Miomap v3.2 upgrade

Sallyann · Lifetime Member Joined: Jun 23, 2006 Posts: 768

We are told the Miomap v3.2 software for the C510 and C710 will be available in September. Mitac have now updated the on-line manual to version 3.2, which suggests that this is the version in current production. In common with many other uses, I am waiting to get hold of the latest software version to upgrade my unit.
Since the program disks are not locked to specific units (the licensing control is built into the firmware), any 3.2 disk should work with any compatible unit.
Could I ask please that anyone buying a new C510 or C710 checks the software version of the supplied CD, and lets us know if they have a 3.2? Also there are retailers who advertise on here and presumable read the posts. If any seller finds they have 3.2's in stock I am sure we would all like to know about it.

Ye gods, so not only do Mitac have the worst tech support in the world, they don't even make firmware upgrades available! :-(

Did anyone manage 3.0 to 3.1, and if so how? Is it just a question of uploading the map software via bluetooth?

some news for all interested.

the new 3.2 comes within 2 weeks from today.
The above was noted at the exchage in Hasselt (Eurosys) where mio was present.

I was under the impression that everyone with ver 3.1 would be sent a disc to update to 3.2, is this not the case?

Hi Sal, I thought I had seen it on here somewhere when someone mentioned the update towards the end of last month in one of the threads. Maybe I have
the wrong end of the stick.
Going by your comment I take it that we wont be getting the update then?
Surely if we have purchased the device`s then we qualify for the uptodate software. In the meantime, I have e-mailed miotech to ask them very nicely what the situation is, hopefully they will reply before xmas but cant guarante what year.
I will also try and find that bit I saw in the thread..

Regards...DIL

Right Sal, here`s the bit I was on about,

Right then, here is an email answer one of our Dutch friends received from the president of Mio Euope in Belgium after sending him a bug list.

Mijnheer HarryF,

Vooreerst mijn verontschuldigingen voor laat antwoord, het is niet de moeite, alleen de tijd die mij tekort schiet.

Uw initiatief en constructieve benadering apprecieer ik sterk en zal ongetwijfeld bijdragen tot verbetering van de Mio productlijn.
Vele van uw meldingen zijn ondertussen via gebruikers gemeld aan ons call center. Aanpassingen zijn gemaakt en worden in de field uitgetest.
Om op uw belangrijkste vraag te antwoorden, er is een versie MioMap 3.2 in de maak die we volgens onze planning in September zullen releasen, voor zover de field testen voldoening geven.
Wij voorzien de update via het internet. Kosteloos voor dezelfde user interface generatie (V3 of V4…) en dezelfde mapdata versie (Q1 2006)

Uw onderstaande lijsten zal ik aan d juiste instanties communiceren waar U een antwoord mag van verwachten.

Vriendelijke groet,

Paul Notteboom
Mio Technology Limited
President

Brusselsesteenweg 307b
1785 Brussegem

Yep, it's in Dutch.

However my initial understanding it says something like:

Sorry for not answering sooner....

I appreciate your initiative and constructive comments on the nio, rest assured that we are constantly seeking to improve the mio.
Many of your comments have already been gathered via our call centres. Changes are being made and are being tested.
To answer your question [when will there be an update], miomap v3.2 is in the pipeline and we plan to release it mid September, testing permitting. We are planning to release it via the internet, free of charge.
etc.., etc..

There`s a couple of comments from you there aswell, thought you would have remembered where I had seen it.

Unless of course I have got it wrong again!

DIL

Hi, I have just joined and have also just bought a new Mio C510. They are shipping v 3.11 Mio Map still.

I have a question for you experienced dudes please.

Can I download additional POI files for this unit? If you can how do you download them onto it. Also same question with regards to new voices please.

Welcome - try reading "POI import in C710 thread" this should cover off what you need. Laughing

Interesting that Bigrids mentions that he has 3.2 on his 510
