MIOMPA V3.2 update

Palexr · Regular Visitor Joined: Jul 31, 2006 Posts: 91

Strangely, there are now manuals for Miomap v3 and miompa v3.2 on the mio-tech website.

Is there going to be an update, or newer models coming out with 3.2?

I have read on the a Dutch website that they have been told that would be an "update" within weeks, which would be sent out on a CD in the post. I didn't really have the time to work out what the update would be about - my Dutch is slow reading. This was from someone at the end of the Dutch Mio helpline. I will try to understand what the update is about and why they can't just have it as a download.

huh... what... when... where ....
that was like a bolt from the blue

could you maybe post that notorious website and I can then put it here the way it is..(my dutch isn't that slow ;-)

also if I happen to recieve any CD from MIO[ which would be a 7+1 wonder) , this would be the 1st place to know about it.

I have just spent a lot of money to call the Mio helpline, and the person there first denied that the 3.2 manual could be on their web site. When I insisted that I was looking at it right then, she said that it was still in development and not available. She also couldn't tell me whether it would be available for download or only on CD.

Have just had a quick read through the new 3.2 manual. Couldn't find anything different. Can you?
It's supposed to have import for XML camera lists, but can't see it in there.

According to the French gpspassion forum an update will be released for download sometime mid September.

Well, that's what a guy on that site says someone on a German website has been told. So fourth hand to you.

The new manual talks about TMC...seems like if they updated the manual, not the software!

Well, apparently they are working on a software update which wil be released Sept?

That is what some people have been told abroad.

It is of course an iGO update rather than a Mio one.

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,

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..

My Dutch is a bit basic, but I think that is the essence of it.

Miomio, maybe you could check I undestood it correctly and supply a better translation? (you are Dutch right?).

Here's a few words from one of the iGo developers:

"It's mostly about small bug fixes and changes, nothing major. They add up though. The only visible changes I can think of are the signpost information and the more detailed TMC messages. Maybe MIO will put together some change list."

Well here is what I received from someone at i-GO:
....
In MioMap v 3.2 which is not released yet, you'll be able to use XML based speedcams as well and you can hack it to use it instead of MIO's.
