Hi guys

Its been a while but since i got my mio c510, the only update i got was i think from miosync's camera database for the updates. I debating whether or not to update the mio through yourselves or through miosync again as i aint updated it since early august..

any suggestions?

Hi anarchyuk.

I would opt for the PGPSW database every time.
Trouble with the Mio database is that it copies new cameras that you have added, to it's database. Fair enough, but if anyone else has entered the same camera a yard or so away from yours, you get two cameras appear in the same place in your new downloaded database.
I have seen 3 & 4 cameras but I believe someone round here has seen 5 cameras in the same location. Crying or Very sad

A very loud word of warning though.
You must, must, must delete Miosync from your PC before you even attempt to install the PGPSW database.
The reason being that Miosync copies your files before it downloads to your machine.
You will end up giving Mio a free copy of the whole PGPSW database.
Not part of the plan, me thinks.

CeeJay.

Could you please give instructions for downloading the PGPSW database and transferring the data to my C210.

The User Manual is very vague to say the least and any advice/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
