v5.0.1.48 UK Update

Is updating just as simple as copying the .cab file to my pocket pc and running it, or does it need to be in a particular directory (or is it more complicated than that)?
Cheers,
Mike

That's all there is to it. Go to the alk europe site and download to your PC, then follow the instructions

I'm unclear as to whether or not .48 includes real time traffic or if it's still 'coming soon' ? (I realise that there's a dedicated board for this issue BTW, but this one seems to be more active)

...also, I'm currently on 5.0.1.30. According to ALK's support page .48 is only relevant to pre .22 versions - so there's no point in upgrading right ?

I was using version 5.0.1.30 with my Pocket PC and have upgraded it by copying the cab file over. I think you can ignore any advice on the ALK site that says the update is for pre .22 versions only.

I've only used it for 2 days now but the POI's seem to be working 100% of the time set to warn 0.2 or 0.5 miles ahead (slider thing one notch from the left). The slider does seem to reset itself every time you go into the options though so you have to set it back even if you are just changing another option.

I have now got circles instead of roundabouts and ramps instead of sliproads. Also the speech has gone. I hoping I can find the language preferences file (language.cfg) and set it back to the UK settings. For some reason my install went to the main memory and not the storage card this time so I've got to hunt for the file.

I'll update if this works.

Found the language.cfg file in the copilot directory on the iPAQ itself. Copied my old file back and now I have roundabouts and speech again!

Used ver 48 for a few days now with no problems so would recommend it to anyone in the UK who hasn't upgraded. Just make a backup copy of the language.cfg and any other .cfg or .dat files you have changed yourself first.

For some reason, when I try to install the programme to an SD (250mb)card via Active sync, Co-pilot thinks that I do not have enough space on the card. Any ideas?

Hello - I'm new to the forum having bought a Mio 168 and CPL 5 on Saturday and I want to update to the latest patch v .48. So sorry in advance if this is a no-brainer question for the younger & more technically agile!

I downloaded the .cab file to my PC but am unsure as to the next step to get the extracted files onto the Mitac. I assume it's by copying it into the one of the Copilot or 2577 directories and then extracting it? If so which one? Or have I (probably) missed the point.

Many thanks in advance

Bigwig,

Many thanks for your help - it's appreciated. Yes have noted the comments about speech and language files.

BigWig, if you're installing the US version then it will reset your language, by copying the language.cfg to your desktop and adding the language=0 option and making sure it's set to UK English and not US English will fix this in future.

Rory, CoPilot desktop does have some problems seeing space through ActiveSync, it's best to download to a storage card and point it to your C:\ and then once completed just copy the \2577 directory (if you selected QuickStart) and also the \CoPilot directory and copy this to the root of your storage card.

I finally got round to restoring the sound on CoPilot after the upgrade to .48 removed it (are ALK Micro$oft in disguise ?). Imagine my delight to hear Roger now pronouncing 'miles' correctly again instead of the rather grating 'meelez'.
However, he no longer bothers to warn me of pending speed cameras (the only POI's I have enabled). I'm sitting on 9 points at the moment (3 petty motorway speeding fixed penalties) so it's important that I get this back - what do I need to do ?
