MioMap Updater doesn't find updates

Hi,

Haven't posted in ages (March last year I think).

Anyhoo, I have finally got round to updating my MioMap V3 to V3.2. Only the updater runs and then tells me that there are no updates to be had at all.

Now this is pretty weird given that I haven't updated anything on the ubit since I bought it back in 2006!!!!

I have downloaded the latest MioMap V3 Updater from Mio-tech.be etc....

What am I doing wrong?

I'v got a C710 with Mio Map 3.1 on it apparently

I've got a 710 with MioMap Sept 06 on it. Mio updater says that there are no updates for mine either. I know there was one in March07. But Mio have been known to screw up, almost continuously.
So it probably aint you.

My version of MioMap is 3.2 and was released Sept 06. There was at least one even earlier version and a later version in march 07 (All MM3.2)
At one time mine offered to upgrade to March versioon, but I lost TMC and 7 digit postcodes so I went back to the original Sept06 Version. Now Mio tell me there are no upgrades when I know there is at least one.
The whole MIO upgrade and customer service stinks.
You could try emailling them. Some people get an answer. I did once.

I think they have taken the updates for the c710 down as the latest one v3.3 doesn’t seem to work to good, well not on mine anyway
I emailed them to see if there was a problem and they just told me to restore with the DVD I got with it
I have tried to run the update tool since restoring and it tells me there isnt a update

I'm with you on that one Sal.
What I can't understand is why MIO have the updater on line and don't offer ant updates, not even the ones that they have released in the past. How crap is that Question

I am very tempted to unlock the beast and run Igo on it. Anyone done that?

Mio C710 on MioMap 3.3

Yes, well Mio are trying – very trying.
After b*gg*ring up my C710 by the duff download on 02/01/2008,viz: on accessing MioMap

! Failed to open file:
ui_mio/mio/loading_c710.bmp
exiting application.

All the help Mio customer support could offer was that ‘Unfortunately as you have a device from another region than Western Europe I can't support you’.
After I finally disabused them of this novel delusion, they advised that I resort to reloading the original CD, which I did.
This, at the very least, removes all one’s favourites, and now also disables the TMC.
Subsequent runs of the updater were rewarded with the ‘no updates available’ message until around lunchtime this Friday 18th.
Then hurrah! updates were available.

On attempting this electronic miracle, Surprise Surprise: all I got was an Error message stating unable to download to local drive.
And now, early afternoon, the ‘There isn’t available update’ message is back.

Just how is Mio able to produce these pantomimes time after time?

What is one to say?
Except perhaps “Hello T.T. here I come!”
