE + SCG + SVN + SVK + SWE + AUT

The map's filename is called Europe.prm.

It's a pretty comprehensive map covering most of Europe.
However it's coverage of some countries (e.g. Slovakia) is a bit weak.

I'd like to update the map to a newer more comprehensive version.

I've tried contacting Trumpion without any success.

Anyone found where you could purchase/obtain a better version of this particular map?

After playing with maps from other Route66 based PNA's (which does work), I would imagine an alternative (more up to date) Europe.prm file from another Route66 based PNA could be purchased.

Using maps/installations from other Route66 based PNA's would explain why Trumpion were quick to remove their complete TR-G1 1.3GB download (Route66g1g2.zip) from their website.

I have also seen documented in a few places that an update patch for the Europe.prm map file was made available.
This would have upgraded the European map to a late 2007 version; however this supposedly official update seems to have disappeared.

Any thoughts anyone
