I think you can try destinator 6. If you own PN you can download it from: http://www.destinator-europa.de/update/index.php

I've just bought D6 and installed it on my Acer N35. All seems to be working OK and I'm getting used to the new look etc. One thing that bugged me was losing all my favourites. I've figured out how to recover them now. It's pretty simple as it happens. Assuming you've installed D6 over the top of D3, just find the old location, \\DestinatorApps\Destinator\Favourites then copy the .DAT & .BMP for the lists you want to keep, then paste them into \\Destinator Apps\Destinator\UserData\Favourites and job done.

I also hacked \\DestinatorApps\Destinator\Voice\All\DestinatorVoiceManeuvers.inf to do away with the "at the roundabout' and replaced it with just "roundabout" It's a simple FIND/REPLACE, look for 'at_the_round' and replace it with 'roundabout' I prefer it anyway!

FWIW, when I first ran D6 I didn't much like it, couldn't find anything, all different etc. Tried it going home last night and still wasn't sure, tried again coming to work this morning and already I'm used to the new look etc. Much better!

Ah, does this mean 1gb cards aren't supported?

What 1gb card should I choose?

i have just downloaded both the bootloader and the windows mobile 2003 flash downloads from the acer site, i did flash the bootloader without any problems. but when i try to flash the windows mobile 2003 se upgrade i get the orange bar telling me it is downloading but then it freezes just after starting, i have left this for about 1 hour hoping it would carry on but the download bar does not move at all. when i reset my machine again i still have the original windows mobile 2003 version and no upgrade.
can any one help me and tell me what has gone wrong?

This the thing I did to make the update working. Idea

You don't have to put AC to your PDA, just make sure that battery is full loaded.
1. Format the card with FAT, not FAT32.
2. Unzip the file [n35_SE_v2.10.12_WWE_SD.rar] and then open the folder and move all the files to empty SD card.
3. Inserd SD card, while PDA is still "open", so that we know Acer has approved the card!
4. Now turn off Acer, and hard reset Acer N35 (move knob to the left).
5. Hold the power button, and move the hard reset knob to the left
6. aproximatly count 4 sec. and release the power button, when the screen is white.
7. The screen will say [DOWNLOAD IMG] + [Eboot 6.2] and then after ~10 sec. the Red bar will appear.
8. This loading will take about 4 min. Just wait when the bar doesn't run anymore.
9. The device will reboot automatically after it has completed flashing.

Acer's own instuctions really sucks! Evil or Very Mad

Does anybody know what the rest of those files are, in Acer's site?

I've just has my N35 back from repair at Acer, and when it came back, it was back to the old version of Windows Mobile. I've flashed the unit before with no problems, but now it won't flash the new version of Windows on. I put the bootloader on, and got the 'Complete' message, then flashed the new version of windows on. I get the progress bar going to 100%, but I never get the completed message. I've left it overnight, but it doesn't seem to want to work! It now won't switch on, so it's useless! Anyone got any ideas before I get in touch with Acer?

In our German forum someone could put his n35 back to life by re-flashing the boot loader and remove the sd-card during the process.
After this operation he could flash the old wm2003 rom and from this stage upgrade to the new boot loader and finally wm2003se.

Try at own risk.

When you say removing the SD card, is this when the progress bar is moving, or after the completed message comes up?

Thanks The Rock. I haven't yet had a chance to try this but I'd like to clarify what I need to do before I do it. So I start the flash using the bootloader image, and then remove the card whilst it is in progress. What do I do then? Do I reboot the unit and restart the flash process again with the old version of Windows, or leave the unit running and insert the card without rebooting? Also, do you know which is the old windows image on the Acer FTP site? I've downloaded the one that I think it is, but I'm not too sure.
