Mitac Mio 268

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help.

I have recently purchased a Mitac Mio 268 (not the + Version) from a friend. However I have been made aware that there is an Upgrade available for both the Rom and the Maps.

I have downloaded the rom update ready to do, but I cannot find the V2 map anywhere. I phoned Mio, and they were about as helpful as an ashtray on a motorbike, they told me it would be available again in the new year.

Can someone please tell me where I can download/purchase said map, (I only need the UK One), if anyone has it already could I possibly get a copy from you, which I would be willing to pay for.

Regards

Craig

Mio made the upgrade available for a while which was done directly via MIO so all i could recommend is wait till the new year.

Thanks for the reply Steven. Once I have got the new map, am I able to install any speed camera updates on there.

I have read about POI Warner - Would that help me?

Found this tucked away on the Mio website.You may have some luck if you phone round.

Mio Map CE v.1 to v.2 upgrades
Free Mio Map upgrades are not available any more through our e-shop.
You can still order them at your dealer's untill the end of stock

http://www.navigating.de/MioMap_en/POI/Index.htm will give you info on re poi's

This is really getting on my tits now, as no one can locate this map yet.

Ive still not updated the rom, as I have no map to upgrade with.

Has anyone heard any different?

If Halfords were given some as backups then Marc_L400's suggestion of trying to blag one from them is the way to go.

As stated elsewhere Mio have stopped the upgrade at the moment.
As an aside, the upgrade was free, actually getting it wasn't, you ordered it from the website and it cost £11 for postage from Belgium.

Having said that, the V2 maps are much better and there are more features (for example, the speed limit on the road you are using is displayed on screen as a proper uk speed limit sign).

I bought a 268 for my g/f last year. Had never heard of it, but it was lowest price unit on the day I got it. It's turned out to be very impressive. Halfords are currently doing them for £170!!!!

Thanks peeps - Gonna give Halfords a ring now - let you know how I get on.

Halfords - Waste of time.

According to them - dont stock them and never have.

Oh well.

Anyone else help me.

Regards

Craig.
