I have tried this on a medion unit (pna150)
and it works flawlessly
AS for Warranty
The unit itself is just a pocket pc running windows ce
its like saying you pc warranty will be invalid
if you run anything other than the pre-installed
programs

All Traces of any other programs will be lost
when you do a hard reset
e.g. Switch off master switch on back of unit.

All is needed is for someone to give us less confident types a blow by blow account of how to do it.

Come on guys, help us out, please.

OK. I'm up and running with this now. A couple of questions though, until I think of more.

I'm not familiar with PDA's, so how do I load mp3 and jpeg files onto the 510 now.

The calculator doesn't fit the screen properly which means the "Exit" "X" is out of view.

It's looking good though.

OK...........I've cracked the MP3 Player that's no sweat but I'm struggling to get JPEG images to fit the screen and not all applications seem to fit the screen 100% either.

I'll let you know how I get on.

I've got it intalled on my 510 as well and it's working alright except Explorer in the main menu--is this function working for you guys? Anyone try loading TomTom 5 yet? How does one go about installing other programs, will they automatically show up in the main menu or does something need to be done to get them there?

Thanks

Paul

My experience
Disclaimer: if you breaks yer 510 don't blame me or Aleks.
Do's and don'ts.
Do Send Aleks $5 or more for this excellent program.
Don't ask me about unlicenced versions of tomtom !
!!! DON'T MESS WITH THE FLASH !!!!

I got a spare 510 and used that.

Download and extract the zip
http://www.eurocom-ad.nl/eurocom/navman.zip
follow his instructions. I made my own self extracting file to downlaod everything to the correct place.
I may post it, if I get permission from Alex as it is effectively re-packaging his work, and I'd like permission.

Problems I found
Running the registry tool, the program crashes. Resstart the navman device. You want the connect mobile device registry option.
Reconnetc usb cable.
Try running registry tools again, it worked after a few attempts.

Installing tomtom.
To install tt5 and have navman you need a 256M card. You will need a new PPC id. Tomtom were very helpful when I said I wanted to install on a navman.

The installer crashes a few times.
eventually I got a clean install. Persist

Problems
obviously the navman buttons won't work (but someone is working on a keymap). Some of the tomtom screens don't fit properly. It locks up frequently, but then my XDA+tomtom locks up all the time too.

Things not to do !!!!!
(unless you know about JTAG:) Don't muck with the navman flash, like putting this menu to download from there, it breaks the checksum and you will have a brick and need recouse to JTAG.

Future work - This will problaby progress no further as +
User configurable menu
restore from SD card

Paulius55........Yes I sust that one out thanks. But I'm still struggling with MS Paint. I'm not getting access to all the tools in the top Tool Bar. Is it possible to play more than one MP3 file? I only seem to be able to play one file track at a time?
I still can't get any JPEG files to display more than about a tenth of the picture at the moment. It wouldn't be much use as a picture viewer as I think the processor is too slow for that job which is what I would have liked to use it as.
