Yes. You need to find the CAB files on the CD, and copy them as is to the SD card. Then put the card into the Pocket PC, and tap on them in the Pocket File Explorer.

As a minimum you need the following

ttn.cab
gps.cab
(voice file of your choice).cab

The maps should be installed directly to the SD card while it is still in the card reader on your PC

Yes, you would need to copy the cab files from the installation CD. You need:

The Application .cab file
The GPS .cab file
The Voices .cab file
and the .cab file for your chosen map.

All components on the installation CD's are in normal Pocket PC "CAB" format, and the manuals are stored in standard web browser format.

    All manuals can be accessed by opening \manual\manual.htm (e.g. in a web browser)
    The CAB with the applications (one CAB for each language/chip) are in subdirectories of \app (for example in \app\eng for the english language)
    The CAB for the GPS support software is in \gps
    The CAB with the voice prompts are in \voice (for example, \voice\eng.cab contains the English voice prompts). "Louder" variants can be found in \voice2.
    The CABs for maps are in subdirectories of \nvxxx\map. For example, the complete Benelux map can be installed by installing "\nvbelu\map\blx\Benelux.CAB".
